Art Wisdom is a fun, experiential workshop led by professional art therapists who have each developed distinct and unique approaches to using creativity, metaphor and symbolism to deepen participants’ creative spirit.

 

Mary Sue Foster, WSU professor of art education, is the liaison for the Art Wisdom workshop, which could highly benefit art teachers, she said, among others. Each art therapist will conduct one of the three sessions scheduled.
