About
Tasteful Art Experience has been developed based on Dr. Iglesias research she completed with art therpist's from all over the United States. Based on her research, she found creative arts as a means to work with individuals dealing with aggression, tension, anger, and stress. Most importantly, she found meeting the cognitive levels and building an alliance with the individual is paramount. Dr. Iglesias uses both of these concepts within the Tasteful Art Experience. Through her research and research of others it has been found the use of art through creative means has reduced aggression, anger, tension, and stress. In addition, it improves impulse control, emotional expression, coping skills, and social skills. Previous research showed through art participants reported they developed the ability to sustain relationships with other participants adding to their social wellbeing. Furthermore, research describes the use of visual arts as another form of communicating and self-expression for the therapist along with the client (Harter, 2007). Visual arts are said to have the ability to change the clients physical and mental well-being (Bolwerk et al., 2014). Harter (2007) explains the use of visual arts to George Kelly’s (1955/1991) description of the creativity cycle as it elaborates on the creative process showing how one can create new possibilities and it explores their personal and professional identities (Scheer & Sewell, 2006).
