MUSIC & ART THERAPY:

THE EMOTIONAL IMPACT OF MUSIC & ART THERAPY

My Undergraduate Capstone Project!
Involving a Thesis Paper and Art Show
How are art work and artistic expression of emotions impacted by different genres of music?
Thesis: Different genres of music hold different emotional qualities, each impacting the art work that is created during art therapy sessions. Music and art can be used in tandem to promote self-expression, emotional release, and consolation.
Each piece is inspired by a different genre of music and the genre‘s emotional and visual qualities.
