Art Therapy: Painting Glasses, Sharpening Art Creativity and Independence
JAMBI (January 22nd 2020) - Social Welfare Services Recipients (PPKS) of the Social Rehabilitation Center for Children who need Special Protection (BRSAMPK) “Alyatama” in Jambi started Wednesday morning by polishing the colors of paint on the glasses in their hands. This is a form of Art Therapy which is routinely carried out in the Study Room as a medium for PPKS to be creative. There was joy and enthusiasm emitted from each PPKS.
"Wow, exciting. It's cool to paint on a glass!" said one of the PPKS cheerfully.
The painting activity was accompanied by three social workers, namely Aulia Mirza, Alita Milasari, and Findania Zhellytagustinia. The social worker gives each child a glass cup, glass enamel paint, and a brush with which to paint the picture to their liking.
"Every child can paint. Children can express something through pictures. In addition, through the coloring process, we can also see which children can patiently refrain from following the flow or process and which children want to finish quickly," said Alita.
