The works in this exhibition are the result of a partnership between the Department of Art and Art History and Livestrong Cancer Institutes that explores the intersection of art and healthcare. By creating art with and for cancer patients, caregivers, and clinical staff, Aesthetics of Health students use their art to make connections and build relationships with others in a clinical setting. Students in the course explore community-based practice, the application of therapeutic arts, science and medicine, and inserting a higher level of empathy into their creative work.
Resultado de una colaboración entre el Departamento de Arte e Historia del Arte y los Institutos de cáncer Livestrong, las obras de esta exhibición investigan la intersección del arte y la atención médica. Al crear arte con y para pacientes con cáncer, cuidadores y personal clínico, los estudiantes de Estética de la Salud utilizan sus obras para establecer conexiones y cultivar relaciones con otras personas en un entorno clínico. Las estudiantes del curso exploran las prácticas comunitarias, la implementación de arte con fines terapéuticos, la ciencia y la medicina, y el desarrollo de un mayor nivel de empatía en su trabajo creativo.
