What kind of interaction would the video require from your students? Does it force them to respond in some way (inherent)?

The interaction in this video is inherent because students can reflect on and experience the process and effects of art therapy while watching. Although they are not directly involved in the therapeutic process depicted in the video, they can observe and attempt to understand how art works are connected to emotions, mental health, and personal expression.

In what way are they likely to respond to the video on their own, e.g., make notes, do an activity, or think about the topic (learner-generated)?

Taking notes: Students can jot down their observations and reflections on the art therapy process and its effects. They can note the characteristics, emotional expressions, and techniques portrayed in the artworks presented in the video and consider how these artworks relate to their own emotions and experiences.

Engaging in art activities: Inspired by the video, students can try their hand at creating art. They can use drawing, sculpture, writing, or other mediums to express their emotions and thoughts, while contemplating the impact of art on emotions and mental well-being.

Reflecting and discussing: Students can independently reflect on the concepts and principles of art therapy presented in the video and engage in discussions with their peers, sharing their viewpoints and experiences. They can contemplate how art helps individuals express emotions, alleviate stress, and promote psychological health.

What activity could you suggest that they do after they have watched the video (designed)? What type of knowledge or skill would that activity help develop? What medium or technology would students use to do the activity?

Provide students with blank journals or sketchbooks, as well as art supplies such as colored pencils, markers, paints, and collage materials.

Encourage students to use the art journal as a personal space for self-expression and reflection.

Prompt students to create art entries that reflect their emotions, thoughts, or experiences. They can use different art mediums and techniques to visually convey their feelings.

Encourage students to experiment with different art forms, such as sketching, painting, collage, or mixed media, to enhance their creative expression.

Skills Developed: Artistic expression and creativity, self-reflection and introspection, communication and self-expression.

Medium/Technology: This activity can be completed using traditional art supplies such as paper, pencils, paints, and collage materials. However, if desired, students can also choose to incorporate technology, such as using digital drawing tablets or exploring digital art applications to document their art journal entries.

How will you address any potential barriers for your learners in the use of this video to ensure an inclusive design?

Provide captions or subtitles: Adding captions or subtitles to the video would allow learners with hearing impairments or those who prefer reading along with the audio to access the content effectively.

Visual presentation: In the video, I would include visual representations of the concepts and techniques discussed in Art Therapy. This would benefit learners who have difficulty processing or understanding purely verbal information. Visual cues and demonstrations can enhance comprehension and engagement.

Multilingual support: If possible, I would provide translations or subtitles in different languages to cater to learners with diverse linguistic backgrounds. This would promote inclusivity and accessibility, enabling learners whose first language may not be the language used in the video to understand the content.

Consider cultural sensitivity: Art Therapy is influenced by cultural perspectives and practices. I would ensure that the video acknowledges and respects the diversity of cultural backgrounds among learners. It would emphasize the universal aspects of Art Therapy while recognizing and appreciating different cultural expressions and interpretations.
