Objectives in learning:
Exploring our relationship to a single canvas over time during supervision or consultation helps us to learn, reflect and grow as clinicians. According to (Abby) Miller the El Duende Process Painting, Founder;
“By working on the same art piece over multiple sessions (or through out a seminar), the sequential layering of art materials enables ongoing self-reflexivity through aesthetic attunement and clinical intuition. The process offers direct experience with complex reflective processing, aesthetically focused attention, and opportunities to explore multiple relationships, often activating deep layers of professional and personal identity material.”
Miller, 2013
The structure of the seminar includes three main activities: (a) spontaneous painting, (b) complex reflective processing, and (c) aesthetically focused attention to imagery appearing in the painting that parallels the internship/clinical experience. Engagement from active imagination, feedback loops, and supervisor input informs critical reflection and learning.
