Forward CCP with tools of Museum Art-based Therapy
Museum Art-based Therapy is an indirect form of creativity that covers different methods of contemplating pictures. It is usually practiced in museums or through online museum exhibitions. Professional artists' pictures are offered for viewers to perceive and relate to (the receptive part). Viewers are invited to use the pictures for experimental painting or collage work (active response)
Forward CCP with Intermodal Transfer
Intermodal transfer involves shifting between different art modalities to enhance sensory and emotional awareness
