IFS/Art Expressions Examples
Drawing & Painting
Drawing and painting techniques with simple materials such as pencils, oil pastels, water colors and tempera paint allow the expression of sensations, thoughts and feelings.
They can be used as warm up exercises, facilitate right brain activation, create images of different parts of ones inner landscape.
Soul Collage
Soul Collage is a small format collage consisting usually of a foreground and a background. The image of the foreground can be an animal, person or object, which then is asked which background it would chose for itself.
The advantage of using Soul Collage as a technique is that anyone can do it and that it allows the creation of a very clear and "uncluttered" image which then can be observed.
Soul Collage works perfectly for "externalizing" the
IFS parts of "Protectors" and "Exiles".
Mixed Media
Mixed media can include found natural and man
made objects which are used to create sculpture and
assemblages. The created piece can reflect thought,
emotions, sensations which then can be gently
observed and explored.
