ARThi -Using Art to help TBI recoverees regain abilities.

ARThi.

The purpose of ARThi is to use all that needed creating art to give those who survive Traumatic Brain Injuries, abilities.

Because they lose many abilities, they do not talk to, do things or interact.
They become sidelined. Because they do not speak or talk with others, they just sideline themselves, just looking.
Instead of relating to those around, they cut themselves off.
*They become Observers.

They do not fit in.
They do not show any interaction.

They lack abilities, such as, to do task(s), to talk/relate about it, they 'observe' rather than to look and see.Their memory is not there (or 'confused'). They do not make memories of the image or object created, talk about the art just created, to take time doing the task, and do not finish.

Learning to create a picture (or an object) takes time, and many steps.
Such as:
-starting to use hands;
-hand:eye coordination;
-looking and seeing;
-making visual memories;
-relate these memories;
-making visual links of shape, colour, surface characteristics (such as matt, shiny)
-learning to talk to, and have dialogue with another person;
-learning that ....................
-learning to relate to an art worker;
-learning to make memories of the actions;

Learn to;
-do tasks,
-to finish task;
-to retain a memory of it;
-can relate this to other happenings/objects.
-to talk about the image/object created;
-prepare for work;
