Transpersonal Art, Transpersonal Psychology

↑ Grab this Headline Animator

"We recognized the role of imagination and ritual that is shared between contemporary psychotherapies and all ancient traditions. It was also evident that the arts are the bridging existential phenomena that unite ritual, imagination and dream-world in a way that no other activity can do." -Paulo Knill (p50 in Foundations of Expressive Arts Therapy)

 

You may already know.

Transpersonal art will continue as a growing trend among academics; because it focuses on self-realization and design psychology, it will be the tool used increasingly to create inspiring places. Spiritual considerations and psychology are now the principal design tools used to create aesthetically and functionally beautiful places, emotionally  and socially fulfilling spaces, because all significant events in life reflect a deeper sense of purpose, meaning and direction in this, the human experience!

 

 

Transpersonal Art is not magic, it is the creative imagination. Transpersonal art reflect a distinguished lifestyle as a vivid chronicle of art, and entertainment of people, places and things, of exciting new ideas in a challenging and changing world.

What is Transpersonal Art?

Some academics have defined James e. Woody's paintings as a derivative of the Action Art Movement.  

 "Action Art is a term first coined by Harold Rosenberg, it refers to unconventional techniques of applying paint to a canvas and connected to the Abstract Expressionist movement. More precise in its meaning, Action Painters believe in the expressive power held in the actual act of painting as much as in the finished product. Rosenberg defined the notion of the canvas as seen by the artists in this movement as being not a picture but an event".

What is the purpose of design psychology? 
The purpose of Design Psychology is to create environments that reflect the individual or group as well as encourage positive change.

What is Transpersonal Art Therapy?

Transpersonal art therapy focuses on self-realization, dealing less with curing and more with healing. Curing without healing is a triumph; healing which may entail curing is a necessity. 

What is the purpose of art therapy?

 

The mind and body is more than just an extremely complex machine. We are also spiritual beings learning from life, searching for meaning in birth, death, and all that precedes and follows our life cycle.  The psycho-spiritual traditions of the world's cultures offer us the potential for new models of health and well-being. Comparative studies of spiritual and religious systems and transpersonal anthropology are an important part of  Transpersonal art therapy.  

We take ownership of our possessions: furnishings, clothing, cars and so much more as a representation of our vision, our worth or even our aspirations. Even our choices in art are therapy. Now there is more, there is Transpersonal art, more effective than  aromas, candles or even a spa day. Did you know that art therapy is an established mental health profession. True, art therapy uses the creative process of art making to improve and enhance the physical, mental and emotional well-being of individuals of all ages. It is based on the belief that the creative process involved in artistic self-expression helps people to resolve conflicts, develop interpersonal skills, manage behavior, reduce stress, increase self-esteem and self-awareness, and achieve insight.

Art therapy integrates the fields of human development, visual art (drawing, painting, sculpture, and other art forms), and the creative process with models of counseling and psychotherapy.  This unique approach connects us with the notions of spiritual well-being first articulated in the Humanistic Counseling literature of the sixties and seventies as well as thousands of years of world wisdom traditions. These contemplative traditions see healing as a return to “right relations” with all life forms on our planet. The Transpersonal approach to the Art Therapy embraces a visionary perspective for the field without ignoring traditional therapeutic applications of art and psychotherapy. As flexible as the creative process itself, Transpersonal Art Therapy mindfully integrates traditional and new paradigms with the wisdom of ancient spiritual systems. The discipline of creating art, which has been the inspiration for the field, invites one to enter into an authentic relationship with culture, self, process and product. Art therapists are masters level professionals who hold a degree in art therapy or a related field. Educational requirements include: theories of art therapy, counseling, and psychotherapy; ethics and standards of practice; assessment and evaluation; individual, group, and family techniques; human and creative development; multicultural issues; research methods; and practicum experiences in clinical, community, and/or other settings. Art therapists are skilled in the application of a variety of art modalities (drawing, painting, sculpture, and other media) for assessment and treatment.  We hope -- or even expect -- that Transpersonal Art will be the cutting edge for changes in the culture, social and political spheres. This New Art would spot, then depict, new ways of seeing, new modes of being, new forms of cognition, new heights or depths of feeling, and in all cases, new modes of perception. It would spot, and depict, the coming worldview, while breaking decisively with the old.

What is the purpose of design psychology? 

According to Toby Israel, PhD. a visionary founder of the new field of Design Psychology. "The purpose of Design Psychology is to create environments that reflect the individual or group as well as encourage positive change".  Using design psychology to create inspiring spaces: Design psychology is defined as "the practice of architecture, planning and interior design in which psychology is the principal design tool used to create not just aesthetically and functionally beautiful places, but emotionally and socially fulfilling places." The process involves a sort of environmental autobiography, where the client meticulously, methodically explores the places in their past and present that elicit the most positive memories - what Toby calls an environmental family tree.  This in turn is used to generate visions for the future with enough detail that they can be collectively translated.

GP2: Preliminary Market Analysis.

Young affluent -- roughly corresponding to the Generation X and Millennial generations -- will play an increasingly important role in the target market for our global luxury art products over the next ten to twenty years. This is true not just in the United States (with a median age of 36.5 years) or in the European countries (where the median age ranges around 40 years old), but in the developing luxury markets, like Brazil (median age 28.2 years), India (24.9 years) and China (32.7 years), where the population as a whole is more youthful.

Rational: We seek to benefit from market trends to take art enthusiasts from niche markets and opened it to the masses.  With the explosion of digital photography and color printing, we envision an enormous opportunity to  introduce Transpersonal Art.  Our market report provided vital market size, growth and demographics and it will empower us as the essential tool to better understand the dynamics of our art markets, today and into the future. The cornerstone of our research study of the luxury market, we combined qualitative and quantitative methodologies. The report is compiled from detailed statistics collected in eight waves of Luxury Tracking surveys during 2005 and 2006. The average income of our clients will be $139,075 and the gender distribution was 65 percent female and 35 percent male.

Findings: Americans spend the largest share of their budgets on housing and other home-related expenditures, 33 percent overall which is far more than they spend on food (13 percent), clothing (less than 1 percent), transportation (18 percent) or healthcare (6 percent), according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Expenditure Survey.

 

Our research reveals and analyzes three distinct segments in the luxury consumer market representing the top 25 percent of U.S. households by income. Throughout 2006 the average consumer surveyed had a household income of $140,000-$149,000: Near-Affluent, with household incomes of $75,000-$99,999, that represent 12.2 million households or 11 percent of all U.S. households. This segment represents 20 percent or less of the total sample and is representative of the trading up luxury market. Affluent, income of $100,000-$149,999, who makes up 10 million U.S. households or 9% of all households, and account for approximately 40 percent of our targeted audience. This segment represents the prototypical American "new luxury" consumer. Super-Affluent, The income segment making $150,000 and above, that represent the highest spending segment in all categories of luxury, and who make up 5 percent of U.S. households, or 5.6 million households. We have also complied a detailed profile of consumer market for art, books and other art collectibles to support our market entry. We also complied a psychographic profiles of the five different segments in the collector market providing as a deeper understanding of our markets desires and motivations that drive them as collectors to collect.
