Abstract	The hypothesis of this thesis is that the art therapy Expressive Therapies Continuum (ETC) methodology can be used in higher education training and in the professional work of applied artists in order to help them with the contemporary multifaceted challenges of their professions. Following successful examples of art therapy integration into art education in primary, middle and high school, this thesis takes on a challenge to overlay art therapy approaches to educational techniques in academic art programs. Single-subject design research is presented here using ETC as a theoretical framework. Data was collected in three formats: 1) client’s actual artwork, using textile media, 2) her weekly written self-reflections, and 3) the researcher’s observations marked in Lusenbrick’s Table of Predominant Characteristics of Visual Expressions on different levels of the ETC. The table was used as an assessment tool to observe the client's favored ETC components, or overuse or underuse of them, pointing out where certain obstacles to optimal functioning could be detected. If art therapy protocols are integrated into the training curriculum, two positive tendencies can be observed. The student's visual expressions will progress from psychopathological variations to the creative transition area, as well as through a developmental hierarchical progression. Engaging all levels of ETC (kinesthetic/sensory, perceptual/affective, cognitive/symbolic, and creative) within the creative process stimulates whole brain activation, bilateral processes, haptics and, crossing the body's midline, while making art classes an engaging space for personal growth and discovery, leading to a stable physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing, giving artist self-regulated way to deal with mental challenges of contemporary markets. Integrating art therapy protocols into the highest level of art education could lead to a creation of therapeutic academic art curriculum.
Abstract (croatian)	Hipoteza ovog specijalističkog rada je da se art terapeutska metoda „Ekspresivni terapijski kontinuum” (ETC) može primjenjivati u visokoškolskom obrazovanju i profesionalnom radu primijenjenih umjetnika, s ciljem da im pomogne u suvremenim višeslojnim izazovima njihovih profesija. Slijedeći uspješne primjere integracije art terapije u umjetničku pedagogiju u osnovnim i srednjim školama ovaj specijalistički rad preuzima izazov da integrira art terapijske pristupe i edukacijske tehnike u akademskim umjetničkim programima. Istraživanje proučavanja pojedinačnog slučaja je prezentirano, koristeći ETC kao teorijski okvir. Podaci su prikupljeni u tri formata: 1) umjetnički radovi klijenta, koristeći tekstilni medij, 2) klijenotve tjedne pisane samorefleksije i 3) opažanja istraživača označena u Lusenbrickovoj tablici prevladavajućih karakteristika vizualnih izričaja pojedinca na svim razinama ETC-a. Tablica je korištena kao metoda procjene za promatranje klijentovih favoriziranih komponenti ETC-a, njihove ili prekomjerne ili nedovoljne upotrebe, ukazujući na to gdje se mogu otkriti određene prepreke za optimalno funkcioniranje. Ako su protokoli art terapije integrirani u nastavni plan, mogu se primijetiti dvije pozitivne tendencije. Vizualni izričaji studenta će napredovati od psihopatoloških varijacija do područja kreativne tranzicije, kao i kroz razvojnu hijerarhijsku progresiju. Kreativni proces koji obuhvaća aktivnosti na svih razinama ETC-a (kinestetički/senzorni, perceptualni/afektivni, kognitivni/simbolički i kreativni) potiče aktivaciju cijelog mozga, bilateralne procese, haptičku percepciju i križanje središnje linije tijela, čineći umjetničke predmete privlačnim mjestom za osobni rast i otkrivanje, dovodeći do stabilnog fizičkog, mentalnog i emocionalnog blagostanja, pružajući umjetnicima samoregulirajući načina nošenja s mentalnim izazovima suvremenog tržišta. Integracija art terapijskih protokola na najvišu razinu umjetničkog obrazovanja. mogla bi tako dovesti do kreiranja akademskog terapijskom umjetničkog kurikuluma.
