Art Therapy and Mental Health Animal Behavior and Welfare Studies Human-Animal Interaction Studies

Abstract

A two-year pilot study involving the pre-art and proto-artistic behavior of high functioning animals was conducted. Focusing upon apes, elephants and dolphins, art activities were facilitated by both the author or through trainers in various zoological institutions around the country. Through first-hand practice and field observation, the author attempted to gauge both therapeutic and aesthetic responses to art media, as well as study artistic development in these animals.
