Research Study
Creating Art about Your Experiences with Healthcare
Summerland: Share Healthcare Experiences via Art
Closed Recruitment
Health Areas
Palliative Care, Lung Cancer, Cardiac Rehabilitation, Genetic Counseling, Other General Health
Study Purpose
The purpose of Embodied Books is to investigate how creating and reading artists’ books (fine art that takes the form of a book) can help health researchers understand patient perspectives on healthcare, illness, disability, caretaking, or other topics related to health in new and multi-sensory ways. I firmly believe first-person stories are vital to understand medicine from the patient’s point of view, and you can be a part of that progress.
Details
No prior experience in art or writing is necessary! Participants will meet weekly at the Summerland Arts Council building to create two artists' books using painting, drawing, collage, binding, printmaking, and writing prompts. Keep one copy of your books, and choose to donate a second to the Embodied Books collection to use within medical education.
