Plasticizing

Alongside with art and music therapy, plasticizing also belongs to art therapies that are offered in the Hospital Havelhoehe. When plasticizing, a person captures the material, the ton. It is cold and humid; therefore, both hands must work together, shape and knead, until the warmth appears. The person must penetrate into the material, bring it into a form, shape, change, look at it from all sides, check the weighting, configure/construct and remove, until a sculpture emerges which is convincing by its balance. The therapist lets the patient work freely first in order to then find an individual way of development. All these exercises have a direct influence on creative live powers of the person.
