Art Project
Sharing your feelings through creative means, through art and writing, can make your story more approachable and give it emotional impact. You can choose painting, drawing, poetry, story telling, collage, or even the creation of a comic. You don’t have to be ‘an artist’ to create a picture that can communicate your story with power. This section isn’t designed for artists, but people who want to express themselves visually whether or not they have any artistic experience. Use the packs within this forum to guide your inner artist. ArtyJaneH, our resident artist will help guide you.

HAVOCA always checks that ethical approval is in place before allowing research to be conducted here. HAVOCA always does its best to try and guarantee the ethical, moral and legal position of the researchers but ultimately it is down to the individual to make sure they feel safe volunteering and taking part in any specific requests. If in doubt ask.
