This second edition expands upon a program that teaches expressive visual arts activities to college students to share with individuals in jails, nursing homes, psychiatric facilities, domestic abuse shelters and youth care centers.

Creating expressive art through interaction with those affected, students gain an intimate awareness of crime; mental illness; substance, child, domestic abuse; and aging--critical issues of our time. Specially designed projects in drawing, painting, collage, sculpture and crafts are supplemented with student reflections on how the experience influenced their lives and future careers plus institutional evaluation on the effectiveness of the program on their clientele.
