The power and beauty of art and music transcends the borders of countries, as evidenced by the work of two Missouri State University professors in the College of Arts and Letters.
By its very nature, art can be soothing. For trauma victims or people experiencing anxiety, art can serve as a form of therapy, especially when guided by someone like Missouri State Art Professor Judith Fowler. Since becoming a registered art therapist in 1987, she has hosted a variety of workshops and researched art therapy for those in pediatric oncology units and those who are terminally ill.
