the articles I am thinking about are 1."Art therapy,"

it seem as if art therapy is the best topic for this assignment because some of the comments suggest that the article needs work and better understanding of the field and sources. I plan on using books as my main sources along with other sources. The book I enjoyed that came out in 1995 was "Art is the way of Knowing".Cite error: There are <ref> tags on this page without content in them (see the help page). Another printed book which came out in 2001 was "Art as Therapy".</ref> I feel these two book are a great start.

Notes: I will add information about Adrian Hill who where art therapist in England. Adrian Hill was being treated at a sanatorium for tuberculosis when he connected with other patients and had them participated in a self-expressive art project with him. In result he also connected with Edward Adamson and they expanded into therapeutic application that open doors to have freedom of creativity with out judgment but all about self-expression. "Art therapy history,". http://www.arttherapyjournal.org/art-therapy-history.html

Expressive arts improve one’s emotional state or mental well-being in a helpful way. Treatment consist of relieve stress,tension, and a self-discovery. Art therapy thrives on the process rather than the technique of the art. It allow imagery in a creative environment to encourage spontaneous expression of feeling drawing from within to produce a freedom of release outward.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Cindywalker1 (talkcontribs) 17:11, 26 April 2017 (UTC) Mr. Hill also wrote a book that explain the benefits of using art and therapy together to assist in the healing or coping with illnesses.

 Through history people with unique disabilities could make a living because of their indifferences. For instance in a circus performance in the 17th and 18th hundred's.  

P.T. Barnum made millions of dollars by capitalizing on the disabilities of the individuals with birth defects. Barnum mission was to sprinkle magic that would attract the public and pleasing them for a profit. His performers were paid a handsome amount, some did earn as much as today sports athlete. Born in 1811 Chang and Eng were conjoined twins at the chest and were famous due to their indifference. By the 1920s media changed the public perception of disability in the performing arts field and how and where they were seen. Disability rights also played a major part in the change during the depression which changed how the people spent their time in amusement.

Great artist that paved the way such as Wolfgang Mozart who was deaf and perform timeless classical pieces, or Ray Charles and Steve Wonder who were both blind and contributed soulful music to the entertainment industry.
