Van Gogh Murals at TVN-Mount Vernon/Knox County
Okay they're replicas but the boys and girls that created the wall murals are the real thing! They are from Knox County and currently live at Children's Resource Center. The murals are the second set of wall art produced through CRC's art therapy program. Art therapy integrates the fields of human development, visual art and the creative process with models of counseling and psychotherapy. It is widely used at all ages from children to older adults and is very effective at helping resolve conflicts, develop interpersonal skills, manage behavior, reduce stress and increase self-esteem and self-awareness.
