Special Topic in Photography
Okay, here is the thing, next semester is my last semester then I get my associates in applied science for photography. I have a minor background in psychology..and plan to go to a school like NYU for my master's in art therapy when I get older.. (if I ever reach that point..haha)
Anyways, my question is that.. I need one more photography elective and I am not fond of what is being offered to me next semester, and I rather do an independent study topic through the semester as an independent study, I just have to write a proposal and hand it in to my head professor for approval. I want to do something along with Art Therapy..but I feel I can't get that far, though I know Art Therapy is offered in a bachelors degree at a school I had looked into...so I know I can possibly try to make it work at my level, I also thought about doing something with psychology and photography..with something of the stages of life or some sort.. I know I am going to have to write a paper for each thing I do.. I'm just not sure how I can make this work, I have my heart set that I can do this.. but I don't know what I can write for my proposal.. I always tend to get these ideas, that I find hard to pull off..but I still managed to push myself to get through it.
Any ideas on what I could do? Thanks.

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
To me when someone talks about Art Therapy what I envision is sitting someone down with either paper and pencil or canvas and brush and have them draw or paint something. As the drawing or painting develops the therapist can pull ideas from them to discuss with patient. Just how you could work this into photography is hard for me to understand.
Thinking about it what I foresee is starting with a blank canvas or paper and then through a series of photographs follow the art work through. Describing each photo and its meaning to the therapist and how it is helpful to them. Since there is a privacy situation here I'm not sure how you would go about taking these photographs.
I'm not sure this is of any help to you but these are my thoughts.
