Occupational Engagement, Doing, Being, Becoming and Belonging.

The occupation I choose for this section was Painting. Painting is an Art form that I took part in and watched during my first fieldwork placement. I choose this occupation as it seemed to be one of the occupations that made the clients relaxed and they all seemed to enjoy it no matter their experience. 
The main words for this week have been Do, Be, Become and Belong.

Do or doing ‘includes purposeful, goal orientated activities’ (Hammell, 2004).

Be or being is said to be ‘time taken to reflect, be introspective or meditative, (re)discover the self, savour the moment, appreciate nature, art  or music in a complimentive manner and to enjoy being with special people’ (Hammell, 2004).

Becoming ‘Describes the idea that people can envision future selves and possible lives, explore new opportunities about who they wish to become over the course of their biographies and how their lives might be experienced as worthwhile. (Hammell, 2004).


Belong is described as ‘social interaction, mutual support and friendship, and the sense of being included’. (Hammell, 2004)

The first 5 images in the slideshow are my own.
Image 1 and 2 are both of Artwork that was done by clients on my first placement. These show the word ‘Do’. Painting was one of the goal orientated activities they took part in.

Image 3 also shows ‘Do’ and how even with an injury or limitation you can still participate in occupation.

Image 4 Is ‘Belong’ and is showing the social interaction whilst doing art.

Image 6 I choose because I thought it was a unique way of showing ‘Becoming’. This lady is envisioning the future for her unborn child with the world painted on her stomach.

Image 7 also shows belonging, these people participated in painting at their community center.

Image 8 is ‘Be or Being’. This painting is being done in a children’s ward. It is going to allow the viewer to savour the moment and reflect.

Image 10, 11 and 12 help to show that you can also paint occupations whilst doing an occupation (painting). It also shows that it is not just humans that are occupied it can also be animals.

Image 13 and 14 show that art is not only an occupation to be done on a piece of paper or canvas as seen on this building in Germany and street.

Image 15 is a painting completed by a foot and mouth artist.

Image 16-20 are famous paintings that are worth a fortune.

 The ethical considerations i made were :
For the photos I took myself I made sure I had consent from the individuals in the photo. If they did not want their photos taken or me to use the photos I explained that it was ok and I took a photo of someone else.

Another ethical consideration I made when taking the photos was to make sure each person felt comfortable. I did not single out one person or take photos of some people and not others.


When copying pictures of the internet I made sure the photos were from an authentic site and not from facebook or any other social chat site.
