Triptychs first appeared in the Middle Ages. Their primary function was to serve as an aid to devotion or prayer. A contemporary definition of triptych is "a set of three associated artistic, literary or musical works to be enjoyed together." The three panels of this triptych represent the Art Therapy, Dance/ Movement Therapy, and Music Therapy services provided through the Ponzio Creative Arts Therapy Program at Childrens' Hospital Colorado. CREATE depicts the beauty, joy, and flow of the collaborative creative process. The mural also contains within it some symbols and tools that inspire and enable all sorts of creative acts.
