Introduction to Art Therapy

Art therapy is an established form of psychotherapy which faciliates self expression and self awareness through the use of art materials and the creative process.

Art work becomes a visual expression of the person’ s underlying driving forces, hopes, motivations, fears and blocks.

Art therapists believe that the act of making a piece of art, triggers internal activity that contributes to physical, emotional and spiritual healing. For people who are not able or ready to create art, viewing art refreshes the spirit and promote relaxation.
