Art Therapy
What is art therapy?
Art therapy combines the creative process of art making and theories of psychotherapy.
In art therapy, the process of making art and the art product are tools to facilitate insightful exploration and communication of thoughts and feelings that may be challenging to express verbally. During an art therapy session, the focus is in on the art making process. Together, the artist and the art therapist explore metaphors and symbols that may be present the art product.
Who would benefit from art therapy?
Art therapy is for people of all ages and abilities. Art therapy is about self-expression and exploration, not about making “good” art. Prior art experience, skill or technique is not required to participate and benefit from art therapy.
