Art is an ancient mode of expression that preceded the evolution of verbal language. Art and non-verbal expression are essential elements in our lives, promoting new forms of communication, expression and creativity. We are born with an innate need to make marks, images, symbols and visual dialogues that can be pointers towards relief, healing and change.
Art Therapy as a therapeutic modality has evolved as an effective tool for healing that can be used as a treatment approach in itself, as a diagnostic or assessment tool or in conjunction with verbal therapy. Creating art helps accept and fulfil inner needs and provides us with a better understanding of ourselves in our environment. Creativity brings a sense of joy and accomplishment even when there is pain and supports the expression of needs and experiences.
