WHY ART THERAPY FOR WELLNESS?

About Art Therapy

What is Art Therapy?

Art therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses the creative process of art making as a mode of expression and communication to help improve a person’s physical, emotional, mental and social well-being, which can lead to increased resilience. It encourages the person to express emotion and explore their problems using a wide range of art materials, enabling positive change and personal growth.

 

The benefits of using Art Therapy

  • A growing body of evidence suggests that engaging in the visual arts for adults with mental health conditions can reduce depression and anxiety, increase self-respect and encourage re-engagement with the wider world 
  • Art making can be a safer way of expressing emotions and more hands-on and tangible.
  • Art Therapy can help people who struggle to talk about their feelings.
  • Increase awareness of self and others, confidence and resilience, develop coping skills and improve emotional and mental well being, recharge from emotional experiences.
  • For children, art therapy can aid in the development of abstract thinking skills and emotional development.

 

What is the difference between Art Therapy and an Art lesson?

Art Therapy is different from an art lesson as it is more about expressing how you feel. The important thing is reflecting on the artwork and process rather than the end result. To be doing Art Therapy it must be under the guidance of a trained and registered art therapist.
