Commonly, this therapeutic modality involves the use of creative techniques such as drawing, painting, collage, coloring, or sculpting to help people express themselves artistically and explore the psychological and emotional meaning in their art.
With the guidance of an art therapist, clients can examine the nonverbal messages, symbols, and metaphors which often appear in these art forms. This should lead to a better understanding of their feelings and behavior so they can move on to resolve deeper issues.
