What is art therapy?

Usually at some point or other in life, people find themselves overwhelmed by the intensity of their emotions. They find them difficult to face either by themselves or with others. Art therapy offers an opportunity to explore these intense or painful thoughts and feelings in a supportive environment. It involves using a wide variety of art & craft materials, e.g. paints, clay and batik, to create a visual representation of thought and feelings. Art Therapy can also be a very individual activity although it is most commonly practised in groups.
