You do not have to be good at art, artistic or experienced in art making in any way. Art therapy is not about making works of Art.
Art therapy involves using art materials during your therapy session. This may feel odd and a bit embarrassing to start with. Over time this will help you to express and to explore your inner world as well as your relationships with others.
It is often extremely difficult to put into words psychological and emotional distress, art making offers another form of expression. Making art during your therapy session can help you think about and understand your thoughts and feelings. Art can help you express these more creatively and to manage them more effectively.
The Art made in therapy varies and can include drawing and painting, collage and sculpture. It will be your choice and a range of art materials will be available for you to explore and experiment with should you choose to do so.
The process of art making may help you to become more aware of thoughts and feelings and this can be as important as the picture or object you make. Each session usually comprises some art making and time to talk. Art making is not compulsory but it does help.
