What is Art Therapy?

The art therapy is based on the creative process of any artistic expression (music, dance, theater, sculpture, painting, etc.) for emotional and mental balance. The aesthetic aspect is not relevant and the program is therefore not limited to people with artistic experience because it is the process of creating art that counts. The Art Therapy can be aimed at children, adults, youth or even seniors.

The creativity and the affinity are used to support the creative process and stimulate expression in multimodal and multisensory way. Art therapy creative process is performed freely and independently. The therapist is a companion and guide for this process.

At pedagogical level, the creative process results in new meanings and supports the learning process.
