rt therapy refers to any use of art for a therapeutic purpose, including relief from anxiety and stress.

The theory behind art therapy suggests drawing, coloring, painting, and sculpting can help you tune into and express painful or difficult feelings you have trouble putting into words.

Kelly Lynch, a licensed mental health counselor and registered art therapist in Seattle, WA, explains that art therapy can help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself both through the creative process and the resulting artwork.“The creative process promotes new perspectives that lie beyond the structure of language,” Lynch says. “Art uses metaphor, symbolism, and dynamic thoughts to represent the human experience in a way language cannot. This is particularly important for people who feel out of touch with their emotions or sense of self.”

draw For love Drawing is the speech of art. The words we utter, the stories we tell. It comes before writing - tiny infants do it -and quite often after script has departed (my artist mother can scarcely write now, in her 90s, yet still she draws).

Holding a stub of crayon or chalk comes early and late. All children scrawl and scribble at first, absorbed by their own power to leave marks on paper; then they may describe something seen in the world. The sun is a circle radiating ray lines, a flower the same but with loops, stick figures abound from Lascaux to the present day. Perhaps it is true, as the Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget proposed, that children’s drawings have a universal quality.

Certainly our brains are able to read two dots and a dash as a face from the earliest age, just as it is, for most of us, the configuration of our first drawn portrait.

Photogra

There are moments in life that need to be captured for later reflection and memories.

Moments that speak for themselves, they are worth capturing and reminiscing in the future.

The captured moment, therefore, is as artistic as the person shooting it. The raw materials are all there to do with what you like. You may shoot the birthday party straight ahead and it is simply a snapshot. But if you place an artist in that same scene and ask them to make art of that moment, their decisions will be different. The artistic eye and the creative choices of the photographer take an everyday moment and turn it, decisively, into art.

Photography is an art of captur a moment that means someth

moment but looking at it later gives you a chance of looking

than you generally would if were present there. It is just li canvas is for a painter, a cam and its lens is for a photograph it is their canvas 11
