Express - express yourself - group self-development with art therapy

What is art therapy?
The simplest definition of art therapy is a therapeutic effect using the resources of art. It is an activity which lies between art and psychotherapy, where art is the creative act and the resulting artefacts, therapy is following the process of change in relation to the artwork. It should be noted that in art therapy creation is the most important element, unlike in psychotherapy where drawing is sometimes used as a supplementary element. Visual creation opens the way to communication between the inner self and the external world, following Malraux: " Art is the shortest way from man to man".
