Visual art therapy is a form of therapy that uses the tools and techniques of visual art to work with a client. The tools use a variety of colors, clay, photography, installations and techniques for graphics, painting, sculpture, photography and video filming. The goal of therapy is to help the client better cope with their life. The specific goals depend on the individual needs of each client. In visual art therapy, it is important to express yourself through the image, to understand it, and to share your feelings and thoughts with the therapist.

Why does visual art therapy help?

Pablo Picasso said that "art is a delusion that tells the truth." What is "truth" about ourselves, you can learn through creative activity. In therapy, we create and organize our world and ourselves in it.

Visual art therapy is used in a therapeutic context because both the body and the mind are active in creating art: the body is a mirror of our emotions (for example, we feel anxious and sweat) (Sternberg, 2001). With the help of pictures, we can express what is difficult or impossible to say in words (non-verbal communication). An image is a mirror of our thoughts and feelings, and its creator can find important meanings, symbols, metaphors (analysis at different levels). During the creative process, we can deal with our imaginations because “fantasy is the bridge between body and mind” (Lusebrink, 1990). When we create art, we get in touch with ourselves and those around us. The creative process itself can relieve stress and cleanse.
The contact between client and therapist, that is, the therapeutic relationship, is one of the most important components of the therapeutic process. © May Sein Garcia
