'Every child is an artist.' Pablo Picasso
Any form of Art (whatever the medium: Pastels, Pencils, Acrylic, Oil, Paper, Canvas; Sculpting, Modelling Clay, Pottery; Needlework, Macrame, Jewellery Making; Music, Dance, Theatre, etc) has a very strong therapeutic effect.
And as Picasso so succinctly observed, Artistic activity is an incredibly powerful form of self-expression, inherent in every individual. The mode of expression may differ but each individual's expression is uniquely their own and they are in no way bound to follow any 'prescribed formats.'
In this Practice:
Satarupa says
Go Ahead and Just PLAY with
Colours and Paints
Clay and Dough
Paper and Pens
Beads and Threads
Music and Vocal Chords
Movement and Dance
For her this is as much a powerful Healing Practice as an Effective Diagnostic tool in Therapy
The Artistic Expression
Begins within a Counselling & Therapy Session
Continues between Counselling & Therapy sessions
For Art Therapy Workshops, it begins and extends interactively during the course
Continues beyond Therapy sessions and Workshops as the clients/participants 'rediscover' their own Creativity and the Joy it brings, as they continue in their new-found confident explorations
The forms of Artistic Expression are selected by the clients guided unobtrusively by the Therapist in excavating their preference for Visual, Tactile, Spatial or a Kineasthetic mediums
This Practice Helps with:
The client's self-expression in a Counselling session where it complements 'the Talk Therapy' and the 'Journalling Practices'
It helps the Counsellor-Therapist get 'a clearer picture of what the client wishes to convey and achieve
