Art therapy and art coaching are based on the genuine creativity that exists in all of us. You don’t need to know how to draw or paint at all, to put it in action. It is not a problem either, if the last time you held a crayon or a paintbrush in your hand, was when you were attending the kindergarten. 🙂
What is more, here the emphasis is so much on free creation, that it can even be advantageous! Why? Because we’re working on letting go all external expectations and internal constraints to meet them…. and if we manage to realise this, we may indeed be given over to drawing, and experience its abandoning happiness. It didn’t come to our mind in the kindergarten either „Oh, I can’t even draw!”
Creation without any expectations. Creation that sets you free. Creation that recalls our childhood memories of drawing, painting and playing with plasticine, while we also face who we have become.
It is a path of self recognition that is open to all of us. Who steps on this path, gets swept away from the everyday routines, and experiences the wonders of creation. May see her or himself from new perspectives, because there is all in our drawings, what is inside of us.
Through drawing, painting, music and conversations, art therapy helps us meet our inner images and emotions, recognize and express them. Our problems and difficculties become visible, however, we also get the key to their solution. We may find our resources, look for new directions and take the first steps towards change.
