2 What is Art Therapy? “Art therapy is the therapeutic use of art making, within a professional relationship, by people who experience illness, trauma or challenges in living, and by people who seek personal development. Through creating art and reflecting on the art products and processes, people can increase awareness of self and others; cope with symptoms, stress and traumatic experiences; enhance cognitive abilities; and enjoy the life-affirming pleasures of making art.” –American Art Therapy Association (AATA) http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=KWcucBlxCD8
