Mental Health (#2) – Art Therapy

Recently I went through a crowd funding campaign run by Mr. Alfonso Bui, who was planning to produce a movie on Art Therapy. Art Therapy!! what is it?

I too had this question in my mind. After couple of minutes, I started recollecting the story of a boy (Ishaan), an 8 year old Dsylexic student. Do you know who he is? Many of you might have seen him with Aamir Khan in class room. Yes, you are right, Its from the movie “Taare Zameen Par“. Then I went trough this video from Children’s Hospital Colorado, which help me understand about Art Therapy.

 
There might be feeling which are difficult to put into words by many people, but can be shown through different forms of art. Heyyyy!! Wait. Do we need to be good at drawing/Painting to practice this therapy? Is this therapy only for children?

The Answer is No.People from all ages can practice this to vent out their feelings.
