The true function of art therapy is to inspire us express our emotions and tell our stories. When words do not suffice we ask images and symbols to talk about us.
Art therapy offers an alternative way of communicating through visuals and symbolism. It processes inner experiences that express themselves through various art materials. The participants do not have to know how to draw or interpret art.
The work of art encompasses representations of the self in relation with others. Thus, it provides the opportunity to interact between the inner and the outer world, acting as a transitory place.
“Knowing thyself” (gnothi sauton) is the actual getting to knowing ourselves. Its true essence lies in caring for the soul, self-awareness, awareness of our skills, abilities and potential. It helps us understand the way we could act in order to gain the real self-awareness.
