This was an interesting lecture. I had heard about Art Therapy before but hadn't looked into it or learnt much about it before. After learning more about Art therapy I have decided it's not something that interests me although it was interesting learning about it.
It was fascinating learning about how art can be used to help people with self-esteem issues because art is used purely for expression and the activities are non judgemental because there is no wrong or right. Using drawings and symbolism is a safe way to talk about yourself especially if there is a language barrier and children are unable to communicate.
As part of this lecture we did a few drawing tasks, we drew a sun, moon, tree and a drawing of anything that we wanted to draw. It was a fun task really simple and straight forward. Every single drawing was different it was interesting to see how different they all were even when we all used the same equipment it's a task that would be good for young children as it's fun and simple.
