Art therapy is a way for people to express their thoughts and feelings through making art. It's like when you use crayons or paints to make a picture, but with art therapy, you can draw or paint whatever you want, even if it might not look like a normal picture. The art therapist is there to help you understand what your art is communicating about your feelings and to help you work through any problems or challenges you might be facing. It's like using art to talk about your feelings instead of using words. It can be a really helpful and fun way to express yourself and work through your emotions.
