cool new art therapy blog
**Update: Learn about art therapy education, recommend a school in your state and catch up with art therapy news on twitter & facebook.
Came across a pretty cool blog on BlogCatalog. Thought I’d share it with you…Art therapy is an idea that’s been gaining some steam over the last few years. It’s been proven to be a valuable therapy for many things including but not limited to depression, cancer, post traumatic stress disorders, regular ‘ol stress, and even a new way to self-discovery. Read more about what art therapy is and who uses it.
The author describes the blog as an “online brainstorm” for art therapy. There’s some great posts on different art therapy activities and art therapy ideas, including information on how to do various collages, such as animal collage art or a jungle animal collage, using art therapy for self-exploration, and various self-portrait activities.
Anyhow, I was pretty excited because I can live a pretty stressful life at times and I like doing art, whether it be writing, photography, or other forms. Anyhow, now I have a great excuse to do it and hopefull a site that might provide some inspiration! If only it had some more pictures….hopefully they’ll add some soon! Still worth checking out if you like art or need to release some stress through creativity…which I think many of us could benefit from 
Thank you for the information. Your short post was the real art therapy out of itself. While promoting other, you participate yourself in sharing the light of love. That’s the main. I am going to check that blog. My Modus Vivendi blog is dedicated to people of art therapy club. I am sharing there the wonderful pictures from the hospital for mentally ill. Please visit us.

You don’t find there any reasoning, but will see the flowers that are striving to break through the silence. Your comments may help us greatly. Thank you once more. I will greatly appreciate all
thanks tomas. very cool site. i recommend others to it as well.
thanks for the tip!
I encourage readers to consult with the American Art Therapy Association, the official web site for the profession of art therapy at http://www.arttherapy.org/about.html as well as the Art Therapy Credentials Board at atcb.org. Their mission: To protect the public by promoting the competent and ethical practice of art therapy. These two sites provide the official definition of the profession, as well as explain the education, training and credentialing process to carry the title of Art Therapist Registered and Art Therapist Board Certified.
what about people who just want to practice art on their own? Art can be “healing” without going to an art therapist you know.
Thanks for posting about art therapy. As an art therapist and artist, I agree that the creation of art is healing. I appreciate the plug for art therapy.
Agreed…thanks for promoting art therapy!
Thanks Jimmy and Carol!
