About self-expression through art
Self-expression through art is grounds to convey ideas and emotions that we may not have the words for and find difficult to articulate, rather than focusing on the aesthetic values of the final product. By expressing one’s feelings, art is effective in reducing anxiety and promoting self-esteem as a form of therapy. Set aside any preconceived notions of creating art and take risks in the creative process because after all, the only “failure” is not trying in the first place!
