Daily Affirmation

I embrace all sides of myself, and allow them to be expressed through my art.

Ugly is Beautiful

This is a liberating aspect of art therapy. You don’t have to be good, or experienced. You only need to be soulfully open.

The goal of art therapy is not to create a beautiful piece of art for public display. It is to privately express what your ego has restricted you from expressing. And often, this is aethetically diverse.

If you can allow yourself to feel safe to put something ugly or different on the paper, it will truly allow you to develop and heal.

Have you made some “ugly” art and if so, what feelings did it evoke in you both during and afterwards?
