To see a world in a grain of sand,
And heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour.
– W. Blake
Who hasn’t marvelled at kids’ freedom and spontaneity? Art therapy nurtures their creativity and their sense of wonder. For them, there is no concept, no intellectual representation – just the surprise and awe of seeing the form appear, through drawing, painting, clay work, and land art.
Encouraging kids to express themselves freely, artistically of otherwise, has proven to boost their self-confidence and self-esteem. Art making stimulates their concentration and attention to colours, details, and shapes. By encouraging their progress, they feel valued and nourished by their achievements.
