I deeply and strongly believe in that called "art therapy." Souls can be healed by taking part in creative release through painting, drawing, sculpting, molding, creating, shredding, gluing, and feeling. Art is soothing, and lets you say what you want to in a variety of ways. If you want to get a statement out there, you can do it bluntly, and in a straightforward way, or if you want to hide some deeper meaning in a painting that only you will understand, that is fine too. Art can be whatever you want it to be. Some things can't be said with words because it is either too personal, or controversial, or maybe it is a feeling or emotion that is beyond words, that is what art is all about. However, art can just be "pretty" or "interesting" as well, but the unconscious is always at work in everything we do. So even if you think that pointless little doodle in your notebook is just a random drawing, chances are it says A LOT more than, "I was bored in class." The way you shade something, the subject you use, the colors involved, and everything else, tells something about you and what you were feeling and thinking. So next time, take a second look at that drawing and see if you can find the deeper meaning.
