“Creativity is Intelligence having fun.”
— Albert Einstein.
I decided to study art therapy as I wanted to help people express themselves who find it hard to verbalise what they are thinking and feeling. I have empathy for people who might struggle to communicate verbally having learning difficulties myself. I have always used art as a way of expressing myself and it has come naturally to me. Art has healing benefits which I would like to explore more. I enjoy collecting research through real life experiential learning, visiting exhibitions, exploring different cultures, photography, my own art making, reading about new theory and by using my intuition to guide the way. I will be exploring many different ideas and theories during my time at the university, I am particularly interested in Jung’s ideas on synchronicity, symbolism, the archetypes and the collective unconscious.
