Great exercises but no ART!!!
Enjoyed the exercises but no guidance on expressing through art. As a mandala instructor I will add the images in my workshops. Otherwise, good content!
Rachele –
Get it!
If you are interested in art therapy, or art in general, this is a great book. Lots of different mediums described. Lots of ideas I use this book for work in a behavioral health space, but I’ve enjoyed it so much I am gifting it as well
