Art Therapy in Bangalore - a Conversation with Brother Mani. Part - 1

Is art for artists? Or can anyone paint?

Art isn’t about beautiful paintings or vases it is a personal expression.

You don’t have to be an artist to be an art therapist or to be a participant in art therapy.

The post modern idea that art need not be restricted to a canvas or have perfection is what drives art therapy.

I met Brother Mani a few months back when he was conducting a workshop on art therapy. Brother Mani is an art therapist

This is an interview where Brother Mani speaks about how art therapy can be transformative and therapeutic.

Here's as link to the interview
