By using Art in a therapidic way we can bypasses the mind's natural defenses and create direct path to the "real issues". This can include the so called "dark side" of the psyche or "shadow" this is more easily expressed in art then verbal communication.Our shadow can cause us internal conflict as we are often unaware it even exisits and often see it reflected back to ourselves in other people.

The experience of a life threatening illness or other traumatic life events can leave a person feeling overwhelmed, sometimes speechless. For those who find it difficult to verbalize problems or emotional experiences, art making can assist a person to communicate in images rather than words.

Every human being has a body and a personality, the latter being expressed through emotions
With the development of civilization we need to
develop our bodies, consequently our posture, which has been found to be a particularly powerful tool
in both expressing and recognizing emotion.

The role of this kind of physical activity is to make people conscious of their bodies. They learn
to understand their bodies, to release tension, and to freely express emotion through movement. Such
forms of expression are lost in contemporary civilization. These activities are beneficial, especially
nowadays when we have to face serious problems in our everyday life.

Frida Kahlo de Rivera (Spanish pronunciation: 'fɾiða 'kalo born Magdalena Carmen Frieda Kahlo y Calderón; July 6, 1907 – July 13, 1954) was a Mexican painter, born in Coyoacán, who is best known for her self-portraits. Kahlo's life began and ended in Mexico City, in her home known as the Blue House. She gave her birth date as July 7, 1910, but her birth certificate shows July 6, 1907. Kahlo had allegedly wanted the year of her birth to coincide with the year of the beginning of the Mexican revolution so that her life would begin with the birth of modern Mexico. Her work has been celebrated in Mexico as emblematic of national and indigenous tradition, and by feminists for its uncompromising depiction of the female experience and form.[7] Mexican culture and Amerindian cultural tradition are important in her work, which has been sometimes characterized as Naïve art or folk art.[8] Her work has also been described as "surrealist", and in 1938 André Breton, principal initiator of the surrealist movement, described Kahlo's art as a "ribbon around a bomb".[7] Kahlo had a volatile marriage with the famous Mexican artist Diego Rivera. She suffered lifelong health problems. Many of her health problems were the result of a traffic accident she survived as a teenager. Recovering from her injuries isolated her from other people and this isolation influenced her works, many of which are self-portraits of one sort or another. Kahlo suggested, "I paint myself because I am so often alone and because I am the subject I know best."[9] She also stated, "I was born a bitch. I was born a painter."
