A Glimpse Into Art Therapy...

What color is your heart today? 

This is a question you could be asked by an Art Therapist in the beginning of a session. 

To show what color your heart is, you will be given a large piece of paper and chalk or oil pastels. Oil and chalk pastels are expressive mediums that produce the most vivid of colors, and allow for a lot of blending and layering. 

This prompt has the ability to help you connect with your current emotional state, and further explore your feelings. Through the artwork you create, it could be easier to talk through your emotions.
