Art is a powerful way to communicate. For thousands of years, it has influenced people, inspiring the imagination, telling stories, recording history and stirring emotions. In the traditional understanding of art making the activity is usually directed towards a goal — the end product.

At some point in life, many people find themselves overwhelmed by the intensity of their problems and emotions which are difficult to face by themselves. People feel the need to express their feelings, not just for enjoyment, but to identify and deal with problems.
