In the video provided in this module, Art Therapy: Healing Trauma From: Art Therapy: A Universal Language for Healing.[OR1] [Video File] [5 min 34 sec] (link is below), IkukoAcosta of New York University refers to art therapy as "a universal language." Drawing from this video, the module reading, and two additional academic sources from the Excelsior Library, discuss this idea in relation to the arts (drawing, painting, sculpture, and/or music) and provide an example of any program for adults that employs such therapy.
What do you think Acosta means when she says art therapy is a "universal language"? Can you find any research that speaks to the effectiveness of art therapy? What are some of the rationales for art therapy programs? If possible, share some testimonials or examples from your research.
