John Dewey was an American philosopher, psychologist, and educational reformer best known for his work in developing pragmatism and progressive education. Dewey describes art’s ability to communicate without the use of words. This quality is one of the most beneficial aspects of art therapy in that it enables people to engage in the therapeutic practice without needing to find the words to describe their experiences.

Henry Ward Beecher was a 19th-century American clergyman, social reformer, and abolitionist known for his powerful sermons and outspoken advocacy for the abolition of slavery. Like many other quotes about creativity, this quote from Beecher emphasizes the personal aspects of painting and art.

The quote also recognizes that the final art product is often a close reflection of the creator. By reflecting on your artwork, you can gain insights about yourself that can help you begin to heal.

Thomas Merton was an American Trappist monk, writer, theologian, and poet known for his contemplative spirituality and works on social justice, nonviolence, and interfaith dialogue. Merton’s quote is a unique insight that highlights art’s ability to be a source for exploration and discovery, as well as an opportunity to become immersed in the spiritual aspect of creation.

Pablo Picasso is one of the world’s best-known artists, famous for inventing the radical art style known as Cubism and pushing the limits of expression through art. This statement about art reminds us that art is a lofty pursuit, but it is intrinsically interconnected with the human spirit. In the context of recovery, participating in art therapy does not require prior experience in art making; all you’ll need is the willingness to be open to the power of art to transform and heal.
