The other day I became embroiled in a discussion with a friend regarding Art used for therapy, with the two us firmly seated on opposite sides of the debate regarding Art and its role in Psychoanalysis.
See, he was of the cockamamie opinion that it is the proper analysis of the art created by the person, as well as the person's choice of medium used for the creation, and the subject matter of the created artwork, that matters most.
I on the other hand held (and still hold) the well-researched and reasoned opinion that it is the actual creative process that is employed as well as the commitment of the person utilizing their mind, imagination and what have you to express themselves in an artistic manner that is what matters most.
To illustrate my point, I created a cartoon featuring him and his fatuous opinion being devoured by a large monster...which he promptly wadded up and threw in the trash.
My friend definitely needs to learn a more creative way to deal with his anger.
