has expressed itself through art. But more important, every person has put thoughts and emotions into an art form.
Art is a personal and satisfying activity at any age, for although the arts are responsible for greater awareness
of the external world, it is also the arts that give vent to the emotions, the joys and fears of life."
- Creative and Mental Growth by V Lowenfeld & WL Brittain.
