Madonna said it best: Express yourself.
“Everyone is creative in their own way; it is just how one expresses it”, said Tarri Driver, an art therapist and counselor, who works with high school students in Middle Tennessee. Driver defines creativity as creating or expressing one’s self or ideas.
“Teens who are creative can express themselves without talking,” she said. “They also use their medium as a mirror to reflect on themselves personally. It also helps to build skills like leadership and communications which are huge advantages for creative teens.”
