Art therapy course and art education share some similarities as both use a large range of art mediums, however, art therapy’s aim is not the mastery of art techniques, but rather to use of abstract images to portray one’s feelings. As art therapy does not focus on creating a perfect, polished final work, it is not subjected to art critique by the art instructors.
