Art therapy offers a variety of exclusive forms of self healing - like finger painting. Drawing directly with hands is suitable for children and adults, this gives the feeling not only to control the situation, but also the feeling of a real revival. New birth, inspired by the explosion of colors and the tactile sensations provoking directly senses.

Here again, as in all other forms of art therapy - the impulse of the artist is fundamental, the need to export his art through the art his inner world that would otherwise remain hidden. Art therapy and here uses the language of visual and plastic expression. The value is in the ability of man to show emotions and feelings when words can not express them. For most children precisely non-verbal expression is the way to show us what happens to them.

The paint is applied directly to the hand and fingers of a child, in order to achieve visual effects and to cause an emotional renovation. And if the child is too small, the practice does not require the development of a global motor coordination. The movements of the fingers and hands are not important, important is the leading impulse. Drawing with fingers and palms does not defies the standard templates. Children are encouraged to express themselves in this new, "spotted" and so cheerful way. So, this kind of creating images is a natural projection of the child's personality.

Finger painting is provocative technique and never leaves the child indifferent. This non-standard situation, the special tactile sensations and the extraordinary expression of the image are always accompanied with emotional reaction that can have a wide range and has always restorative nature.
