Edith Kramer, the Mother of Art Therapy, was a pioneer in using art to help students with psychological disorders.
In one of our previous blogs, we featured Victor D’Amico, the man credited for establishing arts education as a nationwide subject. His determination to make art a fun and creative process truly changed the way we see art today.
Edith Kramer, like him, believed in the power of art and its ability to change and enrich the lives of people. In her own life, art had been an enormously positive influence, and Kramer wanted to use it to help people struggling with psychological disorders. Although Kramer was not the first person to bring art therapy to the forefront, her humanist approach set her apart from the rest.
In this article, we’ll continue to spotlight influential people in the art world by looking back at the life and work of Edith Kramer, the Mother of Art Therapy.
