You don’t have to be “into makeup” to understand beauty. If you’ve ever changed your look just to feel different, you already get it.

Jungian Art Therapy

Jung really believed in the power of art. He said that dreams can be used to help his patients move forward if they are feeling stagnant in their lives. Man needs to have fantasies because it is the feminine creative potential of his masculine spirit. He believes in helping people explore their fantasies. “Many of my more advanced patients, then, begin to paint. I can well understand that everyone will consider this as an utterly futile sort of dilettantism. However, it must be remembered that we are speaking not of people who have still to prove their social usefulness, but of those who can no longer find significance in their value to society, and who have come upon the deeper and more dangerous question of the meaning of their individual lives. To be a particle in a mass has meaning and charm only for the man who has not yet advanced to that stage, but none for the man who has experienced it to satiety. The importance of individual life may always be denied by the “ educator ” whose pride it is to breed mass-men. But any other person will sooner or later be driven to find this meaning for himself. Although from time to time my patients produce artistically beautiful creations which might very well be shown in modern “ art ” exhibitions, I nevertheless treat them as wholly worthless according to the tests of serious art.”

“In the childish condition described above, the patient remains in a passive state ; but now he begins to play an active part. At first he puts on paper what has come to him in fantasy, and thereby gives it the status of a deliberate act. He not only talks about it, but he is actually doing something about it. Psychologically speaking, it is one thing for a person to have an interesting con conversation with his doctor twice a week—the results of which hang somewhere or other in mid-air—and quite another thing to struggle for hours at a time with refractory brush and colours, and to produce in the end something which, at its face value, is perfectly senseless.” Its so interesting how he places art on a level that transcends its monetary value, that art should be valued in the traditional sense, but in the sense that is helps unlock the unconscious of the person creating it, to help the person find meaning in their lives. I find this incredibly interesting.
