mediums is a plain reality. But once this is given,

said about the phase of artistic creation. The

an expressive process, and something more is
required for expression than for the artist to make
something.

personal desires, thoughts, feelings, needs or
expectations, achievements are most rewarding and
self-esteem is enhanced. Research shows that when
people have the ability to discover and articulate who
they are, they develop trust that translates into
achievement, both in adolescence and in adulthood.
