A single drawing alone canot be enough to asses a clients feelings,we need a series of Drawings/art works in order for the therapist to be able to attend to his her clients.Examples of art used to easily impliment the art therapy intervention are Painting,Clay modelling,Drawing,Printing etc.

  We have various kinds of art therapies like Family,individual and group therapies.In Uganda,Art therapy is not so much valued since few people know about it and yet there is high need for this kind of intervention as a remedy to situations Uganda is going through i.e War,HIV/AIDS Stigima where most people display symptoms of Post traumatic Stress Disorders.

   I work more with the War affected.I have been working with War affected Children since 2007.They go through alot after their experiences in the bush,most of them have lost both their parents,relatives,brothers,sisters and friends these have left them helpless,lost hope.They go through nightmares,Visual hullicanations,Bad dreams,physical reactions like tachchardia,Sweating,trouble falling or staying asleep,Isolation and so on.

   I went through Makerere University to study Art for 3 years and i got a B.FA degree and later picked interest in Art therapy because i felt this could be the only way of helping and givingback to my people.I come from Northern Uganda and i know more about what they have been through though due to the same war,we had to immigrate to Eastern Uganda because rebels wanted to kill my mother and i was also abducted for 2 hours.
