    Abstract
    Art therapy involves most of ones, five sense. It involves, vision, touch, smell, and hearing. In addition it involves interactions with others and muscle movement. These things make art therapy very different from other types of therapy such as psychotherapy. This creates different resulting outcomes and also causes different neurological responses in the brain than other types of therapy. This study will show how art therapy differs from other therapies and exemplify affects of art therapy outcomes.
