“I am a Work of Art”
Submissions from Middle School and High School Students
Every child is a work of art.
In 2017 the American Art Therapy Association, collaborating with Office of Head Start and Youth M.O.V.E. National, sent out a call for art and an invitation to young artists to show how they took these words to heart: “I am a work of art.” Gathering hundreds of submissions, we created this digital exhibition to celebrate the important role of art and creativity in mental health, wellness, and social-emotional well-being for our children, youth, and young adults.

The artwork tries to portray some of the myriad capacities “ART” has. It tries to explain how art can be a form of expression and help the mind attain peace, relaxation, and a higher connection with Self. It also depicts that Art is a Universal Language, and thus beyond all bounds.
