Two Dimensional artwork or 2D is a category that encompasses a variety of process, This form of creation is often flat, think of mediums like: photography, painting, drawing (from pen and ink to charcoal). We covered print making processes previously, but it could also be considered a form of 2D art making. 2D is often how we first start to learn to express ourselves and connect with the creative. Imagine perhaps using crayons and paper or the wall, when you were a child. Their are countless applications for 2D artmaking and this is often the area we are most comfortable with as I have stated we have been curiously engaging in 2D art our whole lives. When integrating this into therapeutic work may be the first thing we connect with together. I may engage you in showing me something you doodle when on the phone, or ask you to choose a medium that you feel most comfortable with. This type of familiarity often gives us comfort and an ability to explore things with a little more control especially with pencil. Paint however is a 2D process that is a little less easy to control and this gives us great room to emote and abstract our thoughts into feelings.
