In people's heart, there is a desire for “loving someone” and “wanting to be needed.” The need for “Love” is necessary for people, and “love” also has healing power. Because the companionship of the dog, the author transformed the love of the family’s death into that of animals. Through observation and self-recognition, the author thought that the relationship between people and animals that is gradually sprouting is even more different from the past. Therefore, we expect to use the author's personal experience to arouse people’s collective experience of animals and stimulate their love and care for animals by the artwork. We attempt to paint animals with ink and wash, through the so-called “empathy” out of aesthetics of creation, to resort to artistic creation to give viewers resonance, and thus create a sense of pleasure from the spiritual repression.

The thesis is divided into two sections in the second chapter, which offers the theoretical basis for our research. Firstly, it uses “emotional brain” as the main body to discuss the psychology and needs of human healing and their application. Secondly, animal-based therapy and its healing function are used as examples to illustrate the local agencies having actually applied this approach and received good feedback. Finally, we further explore the evolution of animal-to-human relationships from paintings.

In the third chapter, which presents the theme of animal art therapy, the artist's paintings, their subject matter, and their techniques of expression as well as the color and psychology of healing are analyzed from the perspective of color science. The data collection in the first three chapters, image analysis, and absorption and digestion are to be applied to the painting creation of the author.

The achievement and gains of this creative thesis might be summed up about like this：

1.In the process of creation, by observing the animal's modeling and sketching, the mood is pleasant and it really feels “healed”.

2.In addition to self-healing or animal modeling, color, etc., the concept of more caring and friendly animals, it wants to emphasize is mutual respect between humans and animals is emphasized.

3.Art is not just a matter of visual enjoyment. Art's influence on society can also lead to more resonance in society through art.

In the future, the subject will continue to be created and it is hoped that viewers will be able to resonate and exert greater influence.
