self-expression through the media creativity is an effective strategy to
preserve psychological health and prevent media traumas. The development of
media art therapy is a natural part of the postmodern art therapy development

media consumers “exit” from the “passive consumers” roles. Media art therapy
creates the environment that helps to express the accumulated feelings
including those from the interaction with media, thus it helps to prevent media
traumatism and expand the level of personal media culture. The application
experience of media art therapy (namely, the creation of plasticine cartoons)
proved the capability of the method to overcome the psycho traumatism
consequences to solve the conflicts and could be used to support the
peacebuilding initiatives by sharing the content on Internet.
