Art Therapy

Promoting Emotional and

Physical Well-being
What is Art Theraphy?
Art therapy involves the use of
creative techniques
such as drawing, painting, collage,
coloring, or sculpting to help
people express themselves
artistically and examine the
psychological and emotional
undertones in their art.
 1. Art Relieves Stress

Drawing, sculpting, painting, etc.

are great ways to lower your
overall stress levels and make
you feel much better mentally.
Essentially, it provides a
distraction that will give your brain
a much-needed break from all of
your usual ways of thinking.
2. Art Helps To Encourage
Creative Thinking
As opposed to math, art doesn't
require any kind of a correct
answer. Instead, you can come
up with your own type of solution
and further stimulate your brain
with this type of creative
thinking.
2. Art Helps To Encourage
Creative Thinking
This is especially the case since
you will be able to use both
hemispheres of your brain.
3. Art Helps To Boost Self-Esteem and
Offer a Sense of Accomplishment
Similar to hanging a
child's artwork
somewhere can boost
their self-esteem and
sense of
accomplishment,
doing the same with your
own artwork can create
the same type of effect.
4. Art Encourages Brain Activity
Whenever you engage in any
kind of a new activity, your brain
begins working to create
connections between all of your
different brain cells.
In terms of creating art, this
helps to stimulate all sorts of
connections between various
portions of your brain itself.
5. Art Improves the Overall
Quality of Life

Art has been shown to

enhance factors such as
memory and cognitive
abilities
