Creating art is a wonderful experience that instantly provides us with many therapeutic benefits.

Creating art provides an environment in which we can face our fears and control our anxieties.

Deep rooted issues can emerge through the art we create.  Simply identifying these issues dramatically reduces any negative impact they may be having on our lives.

There are also therapeutic properties associated with using art materials, for example paints, colouring pencils, crayons, charcoal, clay, fabrics etc.  Using various art materials provides sensory stimulation.

Some of the activities in this section include, creating your very own vision board and spontaneous image diary.

A great stress reliever is the scribble drawing to unwind, a simple exercise but very effective in realising calm.

Affirmation cards are a brilliant way of reminding you how great you are.

Write yourself a love letter, is a cool exercise for identifying and recognising your unique positives.

Writing your pain a letter, is a very cathartic exercise for addressing many issues.

Learn to look at yourself positively by painting a self portrait.

Our inner and outer self is a very thought provoking exercise for understanding why we act a certain way with different people.

Create a self soothing images folder that you can look through whenever you need comforting.

Section three begins with an introduction into these more traditional methods of creating and enjoying art.

Exercises in this section include:

Mandalas (Sanskrit word meaning circle) are beautiful designs that are so much fun to create and colour.
