Art and Healing
I have been studying art and healing for quite a while. It is utterly fascinating to me. Before knowing the science behind it I instinctively was drawn to practising art for therapeutic purposes. Last month I finished an Art and Healing course through Coursera. I love going down the rabbit hole of research on my own so there wasn't a lot that I learned through this course. There were a few nuggets that were not related to visual art. Dance, writing and music were discussed and I was glad to gain more knowledge in those areas. This week I took part in an Art & Healing workshop via Zoom. I was curious to know how it would be run. Well, poorly is how it was run. I was annoyed and disappointed. I did enjoy doing a page of circles in my art journal though. It isn't remarkable artwise but that is not the point. My art journal is a sacred space for me to create without concern for it to look good....
