Overcoming Anxiety Through Art

Overcoming Anxiety Through Art

While the discipline of art may have been around for years, this year may be the year we need it the most. Through paint marks on the floor to running out of paint brushes, art brings out our most creative side; a side you might not normally show everyone else. With all the stress we have built up over this past year, it's time to take the day off and take out all those old art supplies. Light up some candles, pour yourself some tea, and let your art skills take the wheel. This course is created for those who are struggling with anxiety and seek some supplementary activities to help feel a sense of calm. Its goal is to guide participants in helping them to calm/find inner peace, to encourage their self-expression and to increase their self-awareness. It is also a good addition to the professional toolbox of any art therapist looking to broaden their art activities repertoire. Similarly, parents searching for some calm, creative activities for their children will find this course useful in times of the pandemic scare. This course is built around 8 art projects, each of them allowing participants to express themselves while discovering a newfound sense of enjoyment and self- awareness. These meditative and calming activities can contribute to enhancing self-esteem while reducing the nervousness, and irritability. After course completion, participants are expected to complete the same activities on their own. This course is suitable for all ages and experience levels. Most importantly, we want to enjoy ourselves while enhancing our knowledge on this creatively therapeutic journey!
