Art Therapy Basics for Self-Care

Description

Simple art activities can help you pause and notice how you feel, and this course gives fourteen of them a place in a self-care routine. It begins with an introduction and a look at how you currently feel, then helps you set up a personal art space.

Lessons cover colour for emotional expression, mindful drawing and doodling, collage, art journaling for daily check-ins and working with clay and texture to ease stress. Later lessons help you create an emotional barometer, assemble a self-care art kit and build a routine you can sustain. The PDFs include many exercises and a few templates. The material is for personal use and does not replace professional care. After reading, you should have a set of activities you can return to.

Who it is for: adults who want to use creative activities as part of their self-care, with no art experience needed.
