Did you know that many consider art making as a way to relax, calm down and clear the
mind—similar to meditation?
so much research has been done on the impact of being engaged in the creative process
and mental and physical health. Art has been used as a tool by therapists to support their
clients and by individuals to express themselves creatively and to gain more insight about
their life situations. Over the last two decades researchers and clinicians have explored the
effectiveness of non-traditional creative/expressive therapies on heart health and reducing
PTSD symptoms. (http://www.artandhealing.org/initiative/ptsd). There are now programs
such as the Social Emotional Arts (SEA), to empower artists and educators to develop
expressive arts curriculum in order to manage behavior and improve emotional well-being
of youth and adults. (See Social Emotional Arts from UCLArts and Healing, which is an
organizational member of the UCLA Collaborative Centers for Integrative Medicine. https://
www.uclartsandhealing.net)
As an artist, art educator, and SEA certified practitioner, and one who experiences the
benefits of being creative first hand, I am fully incorporating expressive arts into workshops
and healing sessions I offer. This gives me an opportunity to support others to engage in
the creative process, to express themselves freely, clear and calm their mind. It is an easy
and inexpensive way to integrate creativity in one’s life rather than suffer physical impact of
bottled up emotions later.
Creativity As A Healing Practice

Creativity: One Day At A Time
Over the years, creativity and most specifically painting has been a personal passion. Dur-
ing those times when “life” did not allow me to be engaged in the creative process, I felt the
impact of it on my whole being; being in pain, short tempered, anxious, and just not being
able to fully enjoy “life.” Art making is a process that takes me beyond this world and allows
me to be in the moment. When engaged in the creative process, I do not feel the passage of
time—I am not hungry, thirsty or tired. My mind becomes completely clear. In many cases
these are the times that I get flashes of ideas on something that I had tried to resolved with
no success.
Through this download, I though to share some projects so others can also experience the
creative process to calm and clear their mind. The trick here is to understand that there is no
right or wrong way of doing any of these exercises. If something is not drawn the way you
would have liked it to, make it into something else. Remember it is about the process and
not the product. The way I have written each exercise is to do them for thirty days and then
assemble them together. If you would like to do each for one day only, it is your choice.

Instructions
• Go through your junk drawer and find different material and items that you have
not used for a while. Attach them together and see what kind of creature you can
make. As an incentive of meeting deadlines, I use to give my students a small box
that contained just a few items, such as a couple buttons, wire, yarn, etc… Every
time they would amaze me with what they could come up with. I hung them all as
mobiles for all of us to enjoy.
Examples here are taken from Pinterest and more complicated than what I had in mind.

Material:
• Go for a walk and collect 30 or so river rocks (I like the ones that are about 2-3”)
• Acrylic paints and brushes
Instructions:
• With a pencil draw a design on each rock
• Choose three different colors and start painting
• Hint: add white to your colors to get them lighter (this is called tinting the color).
This gives you more color options.
Here is an example from the book From Ordinary to Extraordinary by Ken Vieth. I did
this project as team building exercise with my students and they loved it.

• Isolate the image/part of the image by tearing off the extra paper around the

the composition interesting)
