Creating art is good for the mind and soul
Art and design can be good for the mind and soul. It allows us to express ourselves in a way that words can't and can also be used as a way to block out the noise of the outside world... at least for an hour of two a week.
This term why not take a few hours to yourself to do something you enjoy, get your creative juices flowing and improve your wellbeing.

Art is naturally an experience with mindfulness. Within the activity of drawing for example, by giving attention to the way you're standing/sitting, you can generate greater physical ease and reduce tensions that naturally arises during activity.
