Harmony and balance \u2013 main goal of creation as art therapy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To regain harmony, balance and self-fulfillment, many people are trying to find simple ways to cure their stresses and change the rushed lifestyle in nowadays unforgiving world. The most healing, as well as most accessible path is using creation as art therapy. You don\u2019t have to be an artist to find huge satisfaction, calmness and feeling whole again since creation of art, painting, drawing, sketch is already art therapy. If you never tried, maybe you should do that right now while it\u2019s cold and not that great outdoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The healing potential of creation as art therapy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The healing aspect of creation is based on the idea that it involves mind, soul, emotions, feelings, activation of memory pathways, harmonizing movements of hand with brush or pencil, thus, stimulating self-expression, intuition and getting in contact with person\u2019s inner self. All of that gives us a chance to free ourselves from never ending stresses, being in competition with everybody else, and getting rid of emotional blocks. The other aspects of creation of art are ability to focus, improvement of memory and decision making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Relaxing creativity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creation as art therapy involves fantastic relaxing potential. Especially, if you prefer using color as the main feature in art. The colors we feel as ours, disclose the subconscious state of our mind and lead to transforming experience. Creation of art involves all of our brain processes, and that manifests as a healing effect and feeling of inner balance. Participation in art classes is one way to facilitate the creativity and learn how to implement it in our life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Power of colors<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each color possesses unique energy which affects us. Working with colors releases different energies. For painting, we usually go either with color of our subject and reference, or choose it intuitively which is what I do most often. Choice of color can be frequently subconscious \u2013 we feel attracted to some colors and avoid using others. The same goes for subjects which we feel are ours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blue and green \u2013 colors of life and harmony<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blue color calms and facilitates peacefulness decreasing stress and anxiety. Look at the blue sky, which represents endless calm. We surely can paint sky and water as blue as we want. Green color symbolizes the energy of nature, harmony and balance, healing and increasing the feeling of the inner calm. Green color means life and renewal, just like in spring everything comes back to life. Green is dominant in nature during spring and summer, it\u2019s the most healing color, the best art therapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orange and red for passion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orange color is the color of enthusiasm, living energy and creative intentions, it gives us vitality, helping to open our mind to new ideas. Red color activates our energy, power and passion, especially passion to live and create. Red color also can be a manifestation of subdued emotions and inner restlessness. I have rarely used only red, orange or yellow, but these colors are very essential for fall landscapes where they are represented in abundance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yellow for joy, purple for magic<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yellow color is associated with joy, self-awareness, mental clarity, it facilitates positive attitude and perception. Yellow brightens our space and sparkles up feeling of pleasure in our mind. Having different shades of good quality yellow paint is absolutely crucial for any painting. Purple is color of spirituality, intuition and depth of soul. Color of mystery and magic. I have rarely used purple as a dominant color, but it\u2019s useful for softening green. Purple has its place in art therapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

White and black<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

White means clarity and purity, new beginnings. White is unavoidable in art. We need to brighten and lighten other colors, and pure white is very important for watercolor and acrylic painting. Black color represents completeness and strongly indicates value, shape and form in art. I don\u2019t use black color in watercolor at all, but as a mixing component in acrylic. Strong indication of values is important in any painting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Painting, creating and using colors<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we create a painting, we rarely use paint straight from the tube. It\u2019s important our painting has light and dark values and warm and cold colors. Therefore, most often it is a mix of colors and different shades. Yet, the overall impression usually shows a tendency towards some particular color palette, like I love combining all kinds of green with blue, white and yellow. Fresh and uplifting, at the same time, emotionally loaded and peaceful. Fall paintings have numerous red, orange, yellow and mixed shades. Saturated colors, warm, bright and vibrant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Different preferences<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have written before about my grey and subdued color periods, as well as blue, green and red. Over time, the perception of color becomes very refined. The color choice usually reflects the mood of that time. Grey looks fantastic in art. Sometimes less color makes painting much better. However, there are seasons when I feel I need the brightness, the strong, bold colors. Nobody says we have to stick to something one. In art, we experiment, explore and test. Time spent painting becomes meditation and art therapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
