Paint More And Stress Less This Time Of Year!
Even those who are not artistically inclined can still benefit from artistic creation. Studies that examine the effects of art on stress and mood don't analyze the talent of the subjects or the quality of their creations—just the effects on how they feel afterward—and these effects are highly positive! So if you're looking for a great way to relieve stress, you may want to try delving into an art activity anyway.
Painting and stress-relief:
One of the main reasons that art therapy has proved to be successful is due to the accumulative effects of several well-known benefits associated with the act of painting. These benefits include self-care, distraction and flow: Self-care means taking care of yourself and taking part in activities, purely or partly, for the benefit or your own well-being. Art can help you discern feelings and express thoughts that are difficult to articulate. Engaging with the arts and creating something is a way of engaging with and being in relationship with yourself, helping you to know yourself better. The process of creating art opens channels of communication beyond those of the purely verbal, dissolving barriers caused by words or our own internal censors, helping us to see ourselves, and others, more fully and clearly. In so doing it connects us more deeply to ourselves and to each other. If you are working in class with other people the atmosphere becomes one in which there is a mutual give and take of ideas, and a spirit of generosity. The creative process helps to create new relationships and foster existing ones in a positive productive environment.
Wine and relaxation:
We all know about the benefits of a glass of wine, pertaining to stress, so why not pair it with a creative activity and have the two forms of relaxation, helping you to de-stress?!
Drinking wine is one of the most time-honored ways for disconnecting our brains at the end of the day; It calms the mind, temporarily, because it is a central nervous system depressant, relaxing your brainwaves and muscles, too.
So, come in for one of our classes and see what great effects it could have on you. Stop in on a weeknight and unwind from along day at work, as you switch gears from a strict schedule and dealing with stressful things, to allowing time for yourself and the freedom to be creative and do what you want. There are no rules to painting, in our opinion..
Sure, we’ll have one of our talented and helpful instructors, leading you though the painting of the evening, but it’s up to you to follow along or do your own thing. Thats the beauty of art: there’s no right or wrong, as it’s all about projecting your emotions and expressing yourself in your own way. Unleash your inner-artist and get in touch withy our creative side, free from judgment and right schedules, as you paint, drink, and have fun!
We hope to see you soon for a class at our studio whether you’re coming in, purely to relax and de-stress, or just to make some gorgeous artwork.
