So just HOW does ART contribute to healing?:
It is a fact now known by neurophysiologists that ART and the process of creating art changes a person’s physiology and attitude. Physicians and hospitals are now increasing their use of professional art therapists for their patients, noting a more positive result and quicker recovery time. It literally speeds up the healing process!
Doing art can put a person into a different brain wave pattern which is deeply connected to areas of feeling, meaning, imagination, and inspiration centering on creative, more regenerating energy flows through the body. The body’s physiology changes from one of stress, fear, and apprehension to one of deep relaxation by going into what is sometimes called the Right Brain; the part of the brain which deals with cognitive function of deciphering line, shape, and space.
The practices of creating art through drawing and painting can have an impact on every cell in the body to create a healing internal environment that changes the immune system and aids in blood flow to all the organs. As a person continues to increase in their drawing and painting skills, they can positively affect their autonomic nervous system, their hormonal balance and their brain neurotransmitters. Art can immediately change an attitude, emotional state, and pain perception. It can instill hope, positivity, and helps people cope with difficulties. Its restoring practice can transform a person's outlook and perception of their world.

Some people believe artists possess a magical gift or talent that comes with
them from birth. The truth is most good artists have had to work diligently to
achieve their high skill level much in the same way someone would learn
to master a foreign language or a musical instrument. It takes practice!
Learning to draw is really about learning to see. Anyone with real desire and
basic eye-hand coordination can learn to draw/paint and with practice
can improve dramatically. Beginners welcomed!
