The basis of Art Therapy is established on the idea that people can recover and feel better via artistic expression.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is increasing evidence in rehabilitation medicine and the field of neuroscience that art enhances brain function by impacting brain wave patterns, emotions and the nervous system. Art can also raise serotonin levels. These benefits don't just come from making art, they also occur by experiencing art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs an Art Facilitator, I have thoroughly tested all the activities in this book over many years and with a variety of people. Many activities are structured to encourage team work, problem solving and communication as well as individual creativity in a relaxed, social environment. I was always surprised and impressed at the results.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile each activity focuses on one of the main categories (brain, senses, memory, teamwork and loss) all of them involve a number of skills. The results can be different with each new group and even when presented to the same group again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 184\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 11 x 8.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 29, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51776193265952,"sku":"9781039177048","price":38.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/a0f0f5ab52f19c601c5915180c6e22c6.webp?v=1780474309","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/art-therapy-activities-for-all-ages-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
