My Project

Practicing art as a family can offer benefits in overall well-being and self-care.

The art process can help families strengthen their bond and better appreciate each other’s varied perspectives.

It also encourages the family’s creative thinking skills and stimulates the family’s identity as a team. This in turn can help with mental health care and well-being for the family.

The creative expression through the therapeutic art process allows the family to gain new insight about themselves and each other. It fosters creative thinking and is a healthy creative outlet and coping mechanism for the family while allowing the family to connect. It empowers children with confidence and reinforces the building of optimism, resiliency and strength in the family. Art brings the family together to talk, laugh, learn, share ideas and create.

Creating art together as a family aids in teaching problem-solving skills, self-love and appreciation. Parents can utilize art as a confidence-building tool for their kids because there is no right or wrong way to create art. It is calming and is a fun, healthy activity to do as a family.
