"Drawing, painting, or moulding objects from clay has been scientifically proven to help people to deal with different kinds of trauma, and can even help people 'express experiences that are too difficult to put into words—such as a diagnosis of cancer.'" https://t.co/awPdMoY2gd
According to the American #ArtTherapy Association, artistic expression may decrease anxiety, feelings of anger, and depression. This creative process can also enhance cognitive abilities, foster greater self-awareness, and regulate emotions. https://t.co/uYvuZTrBif #arts#health
Patients had less pain and anxiety, and healed faster after procedures in hospitals that incorporated art. Public art motivates them to leave their rooms and engage, establishing hopeful expectations about treatment, and improving mood and stress. #health https://t.co/vriTPsovBD

Surgeon, and pianist, Christian Theodor Billroth suggested art and science complement each other. "After a high level of technical skill is achieved, science and art coalesce in esthetics, plasticity and form. The greatest scientists are artists as well.” https://t.co/vILvmvtJNT
Creating art can validate the uniqueness of an individual, which gives rise to a sense of accomplishment and to feelings of self-worth. Arts support a sense of social identity and can encourage goal-directed behaviour and enhance social resilience. https://t.co/FL7jWfofi1 #artsed
