​
What does art therapy do to the brain?
Art allows people to enter a “flow state,” or that feeling when you're in the zone and lose sense of yourself and of time. Making art can help you be more present, and it activates a variety of networks, including relaxed reflective state, focused attention, and pleasure.
​
Is art therapy good for mental health?
It can help to boost confidence and make us feel more engaged and resilient. Besides these benefits, art engagement also alleviates anxiety, depression and stress.

What is hypnosis in art?
How does hypnosis and art work together? Whether you realize it or not whenever you draw, doodle, paint, or sculpt you are entering a hypnotic state. By the sheer act of focused creation your breathing slows down, you achieve a deep state of relaxation and your perception of time becomes temporarily distorted.
