Doing Arts When You Are Free
Time
Whenever you feel like it, try making it a weekend project
Tools
A canvas or a piece of paper, acrylic paints and paint brushes
What To Do
Paint anything that you like on a blank canvas or a piece of blank paper. Use all sorts of acrylic paints to colour everything to your heart’s content. You can follow Youtube videos regarding art instructions and let your creativity flow.
What Does It Do
Every stroke of the paint brush and splashes of colour against the blank canvas or blank paper represents your creativity. Let your mind run wild and paint according to what you fancy. When you are focussed with painting, it will keep you calm and relaxed. It will also help you to take your mind off the voices.
How I Feel After Doing It
I find doing art projects are a great coping mechanism for managing the voices. Not only do I get to express myself freely as an artist in the long run, but I also get to admire my art pieces and feel a sense of accomplishment. Every positive art pieces should be admired and placed within my home. Although I’m still a beginner at this, I hope to churn out better art works. My dream is to have my art pieces displayed at an art gallery one day.
