Children love creating art. They do it intuitively, just pouring their imagination out with any medium they are given. It’s pure fun for them, nothing else. But for us adults, things are different. We care very much about the results, we have certain expectations, and when we fail, we feel bad. And why would we do something that makes us feel bad? So we stop creating at all, to avoid unnecessary pain.

But art can still be a great source of fun! Instead of inducing stress, it can relieve it; instead of making you depressed, it can give you confidence and a sense of success. You only need to become a child again, just in your mind and just for a moment. You can use art as a form of really affordable therapy, adjusted to your personal needs.
