Art Reflects Your Personality

Updated: Jun 24, 2021

Art reflects your personality and reflects the way you need to heal 

Where to start

Practice drawing patterns

Make a coloured pattern with felt tips or pencil crayons

Zen Drawings

Words

Think of any words that are meaningful to you, colour them in, write them down, draw images - whatever you would like to do.

I AM.............

Painting - splashing, dotting or smooth brush strokes.

Let yourself go and splash paint making on paper, or paint dots or swirls just relax.

I then used each of these backgrounds for creating pictures

In general doing something creative will help you become more mindful, which is ideal as it's believed that mindfulness can reduce anxiety, stress and depression.

Divide a sheet of paper into squares to create small pictures of words, zen drawings let your imagination wander.

In the words of Anne of Green Gables

"Looking forward to things is half the pleasure of them"

"Imagination is a wonderful thing"

When your spark has gone out, ignite it with someone else’s

My friend made a beautiful picture and I wanted to create my own version. It was a doodle drawing with watercolour or pencils.  

Just sit deep breath and let your hand flow over the paper, which colours are you attracted to today.

Make a collage

If you have any old magazines recycle them into a creative picture.  Cut out colours sections or images,  that you are attracted to and make a collage.
