Expressional Art 

How does creating art help mentally heal?

Activities that are tactile and activate our senses, like clay or painting, help relax our body. Creating provides a distraction from our thoughts or provides an alternate outlet to express them. The average person has 60,000 thoughts a day, that can be a lot to hold in your mind.

At perceptual art, we want to help ease your mind with creating. The lead Expressive Art Certified teacher will guide you, or a group starting with a prompt and incorporating DBT skills. You will have time to create while being mindful of thoughts and current emotions. If in a group setting you will have a chance to explore your art with the rest of the group.
