We come to see drawing not as a type of play, but as a craft or skill - one that we can do either well or not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut to see drawing in this way is to deny ourselves one of life's great pleasures, one with profound psychological benefits. By allowing us to express ourselves creatively, and capture our thoughts and ideas on paper, drawing can be a form of therapy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDrawing as Therapy\u003c\/i\u003e is a collection of playful, creative prompts and exercises that introduce us to the curative powers of drawing. Divided into eight chapters, they invite us to reflect on different aspects of our life and psyche - our personality, moods, memories and passions - by attempting to render them through art. Through art, you can discover hidden byways of our minds, find new perspectives on our difficulties, summon a state of calm, and begin a process of self-recovery and healing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe exercises won't teach you how to draw. Instead, they will teach you an entirely new way of thinking about drawing, where there is no such thing as failure or success, only self-discovery and, in the best sense, play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eINSPIRATIONAL\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ethis inspirational guide prompts us to express ourselves creatively and use artistic expression as a form of emotional release.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNO ONE IS WATCHING\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ethe point is not to draw well, but to draw with authenticity, no matter your level of artistic ability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e80 DRAWING EXERCISES\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003esurprising, innovative, like SARK but with a British soul...\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e8 UNIQUE THEMES\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSelf, Mood, Memory, Play, Love, Calm, Perspective \u0026amp; Re-enchantment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDRAWING AS THERAPY\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003edraws from psychological theories by Adrian Hill, Edward Adamson and Donald Winnicott.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eGIFT\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003ebeautifully produced, premium gift format.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSOLVE PROBLEMS AS YOU DRAW\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ewith research-backed therapeutic prompts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.
