Review by Library Journal Review

Part self-help, part guided meditation, and part art instruction, this book is an antidote for people who are stressed-out and tech-obsessed. Schweiger, founder of The Art Studio NY, believes all people are capable of expressing themselves artistically and that being creative is good for everyone in many ways. Readers can get their hands messy as they work along with 15 step-by-step crafty projects. A variety of media is covered, with bright colors, text, and collage elements strongly favored. Each simple project also includes a brief essay on topics such as the nature of creativity, the role emotions play in art, ways to calm anxiety, and issues of perfectionism, observation, and seeing. VERDICT This DIY art therapy handbook delivers delightful activities and strategies to improve well-being to artists of all skill levels. © Copyright 2017.
