Which art material should you choose? The thing is, not all materials are same. Not all materials are suitable for everybody. Let’s explore the therapeutic value of art materials. Art therapists intentionally choose materials based on their qualities and what best suits the persons' needs/goals. So let’s learn about the therapeutic value of the two common art mediums we could use: colored pencils and watercolor paint and why you want to choose OR avoid them.
- What you’ll learn in this episode:
- The therapeutic qualities of colored pencils and watercolor
- The materials' psychological and emotional effects and why you would want to use or NOT use that specific material.
- How art therapists see art mediums
-
What to choose if you’re looking for more expression vs more structure

Welcome to the first mini episode of the year 2019! If you’re having any feelings of insecurity, today’s guide will help you find that sense of security, grounding, and nurturing you are needing. For this exercise, you may need to get outside to gather materials - but it will take only a short amount of time, probably only in your front yard/neighborhood park. But the exercise is awesome & fun, so you’ll get a lot out of it. (And please excuse my different than normal voice - just fighting off my cold!)

Fifth Episode is all about stresssss ⚡️⚡️ Thirsty for Art will strive to focus on more mental well-being + art, so this will be a little shift from the past few episodes. In terms of our topic today: We all have with it in some way or form to different degrees. It’s inevitable. So how do we all deal with it? Where does it actually stem from? How come modern life is almost synonymous with chronic stress? We discuss this in detail and get into how art and expression is connected to all of this.

Third episode of Thirsty for Art Podcast 💖 Today’s episode is about dealing with that pressure to find “your style” when you make art. Do you feel like your art is everywhere and you want to have a unique and consistent feel, but never seem to find it? Do you feel like your art is lacking uniqueness? Why do we have this idea that we need a “style” in art? Let’s delve deeper into this belief, because it’s actually limiting our expression and stopping us from making art!

Second episode of Thirsty for Art Podcast 💖 Today’s episode is a “mini episode” that’s shorter than a regular episode because it’s a guided art exercise. It’s going to take you step by step on an art making journey so that you can make something even when you feel unsure about what to make or even when you’re not sure whether to make something at all. If you’re feeling unsure, this is for you. Try it at your own home by yourself (wearing pjs if you’re like me 😅) and use this to continue your creative art routine!
