Description
Drawing has been a fundamental part of human expression and communication throughout history. From ancient cave walls to modern-day digital screens, drawings have played a vital role in describing science, depicting emotions, and discovering new ideas.
This book gathers research evidence to demonstrate the substantial value of drawing for health, healthcare, and improving wellbeing. It showcases how drawing can be a low-cost, low-tech, and flexible process that is easily tailored to individuals, families, and professionals.
By incorporating drawing into your life, you can benefit both your mental and physical health. Drawing can help record observations, make visual notes, invite the telling of important stories, improve stress and anxiety, express feelings, and explain complexities. This book encourages readers to enjoy mark-making once again and learn that thinking through drawing is a powerful life skill that enriches health and wellbeing.
