    Art therapy is increasingly popular amongst those looking for personal and creative development, and those who just want a way to relax and express themselves. Exercises include expressive mark-making, creating an animal design, painting a dreamscape, drawing and coloring a nature mandala and a self-portrait. Readers are taught to focus on the beneficial process of making art, making it a relaxing and colorful experience, and not worrying about the final result.
