When we were children, most of us were given artistic licence by our elders to sculpt something out of playdough, paint a picture using only our fingers, or draw using crayons and various other materials. As time passes however, we tend not to express ourselves through art as we once did in our youth, forgetting just how powerful the activity really is. Besides the random doodle on the side of a journal, most adults deem themselves 'bad' at creating art and don't believe its worth their time. However, this is untrue and there are still significant benefits that can be achieved through art, one of life's greatest stress relieving tools. Regardless of how artistically inclined an individual perceives themselves to be, the positives are there for everyone to enjoy. Art is often overlooked as so many fail to recognise just how valuable it can be and the way in which it can help them in life.
