It is widely acknowledged that creating art - no matter the form - is good for you. Art creation helps reduce stress levels through mindful engagement. It increases creative thinking by stimulating neural pathways. The practice boosts brain plasticity, which is the brain's ability to form new connections. Additionally, completing artistic projects improves self-esteem through accomplishment. Art serves as an amazing outlet for our clients, and we are so happy to share the story and some of the artwork of one of our clients, Bonnie.
It is no surprise that Tuesdays are Bonnie's favourite day of the week. Every Tuesday she takes a shopping trip to the local Dollarama store to pick up a new set of colouring books. Her favourite subjects to colour are Disney princesses, which feature characters like Belle, Ariel, and Cinderella.
Bonnie takes great pride in her artwork, making sure to sign each one of her completed pieces with her name. Some of her colourings are remarkable in their attention to detail and colour choices. Her artwork garners a tonne of appreciation from her peers, as well as the Entrust support team. On top of Bonnie's love of creating art, the often solitary activity has actually resulted in her socializing more within the group setting. The shared appreciation for her work has opened new conversations and connections.
We love your artwork Bonnie and are so proud of everything you have achieved through your artistic dedication. Keep it up!
