I have been working on the paintings for the past few weeks and it has been taking longer to finish one than I thought. I know they don't have to be perfect, but yet I seem to be pushing myself to make them look as close to the original as possible. It is somewhat stressful even though it is art. I realized that I enjoy art that I can create myself rather than copying something exactly. I wonder if the kids that had to do these squares worried about their square being perfect or if it was actually a therapeutic experience for them. Maybe if it did come out how they liked them it would have built confidence for them that they had accomplished something and it will be a part of the hospital. I suppose I am learning what kind of ways art is therapeutic for me and ways that it tends to be more stressful.
Maybe I will post a few pictures next blog... when I have a few more completed!
