How Does The Power of Arts Therapy | Laurence Vandenborre | TEDxLASALLE Work?

Imagine you're playing with your favorite toys and suddenly feel better, that’s arts therapy, like a fun game that helps your brain and heart feel happy again.

Laurence Vandenborre, the person talking in the video, shows how drawing, painting, or even just making cool art can help people who are feeling sad, stressed, or confused. It's like when you're upset at school and then you draw a silly picture, poof, your bad mood goes away!

Think of your brain as a busy playground. Sometimes it gets too crowded with worries and feelings. Arts therapy is like giving the playground a big, fun slide, everyone can go down and feel relaxed.

When you make art, you're not just coloring or drawing. You're talking to your brain in a new language, one that uses colors, shapes, and lines instead of words. That helps you understand what's going on inside you, like solving a puzzle with crayons!

So next time you feel stuck, try making art, it might just be the best toy you’ve ever had! Imagine you're playing with your favorite toys and suddenly feel better, that’s arts therapy, like a fun game that helps your brain and heart feel happy again.
