All art is good and therapudic

I wrote this on the fledgling Flickr group called ART, THERAPY, PSYCHOANALISYS AND AESTHETICS
I think the very process of creating something is healthy. The connection of your mind directing your hands to make something, anything, allows your subconcious an outlet (other than just dreams!).
You can perhaps see an example in graphitti, that is often portrayed as just vandalism, gang tags or a result of ‘frustration’ or hopelessness etc. I’m not necessarily talking about the brilliant stuff, the artists who have the bravery to go large on trains and walls but the other stuff too. The signatures on mailboxes, the names carved in rocks and trees -the things you might have done when you were young and perhaps ‘grew out of’.
The idea of you changing your world, adding organic lines to ‘boring’ spaces and often spontaniously using creativity where society frowns upon it is healthy in my opinion, it shows you in a small way that things can change and that you are an agent of change and that is an empowering feeling.
