On August 16, the Donetsk Regional Youth Center organized an art therapy master class “Drawing in a Shell” 🐚 for internally displaced youth in Vinnytsia.
During the event, participants got acquainted with art therapy practice, which helps reduce psychological stress, promotes self-expression and development of creative potential.
Drawing on natural material — real sea shells — gave an opportunity to concentrate attention, show creativity and at the same time feel inner relaxation. Aromatic oils were added to the process, which enhanced the relaxation effect.
Everyone created their own miniature composition: some chose seascapes with waves and sunsets, others — flowers or abstract patterns, putting personal thoughts and emotions into their works.
The creative process became not only visually beautiful for young people, but also therapeutic, as it helped restore emotional balance and find inspiration
