- Painting is one of humanity's oldest creative practices. In recent decades, there has been an increasing amount of scientific evidence on the use of such practices in the promotion of physical and psychological health. In the field of public health, painting has proven an effective and efficient resource for maintaining or improving human wellbeing. The first publication of its kind, this latest instalment in the Arts for Health series presents painting as a healing tool for all ages. Offering practical tips for how the health benefits of painting can be accessed through individual and home practice as well as through community events such as workshops, Saavedra, Arias-Sánchez and Rodrìguez-Gómez delve into the myriad of benefits that painting can provide. Easily digestible for interested general readers, as well as for busy health and social care practitioners looking to enhance care environments, Painting serves as a succinct, engaging, and informative guide on how this creative practice can help improve or maintain health and wellbeing, both within and outside of professional settings.
