A quote from my daughter, probably 5 years ago when she was 9, sums it up perfectly. "Mom, drawing helps me get out of my outer body and in to my inner body." As a lifelong artist myself, I told her I couldn't have put it better myself.
Art Therapy is brilliant.....I've been working as a Transpersonal Art therapist for the past 12 or so years with great success with my clients. I can honestly say that for me, Art has saved my life.....art has been a thread throughout my entire life and I am truly grateful for that.........................and being an artist is not a prerequisite what so ever....that is not the point at all as you pointed out....
@@URchrostiano - good question - it is a years-long degree to study it properly and you must already have some basic training in some of the required skills. The video is really rather superficial.
"Art washes away from the soul, the dusts of everyday life." That hit me, I'm just 18 and since I was a kid, I'm an art enthusiast, and I want to share how art help me cope with life. Thank you!
It makes me sad thinking about how everyone of them put their mom or dad really close to the center and I know I wouldn't put my parents on the painting at all. I feel really sad about my life and childhood after watching your videos.
Luka3012941 I know....parents aren't perfect because there Human...and flawed like us...it's ok to feel that way...your past doesn't define your future....so be happy because you have the power to make your future bright 😊
I can relate to you I wouldn't put my parents at all in the center as well. From what I learned it's best to take care and respect yourself do what you can to make it better for yourself now. Not always easy one step at a time.
I'm sorry that's the case in your life, same with mine, have you thought about doing this sort of thing and just seeing/feeling where you want to put the colours
I must point out the potential positive effect of the art therapist supporting and connecting with the painters. And, the benefit of the make up artist's attention pampering them before hand, and the camera operators focusing on them, etc. Art is amazing, but so is human attention.
Amy Hautman Bates I agree, but there's a possible negative effect for that when it comes to introverted people or those with social anxiety. Even so, I guess that'd be a minority.
I have been struggling with depression for many years. There are 4 people/things that have helped me with this journey, God(Jesus Christ ) he talks about watching what and how we think about and what we focus on, art and being creative (I did something positive with my time ) BTW sharing The art as random gifts gives the person and me a great feeling . Good friends and family (or people who care for real), and exercise if your doctor says you can.
It's a viscous circle , into giving them repeative roles of keep drawling. time eaters. He could be working on his finances, career and relationship. Instead of keep talking about his relationship problems to theapist everyday art itself a trigger. 🤔
Hi! Do you think creating things like handmade cards, coloring stamped images or other kind of crafts can be considered art too? I'm convinced crafting is such a good tool for mental health, it has personally helped me out of mental illness, but I don't know if it can also be considered art therapy or not.
There is often argument about whether something is art or craft with craft seeming to represent something less valuable to many. I on the other hand dont feel the labels or strict adherence to formal definitions is necessary.. creative pursuit is creative pursuit and vital for one’s well being. Separating creative pursuits to me is like saying a painting that is a photographic representation is are but an abstract painting is not. Go ahead and enjoy ykur card making- i do, and it is a necessary aspect of my wellbeing!
Hi I think any kind of creativity is a form of art like you creating cards and crafts is like drawing a picture but not on a paper but from your hands. You are designing something.I cope with my mental health through cooking,I tried art but I failed. But somehow the world of culinary made me calm and it was theraputic.I become happy when somebody enjoys the meals I make. Like that way whoever is watching you create something will be happy and it will bring you a smile also.🥰🥰
Of course! Art is just making something that wasn’t there before. Crafting and creating is not only GOOD for mental health, it is ESSENTIAL for mental health :)
Julian and the crew of Soul Pancake and all the people working on this "The Science of Happiness" project, Thank you! You guys are like my online best friends who cheer me up at the hardest times. Thank you a lot for making these videos, you guys have no idea, how much it means to me. Love you all
I can never watch an episode of Science of Happiness without crying... Ohmygosh.. I love this. Art really does make you happy. That's why so many do it when they're depressed, makes them feel better.
The woman breaking down about how much she loves her grandma and their connection to art warms me up. I get that same way thinking about doing puzzles with mine❤
I've been making art for as long as i can remember. It's my number one love. I wish all people at least doodled sometimes...it really is like meditation and good for self observation
I am happy that you guys did this. I just bumped into it and what a happy accident (pun intended). I particularly like the "science of gratitude" video. I want your jobs! What a cool series. Keep servin' up awesome, griddle-fresh, Soul Pancakes!
So love this. Sharing with my peeps! I have taught art for many years, and although I am not a "Therapist," I've witnessed so many examples of souls laid bare from just making some art.
This channel is my total favorite! But I must stop watching it at work. Seriously. People pass by and see me tearing up. They must think I'm emotionally unstable! LOL. Little do they know, you keep me sane and happy, Soul Pancake!
art is just one escape for your mind out of many things,could be reading , gaming,hunting, or whatever time alone a person needs...from normal life....as you get older you find yourself harder pressed to do the things that make you relax most
I always fall into a different set of mind whenever I am drawing or painting. I encourage everybody else to try something artistic. =) The only rule is not to be afraid to fail. There is no failing in art
This makes me so happy! I love you, SoulPancake, for taking the time to do something like this. Art is such a powerful thing, and everyone should make more of it!!!
I am dance therapist and did art therapy for years. Now I am sick and I do dance therapy and art therapy on myself That is works! It is a really interesting method to be on both side of a therapeutic relation! Self help therapy
Art is making something that wasn’t there before. If you doodle on a piece of paper that’s art, if you make a 10m sculpture that’s art, if you sing, dance or cook that’s art. Art is in our blood and we don’t need to fear it. I am an artist helping guide people into a creativity they are comfortable with, in my case watercolour and pencil painting, and my channel is doing well as people discover the value of just doing it. No judgment, just make something.
I love your work Julian!... your videos are sooooo great and touching! I feel blessed whenever I watch one. My granddaughter and I love to paint and draw together... Thank you for sharing such tremendously beautiful thoughts!
Hang in there bud. High School is hard but eventually it ends. My son was bullied in high school and got in trouble when he'd finally had enough and pushed the bully's head onto his desk. He is now 21 and will soon be made a shift supervisor at his work. And he's happy and creative. Get a notebook and some colored pencils and start drawing and writing things that you'd like to have in your life...including peace at school. The universe will find a way for good things to come to you. Hugs.
This is fascinating! It is touching to see how art and paintings helps with expression and guide oneself into their inner thinking which they might have not noticed, and the process leads to increasing happiness. Would it be possible to have the list of testing happiness level at the beginning of the video? It would help so much on understanding more deeply about the experiment. Thanks in advance.
I know first hand that art works. I use my illustrative creativity to create two illustrations a day which inspire me and inspire others. I post them throughout social media. The creativity makes me happy, the bonus is it makes others happy too. Curious? Just Google What my Coffee says to me or What my Tea says to me. Cheers SoulPancake great video!
I couldn't do that exercise. After getting my degree in art, the perfectionist in me wouldn't let me attempt working with a figure that was drawn around me like that. Not after 4 years of being drilled to draw from observation and look at the relationship between figure and ground as well as the shapes our form creates. But I hope it's helping other people.
Soul pancake I love what ya do. I love the science of happiness videos. My only question. Everyone I see in these videos looks confident and happy. What happiness if you take people who are unhappy and use them? How do you apply a happiness to life when you can't seem to find it?
I use art to make mr happy all the time . If im bored or sad or angry I pick up a paintbrush or pencil and just go for it. I never like the outcome but whilst im doing it.. im happy.
I tried clicking on the book icon to get redirected to the source of the study and it didn't work. What exactly is the name of the study and how can I get more info? Also, where can I get the questionnaire? (I am an AT student and want to know more)
Congrats !! Yvonne that’s is an amazing story , right now I’m struggling with my path career from Quality are I want to jump to writter and design, is not easy but your story inspires me
Hey guys, Great video. Very interesting and cool. Great to see the people become so happy so easily. That study link doesn't seem to work for me. Can you post a link please? Thanks, Kevin.
Once the art theapist realize his diagnosis. Give him a task goal. Then Tell him his triggers, then I he must implement and put them strategies into action. It's a viscous circle , into giving them repeative roles of keep drawling. When the client do this. It handicaps him more of being time eaters. He could be working on his finines, career and relationship. Instead of keep talking about his relationship problem to theapist everyday or have the art itself as a trigger. 🤔That's where they fail at as a therapist. This is where stagmi comes into existence. As a life coach my goal is to break stigmas that's from therapist doctors, family and friends.
Could the increase in happiness be caused by simply doing something as fun as painting? If yes, then that might be the main reason for that increase in happiness. But I still think that what you're doing is amazing, love you guys.
YES!!!! Love this! We just released an episode on the healing power of art (generally), and appreciate your specific approach on the topic. Science is fun!! But science and art....funner....lol :) Thank you for sharing this.

So beautiful 😍
Aww, so sweet and true!! A smart girl
There's something seriously profound about making art during the best and worst times of your life. Something ppl are only scratching the surface on.
Art Therapy is brilliant.....I've been working as a Transpersonal Art therapist for the past 12 or so years with great success with my clients. I can honestly say that for me, Art has saved my life.....art has been a thread throughout my entire life and I am truly grateful for that.........................and being an artist is not a prerequisite what so ever....that is not the point at all as you pointed out....
Wow 😍 and what about the degree in art therapy?

I hope your journey is successful!!!
I'm so happy for you!!

You’re not alone. My parents are extremely proud people, and it’s not easy having them as parents. Not all parents are like the ones in the video.
I'm sorry that's the case in your life, same with mine, have you thought about doing this sort of thing and just seeing/feeling where you want to put the colours
I can relate..but another angle to see it is you will be stronger because of it.
I wanna be an art therapist
Hope your dream comes true!
Did you become one?😀
@@KQuinn672 I didn't pass VCE year 12. Wasn't smart or motivated enough.
So no. It's all good tho, I am finding happiness elsewhere.
Poison Pumpkin wish you the best😀

The therapists validating and supportive energy feels so good to observe ~
Guy: do i smell good?
Other guys: *whispers* fantastic
haha xD
i loved that part too.
Love this! Art is a powerful force. Especially when working with the emotions of clients.

I'm training to be an art therapist right now, and yea, it's pretty amazing what art can do for people! Love that Picasso quote
I can never watch an episode of Science of Happiness without crying... Ohmygosh..
I love this. Art really does make you happy. That's why so many do it when they're depressed, makes them feel better.
I find Art Therapy both inspirational and amazing. It should be something that all hospitals offer their patients.
does any one else notice that guy sounds exactly like adam lavine and kinda looks like him 0.o
thought it was him for a second
Sierra Baxley 1st thing I thought too! Haha... Funny...
Its the guy from buzzfeed. He left a while ago
even he sounds like Adam, isn't he?
Why you making me cry like this. This was amazing.
The woman breaking down about how much she loves her grandma and their connection to art warms me up. I get that same way thinking about doing puzzles with mine❤
I've been making art for as long as i can remember. It's my number one love. I wish all people at least doodled sometimes...it really is like meditation and good for self observation
My fiancé and I took part in a session of art therapy last week. Was pretty intense and enlightening.
These vids are honestly the best thing on youtube right now. So positive and happy, but earnest also. Makes them stand out in this world. :)
I am happy that you guys did this. I just bumped into it and what a happy accident (pun intended). I particularly like the "science of gratitude" video. I want your jobs! What a cool series. Keep servin' up awesome, griddle-fresh, Soul Pancakes!

Yeah he couldn't have a girlfriend as a kid. Who does lol
+Riley Gmx I always think about that too
Lol ikr
As a future Art Educator it really warms my heart to watch this! Thank you SoulPancake!

Honestly I'm really depressed a lot, but RUclips is one of the things that ALWAYS makes me happy. It's like my medicine.
I always fall into a different set of mind whenever I am drawing or painting. I encourage everybody else to try something artistic. =) The only rule is not to be afraid to fail. There is no failing in art
This makes me so happy! I love you, SoulPancake, for taking the time to do something like this. Art is such a powerful thing, and everyone should make more of it!!!
I like Julian. He should be in more soul pancake stuff. He's adorable and awesome.
colors resonate to me in a powerful manner. I am also very imaginative which goes hand in hand... nice video.
Highly confidential talk have been filmed.
I am dance therapist and did art therapy for years. Now I am sick and I do dance therapy and art therapy on myself
That is works! It is a really interesting method to be on both side of a therapeutic relation! Self help therapy
So sorry,I'm gonna have to watch it again 'cause I was completely in love for Pamela's smile.

I freaking love this series of videos! SoulPancake, you always make me smile.
I started drawing after a bad breakup and it actually helps you cope
You filled out some questions when you did this, and so did the others. Can you upload those on here too? Really interested in that part
With every new video I love SoulPancake more.
Such a powerful video. I really enjoyed the interaction. I'm just starting off with my own art therapy channel. Thank you for being so inspiring.
Aw, thank you! We love you!

This helped me with my final year dissertation! Thank you guys, fingers crossed for a high mark!
I live on art. It is the only thing that helps me through each day....
And... It's an awesome project. Can't wait to put some more art in my life.
This is beautiful. I wish I'd persuade art further in school in order to become an art therapist.
Drawing and coloring puts you in a state of creativity and inspiration! Try Neurographica to see for yourdelf
right, I didn't see it before but now I did. Thank you.
Wonderful content about the healing power of the arts. Thanks for sharing.
This is awesome! Are you able to share the assessment tool you used to evaluate participant's happiness levels?
My brother absolutly need this!
hey my intended major for college this coming fall! (was watching vids on your channel and clicked this as fast as I saw it)
SoulPancake, you always bring a smile to my face :)
Congrats !! Yvonne that’s is an amazing story , right now I’m struggling with my path career from Quality are I want to jump to writter and design, is not easy but your story inspires me
