The purpose of our project in the form of a drawing is to represent the life of Janie Mae Crawford. The image of the world shaped like a heart has both a light side and a dark side. In general, the world is in the shape of a heart to show how Janie views her world: completely involved in the concept of love. Janie, constantly encompassed within goals of finding and understanding love, views the world as a giant melting pot of love, and all she has to do is travel the planet to find it. The light side of the planet demonstrates her hopes and dreams of finding her true love, searching for it with optimism and joy in believing that her love is out there somewhere, and it will satisfy her. However, the shaded, dark side of the planet represents

According to an article published by the US National Library of Medicine/National Institutes of Health, there is also a connection between art, healing, and public health.

In contrast, a physical healing environment is carefully constructed and organized. Employees are trained caregivers who are knowledgeable in interacting with patients and families so as to help them cope with their concerns or grief. The environment, by its design, is a strong means of establishing a spiritual relationship through an engagement of all five senses. By choosing colors appropriately, for example, desired effects in human behavior are promoted and psychological systems established - the color green indicates healing, nurturing and conditional love, a symbol of growth (Stefanidakis, 2001). This is because color has the ability to induce emotional responses such as irritability, cheerfulness, or peacefulness. Further, by creating the interior of the hospital in a manner that resembles, even slightly, a church or a temple, providing religious artifacts, say rosary beads, spirituality can be promoted. A patient’s sense of control over their environment must be kindled (e.g., lighting and temperature) so that stress relief may occur.

As J.R.R. Tolkien once wrote in his book The Return Of The King, “All your words are but to say: you are a woman, and your part is in the house. But when the men have died in battle and honour, you have leave to be burned in the house, for the men will need it no more.” For thousands of years within stories and real life the job of the woman has been to stay within the house, do jobs like cooking, cleaning and taking care of and raising the children. The men on the other hand hunt for food, fight in the military, and complete the impossible and aspire to do more, such as changing the earth on a molecular level and create towering structures to reach the stars and above. It has only been in the past one hundred years that women have had

Adults who color often call themselves colorists, and while coloring may not be curing any serious diseases, it 's helping people cope with various issues in their lives. Therapists have often used art therapy as a way to provide therapy in conjuction with talking about problems. When people cannot put their anguish or depression into words, they 've been asked to express themselves through art. When a person considers themselves bad at art, they aren 't able to get the benefits that others might get from using art therapy as a tool. With coloring, there 's no special talent needed. Everyone can color between the lines to get the benefits of stress relief.

When considering this the color of the environment plays a big part of the healing environment. The use of chromotherapy, color healing, is essential when considering a healing environment. Green is considered the universal color for healing (Stefanidakis, 2001). Using colors appropriately in the hospital environment can encourage emotional responses to enhance healing. If the incorrect colors are utilized the patient may present with symptoms of irritability instead of peacefulness or cheerfulness which could inhibit healing. Furthermore, the hospitals interior plays a major role in the healing process. Spirituality will be promoted if the interior reflects the hint of a religious atmosphere such as exercising specific religious artifacts spirituality will be promoted. Hospitals can also incorporate unrestricted visiting, decorative fountains, fireplaces, skylights and healing gardens to help provide a relaxing environment which decreases stress for their customer population.

Within our body, color acts as an active power influencing our state of mind. The colors are used like a medicine to heal. Color therapy can be used to cure diseases such as stress, fatigue, depression, high blood pressure, diabetes, anxiety, and many more. The type of therapy is a natural way of healing illnesses and one would think it’s a unique way of performing therapy. The history of color therapy came from Ancient Egypt.

For the purpose of this assignment, my group embers and I decided upon researching the pseudoscience of crystal healing. The idea, or practice of using crystals to better one’s life and wellbeing is not a necessarily new type of alternative medicine. In fact, instances of this practice have been found in many ancient civilizations throughout the world including places such as Greece and Egypt.

* Using familiar and culturally relevant materials wherever consistent with sanitation and other functional needs. Using cheerful and varied colors and textures, keeping in mind that some colors are inappropriate and can interfere with provider assessments of patients' pallor and skin tones, disorient older or impaired patients, or agitate patients and staff, particularly some psychiatric patients (WBDG, 2010).

In their research paper Crawford et al (2012) argue that clinicians often rely on colour choice within drawings to make inferences about the psychological functioning, without much empirical evidence to support such associations. They therefore aimed to investigate the relation of colour preferences and colour use in clinical and non-clinical contexts, to test the validity of interpretations made by clinicians.
