From sketching to paper mache—art is one of the best ways to relieve stress, express feelings, and open your mind. Even if you’ve never considered yourself artistic, there are plenty of exciting ways to get into it. Here are four of them.
Free Doodling
Grab a pen and some paper and get your doodle on. Draw shapes, faces, or whatever comes to mind, and don’t worry about making it perfect—go with the flow and see where it takes you.
Coloring Books
Who says coloring books are just for kids? Treat yourself to an adult coloring book filled with intricate designs and patterns. Grab your favorite markers or colored pencils and go to town.
Mixed Media
Experiment with different materials, from magazines to fabric scraps. Once you’ve gathered some stuff, glue, paint, and create unique collages. They’ll be one-of-a-kind masterpieces that reflect your personality and style.
Paint and Sip
One of the coolest ways to get into art is by attending a paint-and-sip class with friends. Socialize, enjoy your favorite drinks, and follow along with a professional instructor to guide you through the painting process. Zero experience necessary.
