Neurographica Workshop #1 (ONLINE)

Neurographic Art is an uncomplicated way to work with the subconscious mind through drawing. It transforms one’s stress and fear by drawing freeform lines and then later using a specific algorithm to transform the stress into a beautiful work of art. Neurographic Art combines art, art therapy, neuroscience, and psychology.

Join BIST and BIAYR for 3 Online Neurographica Sessions presented by Salima Andany, of PaintItOut!

Session #1 –  May 9th – Intro to Neurographic Art & Mindfulness

Neurographic art is a way of drawing that recreates the outer from the inner. The world is a reflection of the beliefs we hold. Neurographic Art promotes mindfulness and concentration, which can enhance cognitive functions over time. The process of creating this kind of art is far more important than how the final piece looks.
