This chapter will look into the interplay between, and therapeutic effect of, art and wellbeing.

Section 1:

The first section includes a TED video on dancing's effects on the brain, an article about how engaging with art benefits mental and physical health, an audio recording about how a former soldier healed his PTSD with the aid of art therapy, and article extracts about a small controversy over curating museum exhibits with mental health in mind. Each of these resources is followed by a comprehension quiz. You need to complete the different activities in the first section in order (from 1 to 4). Once you have finished an activity, the next one will open up. (The approximate study time is indicated for each activity.)
