New “Art Theratea” Combines Art Therapy & Tea, Improves Overall Health
A new product was released today that, if consumed, will improve your overall health. It combines the healing powers of art therapy with the replenishing properties of tea. It is called “Art Theratea” and the FTC has approved it for its mental and physical healing capability.
Have a rough day? Too late to schedule an appointment with your art therapist? Now you can get instant relief and begin the healing immediately by drinking Art Theratea. You can buy Art Theratea in packets or you can utilize the following easy-to-do recipe:
Begin with a tea pot. Add in one geranium. Add one orchid. Add one bonzai branch. Add some sage. Add some basil. Add a piece of bamboo stalk. Add the rarest flower from your general location. Add something colorful. Add hot water and boil. Pour your tea into a clear glass. Stare at your liquid art for about 3 minutes. When you’re ready, drink and begin feeling the healing power.

Check out this creative art video from Mike Barzman and Christian Swegal, called Pink Terror With Stephen Hawking. It contains bits of audio interview from Stephen Hawking and was shot at a very high frame per second rate to achieve the super slow motion effect. We think the Stephen Hawking addition adds a nice touch…see for yourself. What do you think? What ways could you use video as art therapy?

We thought these 2 finger paintings were pretty amazing and decided to share them with you. What’s cool about them is, that there were more than just 10 fingers painting on these canvases. We love seeing such large projects like this and throwing in the social awareness aspect makes it even better.
Over 30,000 fingers later:

Video Art: Running in Slow Motion Making Faces
This video is fantastic. Pretty sure it was created in Japan, but I’m not sure who made it. Regardless of who made it though, this video is so simple and yet so beautiful that I couldn’t help but share. Basically, it’s a mix of people running and making faces, then put in slow motion for your viewing pleasure. Sit back and enjoy

Check out this large animated flipbook by Italian artist Donato Sansone. It’s the biggest animated flipbook I’ve ever seen. Donato glued, folded, drew, and illustrated the whole thing…I have no idea how he remembered when and where to flip what, but I think it turned out pretty amazing…
