First, the article describes the fundamentals of vision and perception and how they are used in different fields, emphasizing the importance of visual arts in psychotherapy. Second, the article explores the relationship between the state of mind flow and creativity, noting that the state of mind flow contributes to creativity and allows individuals to better focus on problem-solving and idea generation. Finally, the article introduces the basic concepts of art therapy and its positive impact on mental health and recovery, including reducing stress, aiding in trauma recovery, and improving cognitive functioning. In conclusion, integrating these three themes contributes to designing more humane and appealing work, improving the quality of products and services, enhancing user experience, and promoting user satisfaction and social integration.
