INTRODUCTION

The art therapy center 'COLOUR YOUR WORLD' is located at 40 George Square in Edinburgh. As a medium for personal expression and creative enlightenment, the visual arts of painting, drawing and sculpture, particularly, are seen as innovative experiences through a poetic lens. The project helps people who are depressed because of stress to achieve a sense of well-being by encouraging them to release tension through immersive experiences in art exhibitions and to express themselves and open their hearts through art-making while attending various art workshops. No one can be happy all the time, there will always be moments of sadness that have nowhere to be expressed. Art can heal the heart and release stress. 'COLOUR YOUR WORLD' welcomes happiness to everyone who comes along.

At the same time, the project has helped to revitalize and refresh the cold Fauvist building 40 George Square by adding art, colour and creative elements, making 40 George Square reusable again.
