Neurographic Art
Neurographic art is a therapeutic art form that combines science and art to create a meditative experience that can help students reduce stress and gain perspective. The process involves drawing freeform lines, also known as “neuro lines,” smoothing out the intersections, and filling in the spaces with text, zentangles and doodles.
