Curated Crafts With The Sober Curator: Fun With Photobrick By Building Long Lasting Memories With This 4,000+ Piece Lego Masterpiece
Photobrick turns legos into artwork! This company helps to capture your life journey, your memories, your emotions through photos. They came up with an innovative design to capture your good stories, connect with them and pass them on brick by brick. Do you love legos? Then this lego paint by numbers hybrid might be just exactly the fun DIY project you were looking for.
Trying out new craft projects has been one way to pass time in 2020 and we are here for it! Art therapy improves the mental health of people who are dealing with addictions, anxiety, attention disorders, grief and loss, dementia, depression, eating disorders, physical illness, PTSD, trauma, relationship issues and much more. We learned that we like to keep our hands busy and our creative minds stimulated.
Since we aren’t experts, we’ve curated a few links to articles that back up the science between art therapy and the healing process.
Harvard Medical School – The healing power of art
Psychology Today – Art Therapy
Oxford Treatment Center – Using Art Therapy to Treat Addiction
Crisis Prevention Institute: Art Therapy, An Effective Addiction Treatment Method

Sober Curator Pro Tips:
Make sure whatever photo you choose doesn’t have too much detail – as that will get lost once the photo is changed to a pixelated grid.
Gather up some tupperware to divide out all of the tiny lego colors
