Abstract
Research has found that participating in an artistic activity can reduce clinical and nonclinical levels of stress. Unfortunately, many schools have chosen to cut art programs due to financial restraints and policy changes. By taking away opportunities for students to learn about art and participate in the creation of art using different mediums, students could be losing the chance to develop healthy coping mechanisms to deal with every day stress. This study looked at the effect that completing nine coloring assignments over the course of three weeks, compared to a control group who viewed videos, had on non-clinical levels of reported stress in 55 students who attended a small liberal arts college in Southeastern Ohio.
