Two popular remedies for easing minor psychological discomfort are mindfulness and virtual peer support. As a result, I've carried out an analysis contrasting these approaches, with the aim to uncover how art therapy can be transformed into a powerful treatment option. The texts in white background highlight their benefits over Art Therapy.

Reflection and next steps
Reflection and next steps
Reflections: This is an amazing experience! I decided to start this project when I feel like there's a need to artistically address mental health issues in people's normal life. I researched on compelling poems and illustration creation, designed the interfaces and experiences for the innovative and digital art therapy concept, prompted the generating instructions and coded the workable website with Javascript, css, html in React..
This is also my first project to explore the infinite generativity of machines. I created this in my Art and Machine learning course, when I kept thinking of what role machine will play in human life and how could we make use of AI generated content.
Next steps: In my case, the poems and illustrations generation speed and quality are two most challenging issues. In the future development, I expect to leverage machine learning techniques to predict how users’ feelings change and what kind of themes would most surprise them. I'm also actively seeking opportunities to bring this concept to life in this year!
