Yesterday for the first time I made an neurographic art. I had a problem that seemed impossible to fix. As I drew my art I felt a relief of irritation and anger, I felt hopeful by the end. Within an hour the problem got resolved in a way it blew my mind! It was a pure miracle! I'm definitely going to get more deeper into that stuff.

I can remember doing this as a young child if I could find a pen or pencil and a piece of scrap paper. It was a traumatic time. I know now one of the reasons I was able to cope. It's always been able to scribble doodle etc that's helped through my life. I'm now 65. ♥️

I am 62 years old. I went to a Catholic school growing up. Sister Kathleen in 3rd grade (way back then in the 1960's), had us create this EXACT work of art. Amazing things come back again and again.

I watched this video 3 years ago and started creating freeform neurographic drawings. I posted some of my neurographic drawings on my YouTube page for others to see the results. Thank you for sharing this informative tutorial. ☮️

I’ve done a version of this with my siblings when I was a kid and as a parent with my kids. We would take turns adding doodles and color. It’s a very meditative way to spend time with each other. Now I’m going to do it with intention 💜

I honestly didn’t want this video to end. Have been thinking about going into Art and after watching this video, I believe I can start from here. Thanks a lot

2/22/24..Wow/ sooo much enjoyed my 1st time viewing your very well organized creative art YouTube video today. Neurographic art & another..Enpusse (?), a combo of (thin) copper & colored matt material where 'free form' geometric & non-geometric forms + 'floating' free-form lines, shapes are drawn then both the copper art 3D 'pushed & pulled' centered on the matt with various lines/shapes are color blended was just Great! Am 78 yrs (young) & cant wait to show my grand kids. [We did bunch of Christmas decos this year using combo bought theme items glurd to wood plugs trimmed with glitter & sparkled pipe cleaner..] we all had a blast. So i have been looking to ..kinda expand o n this for non-Christmas activity. Found you on YT, subscribed & 👍👍.

Great video!! Love the concept.
I am a ruptured brain aneurysm survivor.❤
Neuro information peaked my interest in the title of your video. I am a beginner artist. I just sat down frustrated with my art painting. Then I came upon you video. You have given me an idea to paint with this method. I calmed down now. I'm going to try again.
The paintings looked like the arteries in the brain. Thank you for your videos. ❤❤❤

Taught a class using this technique yesterday and wove it within my lecture on my research on managing lonely feelings! Thanks for sharing.

I just discovered neurographic art and it seems like just what I need right now. Thank you for explaining so well.

[marianhansenkaucheck]

As a kid in elementary school, we used to have to draw something like this and then color it in. It was considered busy work for those who finished their school work. I loved doing it. Now I know why. haha. I love this kind of art.

[deniserobinson]

Excellent video. I love that there is now a name and rational for this process. As a child our teacher would have us do what she called, " trail a line" . Loads of fun! As an art educator, when I taught line in my classes I would let the students play a game or make up a story about a line going on a journey. The stories that came up were always interesting.I like this process as it flips that concept around, starting with a challenge/ story and releasing. A very enjoyable and theraputic activity. Thanks for sharing.

This is the first example I saw a few months ago and have ben searching for it ever since! Yay! Part of why I know it is the one is the use of the sharpie, etc. to shadow Inside the already colored in shapes. You said to do it from one side, such as the top or the left, consistently and it will give more depth to the entire piece! I feel like I need to take 3 cleansing breaths! Thank you, Bethany Thiele-you did this 8/8/2020. And you ARE apart teacher--in more ways than people sometimes think of. My high school art teacher was wonderful, always an encouraging word and a positive comment! Then she would make a suggestion or two and lead you where you were trying to go or give you a fresh idea or two to try! I STILL just love her. My daughter, who actually turned out to be an artist, had the WORST experience with her Art Teacher!! The woman was not at all encouraging-in fact, she was very critical and judgmental in an unhelpful way. And she always said my daughter worked too slowly! It hurt my child and I will not forget that. She actually stopped making art for a time after that horrible, so-called "teacher." And I don't say that lightly as her Dad has been a teacher and many of our friends are or were teachers, Professors and the like. But I did meet some parent's who said the same awful things happened to their son-and then heard thru' the grapevine more. What a disservice. Art- of many kinds, and music, and her animals plus the love of her family and all her Facebook friends for 10-20 years, I mean actual, long term friends all over the world, helped her make it through 3 brain tumor surgeries-not malignant but she was dying from them. She beat them all with excellent Dr.! But then she got cancer-Stage 4, multiple metastatic adenocarcinoma and they said she wouldn't make it-sign these papers. No, I said. And after that hard year of treatment, we had her with us for 4 more wonderful years- and she kept making art, listening to music, taking care of her beloved fur babies and being on the same forums with the same people- for healthy food and water, for art, photography and was doing to mixed digital operations on the computer with her art and always used mixed media and wrote like there was no tomorrow-because there really wasn't. She never complained, not once. She was beautiful inside and out. So kind, thoughtful, loving, funny, loyal. This was a great person! But I will not forget that damned art "teacher", who got away with her awfulness for years and years-even when parents spoke up--yet I also will never for get the kind an wonderful teacher who's deceased daughter had the same birthday as my daughter- and she bought her class rig for her! How wonderful. And my daughter ALWAYS Loved her teachers-she used to want to stay and help them clean up after class, Fromm the moment she began school. Art and Music- so vital, so important in our world. And in ours. Thank you. Jenna's Mom, Terri

Thank you for your wonderful video. You explain the process so well and in a very relaxing and positive way. The music also adds pleasantry.

I started mine last night and finished today. It was very time consuming but I am pleased with the outcome. If I could download a photo, I would.

Since about the 1980's, I have been working on a lot of organic and geometric shapes. Nothing was ever planned, but evolved with the painting or drawing. It was very meditative-I just didn't know there was a name for what I was doing.

Today was the first art lesson for my friend who is handicapped. With practice I think he will progress as he continues his tai chi lessons. Combined, I believe he will move forward much faster in his rehabilitation. Both together will rebuild his brain as tai chi has improved his ability to walk, and his ability to speak. The mind is more engaged with the soul and spirit, and this technique has shown me because of the freedom it gives focus and in his case dexterity. As I said, combining these will give him confidence to pursue both and increase his chances for his future . And it’s a hell a lot of fun. Thanks for making lives a little (a lot) better, and that it increases.
