The document states that "art is an integrative expression of the psychic, emotional, social, cultural, rational, physical and spiritual dimensions of individuals and societies that promotes transformation processes, it is a true bridge for health and development."

b) What are healthy living habits?

c) What is the relationship between artistic expressions and healthy living habits?d) Can artistic expressions influence the life of the community in terms of health?

2. Individually, without forgetting you are part of a community, make a table with four columns in your notebook and write the following titles in each one:a)Improvement in Mood

b) Promotion of Artistic Activity

c) Promotion of Social Relations

d) Discipline

3. In communities, discuss and write in each column those artistic activities you have carried out, such as painting, drawing, dancing, singing, or playing an instrument, which have produced some benefit in any of the aspects mentioned previously. In the fourth column, include other health benefits that, from your point of view, the arts provide.

4. Read the problematic situations on the next page and discuss whether you observe them in your community. Select one you think is the most appropriate to develop a project. If none fits your situation, identify one and write it in your notebook.
