A Stress Reliever?

I have to admit...I truely miss my highschool art classes. For four years I took art classes. Art has always been incorporated in my life, and now that I am in college I do not find it a big part of my life, and I truely miss it. Now as in my classes I have learned that I can't paint a picture with words, metaphors, similies and such...but I miss the color the textures and various mediums I used. I miss getting my hands dirty and experimenting with colors and different mediums. Do you incorporate art in your life? If so, how? What is your favorite type of art?
