Art Feeds the soul

‘’ Art is to console those who are broken in life’’- Vincent Van Gogh. Art plays an important role in soothing the souls of the viewer as well as the artist. A masterpiece with brilliant colors evokes an array of vivid and different emotions in us which can be happiness, hope, stillness, history, or a vague memory.

Here we will find out how art helps in feeding the soul:

Art encourages brain activity

A study found out that art stimulates the various brain cells in the body. For an artist, art is a great way to unwind themselves after a long day of work. Art takes you to a different world and lets you forget all the problems you are facing in your day-to-day life. According to a study conducted in Germany two hours of mental activity in the form of art six days, a week helps to slow down the cognitive disorder that comes with dementia.

Art gives you freedom

Art is a way to boost your freedom as it gives you a chance to explore your visual expression. Art can help you to connect with people who may not agree with your perspective but can understand the language of colors and paintings. When you pour your creative feelings onto the canvas through your art and colors it gives you a great sense of freedom. Every soul on the earth wants freedom therefore art is a powerful way to feed the soul.

Art instills a sense of accomplishment

When your great piece of art receives accolades from everyone then it not only boosts your self-esteem but you also get a sense of accomplishment. As you play with colors and create art the feel-good neurotransmitter in your brain called dopamine gets increased. It is also called the motivation molecule. Moreover, it also increases your focus, drive, and concentration.

Art helps you become observant

As you create art it is vital to pay minute attention to your surroundings by concentrating on details. Being observant makes you calmer and provides clarity to your thoughts. As Leonardo Da Vinci said, ‘’ painting embraces all the ten functions of the eye; that is to say, darkness, light, body and color, shape, location, distance and closeness, motion and rest.’’ For instance, Innovation by Rosalind Panda intrigues the audience to observe the human creativity to drive the human desire for innovation.

Art helps to heal your soul

“Art washes from the soul the dust of everyday life”- Pablo Picasso

Today millions of people all over the world are suffering from different mental health problems like anxiety, depression, and stress. Art is used as a therapy today for depressed people as visually admiring an art helps them to look at life positively and forget their illnesses. Art helps to lower the level of the stress hormone called cortisol and makes the viewer as well as the artist happier. For instance, a study conducted found that when over 10,000 students were taken into an art museum for one hour their behavior changed drastically. The students showed greater critical thinking skills and developed a sense of empathy for other people.
