The Neuroscience & Psychology of the Arts
Artistica Dynamica aims to spread scientific findings about the arts to inspire you toward better health and well-being
How do the arts improve our brains & minds? What happens neurologically and psychologically with artistic experiences?
How can the arts enhance mental health and well-being?
from a poem by Emily Dickinson (1830-1886)
The brain is wider than the sky,
For, put them side by side,
The one the other will include
With ease, and you beside.
The brain is deeper than the sea,
For, hold them, Blue to Blue,
The one the other will absorb,
As sponges, buckets do...
The arts are much more significant than most people realize
People often think of arts & crafts in 7 different ways:
(1) creativity
(2) expression
(3) folk culture
(4) fashion/style
(5) entertainment
(6) fine arts
(7) background*
*By background, we mean architecture, interior decor, restaurant background music, or movie music which most people pay limited attention to unless the style bothers them. Any great musician, music, or visual art is diminished in this way by an inattentive audience.
Can the arts dramatically improve your life for the better?
Research* indicates that people should seize the deeper benefits from the arts:
(1) learning music can profoundly expand a child's IQ
(2) music can be therapeutic for adults
(3) dance can be therapeutic for adults
(3) visual art can be therapeutic for adults
What if we fully realize how crucial and uncomplicating - yet underutilized - the arts truly are for various types of psychiatric diseases and neurologic disorders?
What if we understand how speech language therapy, art therapy, music therapy, and dance/movement therapy function to improve psychiatric or neurological problems?
Oh what wonderful benefits we would enjoy without side effects!
*In addition to research, other forms of arts have been reportedly helpful in other ways
