There is a book called “Your Brain on Art”. It explains how the brain works better when it gets to experience art. Lots of scientific findings showing how neural pathways are enhanced and healthier when art is introduced.
I’ve always suspected. When I taught I would often collaborate with the teachers so their lessons would have the impact of art. It would help kids remember. I saw so many kids who got into a lot trouble in class, settle right down and work on art. I saw how interested and intuitive kids were when discussing art history.
I’ve done many community art projects over the years in many different cities and counties. It’s always nice to see the fun and lightness of everyone participating.
How would I improve my community? I would bring more art opportunities for kids of all ages.
