…feel it.
There is research and a lot of anecdotes about the benefits of creation and positive effects, of course it does not only apply to visual art. Will write some posts about the research.
From PubMed:
The Role of the Visual Arts in Enhancing the Learning Process
“How can we develop techniques in learning to engage the emotions? Learning should not be driven by fear but by desire. Why are the arts considered separate from the sciences? What were the first arts? How did the scientific enquiring mind arise?”
d’Amboise (2008)
