The Power Of Art Lies In The Joy It Brings

By Crystal Salazar


Many people will tell you that they do not have an artistic bone in their body. However, they may not appreciate that the term art does not just refer to paintings and sculptures. If you want to know the power of art, you need to consider what it is and the effect it has on your emotions. Some people would classify art as anything that you see, touch, hear or feel that is capable of engaging a deep emotional response.

Arts and crafts activities and music have proved very beneficial in the treatment of patients recovering from illness or injury. It is not unusual for relaxation sessions to be accompanied by some soft and soothing background music. Activities involving crafts and other artistic pursuits are a fundamental element in treatment plans for mental health patients. Young children often draw pictures of things that distress them and that they cannot talk about.

A child's developmental progress can be measured in part by their ability to recognize various shapes, which are brightly colored and to put them in the right place. Children's television programs use plenty of rich, bright colors, plenty of happy music and dancing to capture attention. If you study a child when they are watching one of these programs they become totally engrossed in what is happening on screen.

The colors and wallpaper patterns that adults choose for their homes, to a certain degree expresses their personality. They may also carry that over into their dress sense. But not everyone who wears big patterns and bright colors will have a loud and hyper personality, they may just be trying to put on a bold front and are hiding their real self.

Not everyone loves music, but in general the majority of people like at least one type. It is not unusual for people to enjoy two or three different genre. That is one of the main reasons why advertiser often use music soundtracks to target their audience. If one of your favorite songs has been used in an advert, then every time you hear that particular song you are reminded of the advert.

Music plays and important role in the health and well-being arena. Music has been proven to be beneficial in promoting a state of relaxation and relieving stress. That is one of the main reasons why many organizations have adopted the practice of playing music on the phone while you are waiting for your call to be answered.

There are thousands of artworks spread around the world that are considered to be priceless. But for many people the real artwork is the one that brings your emotions to the fore. It does not have to be priceless in terms of money, as long as it has been produced with love and care, it is priceless in the emotion stakes.

It would be a pretty boring world if everyone shared the same perceptions about artworks in terms of what is good and what is bad art. Whatever form your art contribution takes, if it reflects even a little bit of you and how you feel and brings emotions to the fore in others, it is art. The power of art lies in being able to share your emotions and feelings with others.
