I have read something very interesting recently. I am very interested in the art subject and everything that comed with it. Not only about the practical creation process,but also about the emotional and mental side which comes with it. What and why it happens. Since i would love to become a teacher at some point in my life,i have been studying on my own for now.
I came across a very interesting experience. The particular artists name is not important at this time,but the explanation is for sure.
The artist described art as something that is holding two piecies of an artists life. Without it,life would fall apart. But it is not like the life is broken already. As long as there is creative process going on a routine even of creating,then life is balanced and complete. It brings out happiness and joy.
Now after reading it,I recalled some of the things i already knew,I experienced on my own skin. I guess many artists,graphic,musicians,dancers etc will agrer to this to some point.
Being creative you are distracting yourself from most of the stressful things you have going pn in your life. The stress level reduces dramatically. I read that there are even studies,backing this up,that creating and even only experiencing art,visiting an art gallery for example,reduced "cortisol" which is a stress hormone. It also builds your self-esteem. We always feel and good and confident doing what we love!
It also creates a healthy state of mind.And it can be any kind of art. Drawing,painting,writing poetry,dancing. I milyself would love to get into woodworking. It is dream of mine. My father was a profrssional woodworker,he could build a house on his own. Do everything. I always respected him for that. All my life i wanted to do something similar. Something i will pursue in the future for sure.
