The Power Of Art On Human Beings

By Marissa Velazquez


Art has always been a very important piece of the culture of humans ever since the time of cavemen when cave drawings and prehistoric drum beats were made. Now there is actually a reason why many forms of artistry can stand the test of time and still be valuable today. It is simply because the power of art may influence the human mind itself.

Art is extremely broad and comes in many forms like paintings, drawings, music, or even dramas. There are some studies that suggest that arts actually do have a very big and significant impact on the brain of a person, especially students. In fact, it may even help with the brain development of young students.

Nowadays where the world is getting more and more competitive, subjects that are about arts are slowly being taken out of the curriculum of many schools these days. There are so many schools these days that would just want to focus on the academic subjects like english, math, or science because these are the main ones in the education system. Since the focus has gone to these subjects, the arts are no longer of importance.

When a child is very young, he experiences pleasure in dabbling with activities such as drawing, singing, or dancing in order to express himself. To children, this is not a form of gaining knowledge but rather an outlet wherein they could express what they feel whether it be joy or sadness. In a sense, artistry is actually a natural instinct humans use in order to interact with one another.

One of the most common forms of art would actually be music wherein humans would automatically be able to appreciate even if they are young. Music is somehow able to spark a part of the mind that is known to trigger certain emotions and feelings in the head. Because of the surge of these feelings, the mind would automatically be able to create certain mental images related to the song being played.

Painting or visual art is another form that is very appealing to humans and may actually activate some critical thinking functions in the brain. Since visual things like pictures or paintings are a representation of how the artist sees the world, there is always a deeper meaning behind them even if the picture is abstract. The tendency of most people admiring these pieces is that they would most likely want to decipher the meaning behind it and therefore use a lot of critical thinking techniques.

Certain forms of physical activities also may fall under the arts category and are also beneficial to brain development. Exercise is actually known to be able to increase the amount of oxygen that the brain gets. This in turn would actually boost up the cognitive functions of a human being and thus making his brain move faster in a sense.

The power of art on human beings is so immense that people of old preserve their pieces. Their main reason would actually be because artistry will definitely benefit humans in a way that normal learning methods would not. As one can observe, the development of the brain may actually be dependent on art.
