How Can Art Help You?

I made this sketch of Chiswick House in London on a very cold winter day. My fingers got completely numb but I am very pleased I managed to complete this beautiful drawing!

Immersing in art visiting galleries and museums fills you up with positive emotions. One can always get lost in the myriads of rooms and galleries bridging a gap with the past to better understand the present and find inspiration for the future works.

“If you have creative work, you don’t have age or time”

- Louise Nevelson

Looking at the art enriches your mind and improves your visual memory. I noticed that the more galleries and museums I visit, the better my memory becomes. You can train your eye to remember particular works, to distinguish one artist from another or identify the period when a particular work of art was made.

Art develops your brain so that it can draw parallels, associations and enriches your imagination so you can easily visualise objects in 3 dimensional space. If you try to sketch what use see, this would not only improve your drawing skills but also develop your brain and memory. This is particularly useful for the kids as they can learn how to absorb information quicker using a variety of different ways.
