BRAIN DEVELOPMENT WITH ART

    Art is the beauty of nature as a human being. The duty of art is to create aesthetics for our lives. Art also helps to purify the mind and treatment of physical and mental illness as well. Recently, art has been able to develop the brain.

    From educational data of the neurologist (Neuroscientist) found that the reason for human ingenuity because the brain cells can be connected as a neural circuit. Especially, the neurons are connected to each other and how well organized, then it will result in more efficiency in the brain. It impacts to people to be smart. The factors that cause the brain cells to connect is a complete cycle, it’s the result of the stimulation of the various sensory parts.

    In psychology artistic activities help to promote the development of human imagination soft mood in emotions which create the image and impression. In addition, while we embark on artistic work such as dance, painting, sculpture, chorus, and organ composition that involves in the activities of those movements. It causes the connection of brain cells in the cerebral cortex, which works in the imaginary central brain (parietal lobe) and brain (cerebellum), which works on emotions.

    In children, the use of art develops the brain effectively because the brain of the child is in the developing age. We may begin by understanding the child that studying or working in art doesn’t not intend to grow into a great artist but it’s for working happily without the framework of thought. Especially, in the beauty issue emphasizes freedom and to liberate the imagination is important because that is the foundation of many children when they grow up in the future. In addition, it is good to see that art is also as a communication language for another human language. The work of art is like communicating of certain stories and emotions and it's easier than speaking or writing. Feeling or story is an indicator of the brain system that how it’s perfect.

    In the adult age, art may develop in different ways from childhood because adults will choose see an art instead of action. From this, it results to create a more satisfying and emotional effect than connecting the various parts in the brain as in children. Then, we often see adults who imagine by believing in life experiences as people who use the brain, reason and story in life. The use of art in adults is like inviting the brain back to balance and to relax by drawing, sculpting, knitting, and carving. They’re not nonsense for adults like to find some free time to work on art. Let your heart and brain work together again.
