Art influences
I never really understood, or gave time to understand, the often heard, ” art matters ” and it’s only recently that I gave it some thought.
Being creative, whatever form that takes, or whether recognised, is an achievement, an involvement, which is positive, makes you feel good and connects deeply. It’s not a chocolate or shopping thing, which gives a high and fades quickly. It lasts and sometimes may even rescue.
In a turbulent world, seemingly with abundant negatives and negative persons, being creative and achieving is good for your health, in many ways.
It removes and kick starts, unencumbered, threat free thought, in a relaxing and pleasant mind place to be.
The same is true by seeking art to appreciate, because art connects and transports and sometimes even challenges.
Art and creative expression are your outlets for free thought and that’s why “art matters”.
It shares, influences and creates positives.
So find what lights your candle.
