Emotions are impacted by art from "summary" of Your Brain on Art by Susan Magsamen,Ivy Ross

When we engage with art, whether it’s through visual arts, music, dance, or any other form, our emotions are profoundly affected. Art has the power to elicit strong emotions within us, sometimes even ones we may not have realized were there. It has the ability to tap into our deepest feelings and stir something within us that we may not have been in touch with before. Art has a way of connecting with us on a deeply personal level, resonating with our own experiences, memories, and emotions. It can evoke a wide range of feelings, from joy and happiness to sadness and nostalgia. This ability to evoke different emotions is what makes art such a powerful medium for expression and communication. When we experience art, whether by creating it ourselves or by observing the work of others, our brain reacts in a way that affects our emotions. Research has shown that engaging with art can activate the same areas of the brain that are involved in processing emotions. This means that art has the ability to not only evoke emotions within us but also to help us better understand and process those emotions. Art has a unique way of bypassing our rational, logical mind and speaking directly to our emotions. It has the power to move us in ways that words alone cannot. Through art, we can experience empathy, compassion, and connection with others, as well as with ourselves. This emotional connection is what makes art such a valuable tool for personal growth and self-expression.
  1. Art has the ability to touch our hearts and souls in a way that is both profound and transformative. It has the power to move us, inspire us, and help us make sense of our emotions and experiences. By engaging with art, we open ourselves up to a world of emotions that can enrich our lives and deepen our understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
