Your Brain on Art Music Dance & Poetry
This is your brain on art. A growing number of scientific research support the idea that art has a measurable impact on the brain and its structure, resulting in a brain that can be better at math and science.
Making art increases brain plasticity — the ability of the brain to adapt to new situations.
Susan Magsamen, director of the International Arts and Mind Lab at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, suggests that children who participate in the arts are better learners and less likely to drop out of school.
Despite the growing evidence, arts education has fallen out of favor in our culture, according to Ivy Ross, VP of hardware design at Google. "We optimize for productivity and push the arts aside," she says.
