Neuroplasticity is key in the brain’s evolution, structure, and ability to repair, or re-channel pathways. Because exposure to art invokes and stimulates both brain hemispheres, creating or viewing art stimulates the motor cortex even though there may be no movement involved. (Demarin, Bedeković, Puretić, & Pašić, 2016)

​ University of Toronto study found that, in addition to the visual cortex being activated, other, deeper state areas of the brain were also activated. These areas include the brain’s pleasure and reward (serotonin) system. (Campbell, 2014)

Professors find that performing arts, music, literature, and the visual arts build critical thinking, observation, communication, bias awareness, and empathy skills that “science” just can’t provide. At Yale, Harvard, and University of Texas Austin, medical students are required to visit museums and describe the works in precise detail. (Lesser, 2017)(Bolwerk, Mack-Andrick, Lang, Dörfler, & Maihöfner, 2014
