It’s a fact - art makes us feel good. Neurobiologist Semir Zeki found that people who view art had as much dopamine, the feel-good hormone, as people in love! Workers who spend only 35 minutes of their lunch break at an art gallery feel less stressed about their day. And students who visit art museums gain a higher capacity for empathy than students who do not. All these benefits help us to be thankful. Webster’s Dictionary defines thankful as - “conscious of benefit received,” an “expressive of thanks,” and being “well pleased.” What wonderful things to think about!
Whether it’s the merry month of May, an early holiday gift, or just because, it’s always a wonderful time to show your mom, grandma or mother figure how much you love them with art!
Maybe you’ve seen a miniature painting before, but have you witnessed a tiny sculpture or mini with three-dimensional details so small, you would find them with a magnifying glass?
The awards for the 35th International Miniature Art Show have been announced. This year’s winners celebrate the incredible talent, creativity, and detail that make miniature art one of the most captivating forms of original art.
