Bring on the Good Vibes

It is a scientific fact that looking at art, doing art, engaging in art brings on the good vibes.  The part of your brain that registers the emotions such as happiness, love, pleasure  and enjoyment light up and sends out waves when we look at people we love and also when we look at art.
Imagine if you could turn a ho hum day into a fabulous day, just engaging in art. Those pheromones would be popping all over the place. 
There are some simple things you could do to engage in art.

• Curl up with an artbook based on your favourite artist or genre
• Visit a library and checkout their art section, you may find a new artist or process
• Explore online art galleries such as Bluethumb or Gallery24/7
• Explore the local wall art such as Wall to Wall in Mordialloc
• Enjoy a local art show
• Wander through the local gallery
• Take a sketchbook and pencil when you go for a coffee and do some live sketching
• Take a sketchbook, an ink pen and some watercolours to the park and do some line and colour
• Doodle on a piece of paper and see what you create
• Grab some paint and a substrate and lose yourself for an hour or two

Everyone has their own challenge, I can have people attending art classes who are going through significant health challenges, life challenges, mental health challenges and for those few hours there is peace and calm and happiness that extends beyond the class.  Yes, art can bring on the good vibes, try it, you might just love it!
