In recent years, scientists have been researching how arts influence our brain and behaviour. 21 .Training in arts may lead to changes in our brain. It has been found that children who play musical instruments are better at paying attention to others before they speak. 22 This may be a sign of better performance in the front part of their brains, which is responsible for important tasks like self-control and decision-making.
23 Even simple drawings can enhance our memory. In a study, a group of students were invited to draw during class. Later, these students scored higher in exams than other students. 24 Such results show that arts might help us learn in other fields.
Even if we’re not good at drawing or singing, there’s no need to worry. We don’t have to be talented to benefit from arts. 25 Visiting museums, attending concerts and watching plays are all good for us. So, why not make arts part of our daily life and let our inner artist shine
