SUMMARY:The Healing Power of Arts and Creativity
DESCRIPTION:Artistic expressions such as dance\, painting\, sculpture\, music\, and poetry allow those unable to discuss their inner struggles or triumphs to express their emotions by evoking emotions in others. Artistic endeavors involve creative inner forces and talents\, relying on imagination\, inspiration\, inventiveness\, and originality – and are uniquely human. The healing power of these artistic creations has a meditative quality that can bring psychological insight and relief from emotional distress. Together we will learn about how humans evolved to use art to connect\, enjoy shared experiences\, and create communities. \nLearning objectives: \n\nDiscover how mental struggles have been expressed in art\nUnderstand the relationship between art and the development of language and communication\nLearn about the healing powers of artistic creativity\nThe MIT Health Seminar Series are open to members of the MIT community\, along with patients who get their care at MIT Health.\n\nThis seminar takes place over Zoom. Please register in order to receive the materials\, even if you are unable to attend. \nIf you do not have an account on this website\, you will need to create one. For any questions or issues\, please reach out to the Community Wellness team at wellness@med.mit.edu or 617-253-1316.
