For modern people who lead stressful everyday lives with an overload of information, thinking "my mind never rests" or "I have no time to zone out," we will hold an online seminar titled "Introduction to Mental Care Sorted by Art (Seminar for Individuals No. 3)" to share a mental care method utilizing art.
In this seminar, rather than talking about the sensory feeling of "somehow being healed," Shoma Toida, Representative of BUSCA LLC, which operates the art marketplace "FROM ARTIST," will clearly explain "why art works for the mind" based on evidence from brain science and psychology. He will introduce a "3-Minute Art Meditation" that you can practice immediately at home, and how to choose art that settles your mind.
■ Background of the Event: Art Becomes the "Mind's Breath" for Modern People
Modern people are constantly exposed to various stimuli such as work, chores, SNS, and news, and are said to make about 6,000 to 10,000 judgments a day. As a result, the brain is constantly tense, and the stress hormone "cortisol" tends to remain high.
"Mental care using art" is currently attracting worldwide attention as a switch to lighten that excessive load and temporarily turn off the "overthinking brain." Art has a scientific effect of calming our minds and organizing us at a physical level without requiring any special knowledge. This seminar provides how to utilize art as the "ultimate self-care" where busy people can recover in a short time.
■ Seminar Highlights (Excerpts from the Program)
[Chapter 1] Unraveling "Why Art Settles the Mind" Not by Senses, But by "Science"
There is clear scientific evidence as to why art is said to be good for mental health. The seminar explains the following three mechanisms:
Reduction of Stress Hormones: Experiments by overseas research institutes have shown that just 20 minutes of art appreciation reduces the stress hormone "cortisol" by 25%.
Secretion of Happiness Hormones: Looking at art stimulates the brain's "nucleus accumbens" and releases dopamine. Just looking at it naturally makes you feel positive.
Creation of a Mindfulness State: Brain waves during art appreciation are close to those during meditation, having the effect of regulating breathing and quieting thoughts.
[Chapter 2] What are the "3 Types of Art" Effective for Mental Care?
We answer the question, "Can any art heal in the same way?" We will introduce the characteristics of three types of art specialized for mental care that organize a space.
Art with "Soft Curves": Conveys a sense of security and gentleness to the brain, relieving tension.
Art with "Calming Colors (Blue, Green, Beige)": Has a psychological effect of regulating breathing and quieting thoughts.
Minimal Art with Lots of "Blank Space": With less visual information, it creates an "organized, clear space" in the brain.

We also prepare practical work to turn knowledge directly into action.

Furthermore, we will explain effortless ways...
