The Healing Power of Art- Week 5

This week, instead of the gallery, I directly assisted a Brooklyn-based artist who created works focused on mental health. Her work was a reflection of her own mental health experiences. As I was helping to piece together her work, I noticed that the work itself felt very healing and calming. Looking at the completed work, I am reminded of the power of art, and I think about how the experiences that go into creating works can be reflected in the works themselves and alter the way the audience experiences the work. The art itself felt healing and reminded me of the power of art in creating an emotional impact on the audience.
