Can Art save lives the same way a qualified Doctor can , and the way medicine should to a dying human being ?.

  • Can music sooth a savage breast? are colors tone and texture a way to alter our mood? can art and Life merge?
    just sit with a Mark Rothco painting and ask the same questions
  • Art is therapy and a way to reveal our gifts, needs, visions, emotions and more.
    I agree with krista it can not save in that extreme but can support healing.

    Again some pathologies have been cured by alternative medecine and the power of the mind, o in a way if we see art as therapy it could be highly powerful in cleansing and renewing brain patterns and structures. I am not an expert but if we believe we have the power within us to heal, art is an expression of that power. In some sense it could be more a catalyser than any medical operation.

    There is no right or wrong answer, in a world of possibilities it could be true and false.
  • Realistically no, I don’t think art can save lives in the sense that you’re gonna paint and suddenly you won’t need a surgery or medicine. But I definitely think that any type of creative outlet can soothe and help a person mentally, or maybe not even an artist themselves but someone who just enjoys art and finds something meaningful and joyous in it.
