ART theory: Repaint our mind and thoughts

The importance of art in our life is well described in my earlier articles.

ART is a theory, if ART can beautify a plain canvas or a plain piece of paper, just think if we apply this theory to repaint our mind, our thoughts. It has a power to do mental and emotional transformation. 

 

"Repaint our thoughts" means using the principles of art to change our ways of thinking. Art theory, at its core involves understanding color, form, symbolism, emotions, perspectives, and meaning.

Use art theory to transform your thoughts :

Change the Perspective: 

Art teaches us that same object can be viewed differently based on our perspective. E.g. A circle can be viewed as sun to someone or a dish or a ring or a moon.

 

Similarly by shifting our mental viewpoint, we can see problems as opportunities or pain as growth.

Add Colors:

Just as colors in art highlight feelings and  beautifies the painting,

 

Similarly we can learn to adjust 'emotional colors' of our thoughts, like adding more joy, calm, or hope and feel happy.

Add Texture:

Art gives importance to texture which gives background feel to the painting.  

 

Similarly our thoughts too like painting are often layered, textured by past experiences. Background thoughts are very important and unnecessary layers should be peeled off to make our thoughts landscape a better place for future experiences.

 Be Creative:

Art's creative theory encourages expressive freedom.

 

Likewise, applying creativity to our thoughts let us express ourselves, release emotions, and heal from within.

Use the principles of artistic creation to transform our inner world. Use it to reflect, reimagine, and renew the way we think and feel. 

It's a call to become the artist of our own minds.
