Art and Psychology

Art can be described in many ways but sometimes an artist struggles to describe his/her own painting because sometimes there is no description but just solace to your soul. There are many forms of art and painting is one form of art which is a wonder for the eye, solace to the soul and imaginative calculations to the brain.

 Many of the paintings are indicative about the mood of its artist.An artist who possesses the talent of painting can never be calm and composed until he/she puts the emotions and imaginations in them on a canvas.Artists look at everything in their ordinary life, regular daily routine in an aesthetic form. For example, looking at a tree branch as a piece of ornament or a ceiling as a design. If these things are not put on a canvas , anger, frustration etc are very common to occur and these emotions are sometimes painted as well. These are the things that often happen to me too. I paint with bright colors  when I'm calm and use the dark colors when I'm frustrated.

Art in its many forms are always therapeutic to a human being. I recently read about music therapy and it's simply wonderful to know how music works on a human mind. There must be many researches that have been done or in progress about paintings and its artists.

Letters were not just used for communication but it became an art also. The design of the letter took a uniform design when the British came to India and started ruling over. Even to this day in some villages of India, the post man or the teachers of the school should open the letter and read it. Today,some vintage letters are preserved in the families, in the Government offices, Parliaments and the collectors who fancy collecting vintage letters. I have preserved letters from Great grandfather and my GrandFather.  I feel that these vintage letters are some sort of treasure that I have. Funniest part is, it takes a long time to come to the matter itself because the starting two- three sentences is to be polite enquiries and whereabouts of each other and ending the letter used to be with elegant words. I will post some pictures of the ...
