Where does art happen?
I have been thinking a great deal lately about where art occurs in the brain. It seems that more I study this topic, the more I am left with a sense of awe in regards to how complicated the brain and art really are. It is becoming increasingly clear that there is no singular art spot or creative location in the brain and art is not exclusive to the right hemisphere or any brain region for the matter. Which is not to imply that the right hemisphere is not involved or even dominant in some respects. Bur rather, research is suggesting that art making likely relies on multiple workings within the brain. In addition, the type of materials and media used, the artists intention of the work, the time allocated, and the mood of the creator, are but a few of the many different factors that can potentially influence how the brain responds to art.
