Why does art make us happy? |
|
From doodling in a sketchpad to joining a choir, research has shown time and again that creative pursuits help us thrive. It's the foundation of this year's ABC Arts Week, which last week centred on stories of 'happy making' in the world of art, literature, film, theatre, music and design. Join The Art Show's Rosa Ellen on a visit to the Collective Polyphony Festival, a celebration of local and international artists' collectives, and tune into AWAYE! to hear from Indigenous creative powerhouse Nakkiah Lui about her latest project. Then, harness the power of art-making in your everyday life, with practical advice on how to enhance your wellbeing through creativity. Listen to This Working Life to hear how to work like an artist — even if you sit at a desk all day. Head to Life Matters to discover how storytelling through art can help process trauma. Learn from ABC Classic how to find your choir crowd, no matter your singing capability or confidence. We hope you enjoy this smorgasbord of art-filled stories — and don't forget to check out RN's arts programs on the ABC listen app. Until next week, Anna Levy, RN deputy digital editor Enjoy getting ABC RN in your inbox?
