1. Admiring Great Artwork Feels Like Falling in Love 欣赏伟大的艺术品就像坠入爱河

Science confirms what all art lovers already know in their hearts: Art appreciation promotes quality of life and makes you feel good.

科学证实了所有艺术爱好者心中已经知道的真相：艺术欣赏可以提高生活质量，让你感觉心旷神怡。

According to Professor Semir Zeki, a neurobiologist at the University College of London, when you stare at great artworks, the part of your brain that is stimulated is the same as when you fall in love.The feeling of desire and affection that we have when we fall romantically for someone is the result of our brain releasing dopamine, a feel-good chemical.

根据伦敦大学学院神经生物学家Semir Zeki教授的说法，当你凝视伟大的艺术品时，大脑中受到刺激的部分与你坠入爱河时是如出一辙。当我们爱上某人时，我们产生的欲望和情感是大脑释放多巴胺的结果，多巴胺是一种感觉良好的化学物质。

Our brain has the same kind of pleasurable feelings when we admire great artworks, such as The Birth of Venus by Sandro Botticelli, or other masterpieces by great artists like Monet, Turner and Constable.

当我们欣赏伟大的作品时，我们的大脑也会有同样的愉悦感，比如桑德罗·波提切利的《维纳斯的诞生》，或者莫奈、特纳和康斯特布尔等伟大艺术家的其他杰作。

Love of beauty is Taste. The creation of beauty is Art.

爱美就是味蕾的爆炸。创造美就是艺术重生。

— Ralph Waldo Emerson- 拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生

2. Art Making as a Form of Healing and Therapy 艺术创作可以让你远离忧伤

Art making can be soothing and stress-reducing; it is also a source of relaxation, gratification, and self-expression. Ask any artist, they would tell you that while they are creating, they feel like they are in their own bubble, “in the zone”, detached from anything going on around them, including the sense of time.

艺术创作可以舒缓和减轻压力；它也是放松、满足和自我表达的源泉。问问任何一位艺术家，他们都会告诉你，当他们在创作时，他们感觉自己就像置身于自我的天地中，“置身于某个区域”，与周围发生的任何事情都是分离的，包括时间感。

In the last few decades, we have rediscovered the benefits of art making for personal growth, self-expression, transformation, and wellness. However, it’s correct to call it art therapy only when facilitated by a master-level clinician, the art therapist, trained to work with people who are challenged with medical and mental health problems, as well as individuals seeking emotional, creative, and spiritual growth.

在过去的几十年中，我们重新发现了艺术创作对个人成长、自我表达、个性蜕变和健康的益处。然而，只有在大师级的临床医生（即艺术治疗师）的帮助下，才能将其称为艺术疗法。艺术治疗师接受过培训，能够与面临医疗和心理健康问题的人，同时可以同寻求情感、创造力和精神成长的人一起工作。

3. Surrounding Yourself With Beauty Brings You Happiness 美的事物围绕会让你幸福盈怀

We grow in a house for which we haven’t chosen the décor, and we absorb from teachers and relatives concepts of what is beautiful and attractive without even realizing it. As adults, we think we know what is desirable and what we love, but do we really know what shapes and forms make us happy?

我们生长在一所房子里，对装饰风格没有选择权。我们从老师和亲戚那里获取了美丽和美丽的概念，这些概念都是在不知不觉中形成的。作为成年人，我们认为自己知道需要什么，什自己喜欢什么，但我们真的知道什么形状和和艺术形式让我们快乐吗？

Much pleasure can be found in color, shape, form, and image. So it is very important to ask ourselves: What do I like? What gives me pleasure?

在颜色、形状、形式和物体外观上我们都能找到很多乐趣。所以我们得问自己：什么喜好关乎我们的幸福？什么物质形态使我们快乐？

4. Learn What Pleases You Most and Be Happier 弄清哪些事物是你的最爱，才能永葆愉悦心情

Looking at art helps you understand what is beautiful and attractive for you and form your own personal esthetics.

艺术欣赏有助于你理解什么对你来说是美的和有吸引力的，并形成你自己的个人美学。

Try these simple ways to learn what kind of art makes you happier.

尝试以下简单方法，了解什么样的艺术品让你更快乐

1. Collect images that interest you. Collect appealing magazine clippings and photos, either made of paper or digital images. 收集您感兴趣的图片。收集有吸引力的杂志剪报和照片，无论是纸质还是数字图片。
2. Collect small objects the same way. You can fill a box with small things like buttons, cute sticks, stones, or anything that is interesting because of color, shape or texture. 用同样的方法收集小物件。你可以在一个盒子里放一些小东西，比如纽扣、可爱的木棒、石头，或者任何因为颜色、形状或质地而有趣的东西。
3. Find commonalities. You will end up with a collection of things that touch you at some level, and looking at the collection, ask yourself: What do they have in common? It could be color, style, texture, or design. It doesn’t matter what it is, as long as it speaks to you. Look at your favorites especially. Why do you like them so much? 找到收餐品的共性。你最终会得到一系列在某种程度上触动你的东西，看看这些东西，问问自己：它们有什么共同点？它可以是颜色、样式、纹理或设计上给你别样的愉悦。

5. Art Has a Feel-Good Power on the Brain 艺术对大脑中具有正态的力量

More scientific results suggest that the dopaminergic effect of art on the brain has a powerful effect on quality of life. In fact, it has been shown, by Ercole Vellone and al., that among stroke survivors, those with interest in the arts enjoyed better general health, found it easier to walk, had more energy, and tend to be happier. They were also less likely to be depressed or anxious.

更多的科学结果表明，艺术对大脑的多巴胺能效应对生活质量有着强大的影响。事实上，Ercole Vellone等人已经表明，在中风幸存者中，那些对艺术感兴趣的人总体健康状况更好，走路更容易，精力更充沛，而且往往更快乐。他们也不太可能沮丧或焦虑。

The results suggest that art may make long-term changes to the brain that help the person to recover when things go wrong.

研究结果表明，艺术可能会对大脑产生长期的改变，帮助人们在出现问题时恢复健康。

6. Our Sensitivity to the Fine Arts Evolves Throughout Our Life 我们对严肃艺术的敏感性在我们的一生中不断变化

In the 1940s, Abraham Maslow, an American professor of psychology, developed a Hierarchy of Needs. According to Maslow, a person will develop from basic needs to self-actualization in steps.

20世纪40年代，美国心理学教授亚伯拉罕·马斯洛（Abraham Maslow）提出了需求层次。根据马斯洛的说法，一个人将逐步从基本需求发展到自我实现。

His theory can be visualized as a pyramid. Art is at the top of this pyramid. In fact, it belongs to the self-actualization step. This may explain why some people do not appreciate arts as much as others and why our sensitivity to the fine arts changes with time throughout our life.

他的理论可以想象成金字塔。艺术在这个金字塔的顶端。事实上，这属于自我实现的步骤。这也许可以解释为什么有些人不像其他人那样欣赏艺术，以及为什么我们对艺术的敏感性在我们的一生中会随着时间的推移而改变。

7. Art Is a Deep and Very Personal Experience 艺术鉴赏力是一种深刻的个人体验

The language of art, expressed through sounds, colors, shapes, lines, and images, speaks in ways that words cannot.

艺术语言，通过声音、颜色、形状、线条和图像来表达，它以语言无法表达的方式呈现。

Art has a way of reaching deep inside our souls and connecting what is inside us, our thoughts, feelings, and perceptions, with outer realities and with our own experiences.

艺术有一种方式可以深入我们的灵魂深处，将我们内心的东西、我们的思想、感受和感知与外部现实以及我们自己的经历联系起来。

Being such a deep experience on a personal level, art can help us understand who we are and enhance life through self-expression.

作为个人层面上如此深刻的体验，艺术可以帮助我们了解自己，并通过自我表达来提升生活。
