Here's How Making Art Helps Your Brain - NPR[/B][/URL] A lot of my free time is spent doodling. I'm a journalist on NPR's science desk by day. But all the time in between, I am an artist — specifically, a cartoonist. I draw in between tasks. I sketch at the coffee shop before work. And I like challenging myself to complete a zine — a little magazine — on my 20-minute bus commute. I do these things partly because it's fun and entertaining. But I suspect there's something deeper going on. Because when I create, I feel like it clears my head. It helps me make sense of my emotions. And it somehow, it makes me feel calmer and more relaxed. That made me wonder: What is going on in my brain when I draw? Why does it feel so nice? And how can I get other people — even[B] [/B]if they don't consider themselves artists — on the creativity train? [/QUOTE]
