The Art of Creative Inspiration:
A Guide for Schools

Cognitive neuroscientists found that creating art reduces cortisol levels (markers for stress), and that through art people can induce positive mental states. These studies are part of a new field of research, called neuroesthetics: the scientific study of the neurobiological basis of the arts.

We're curating artist talks from across the United States to inspire young people to express themselves through art. This guide is for schools to share with parents on their websites and social media.
