Art IS definitely good for you! I started going to art galleries and exhibitions when I was at the darkest stage of my depression and it helped me to feel better, to distract myself from my dark thoughts, to get a perspective in life. I am so very grateful to art in this sense!❤❤ Thank you BBC!

That art as shown in galleries you visited was good for you at a bleak time in your life does not mean art is definitely good for you or for me. Do the disturbed paintings of Jack Kevorkian or the horror films of Takeshi Miike make you feel good about life? Is it specific works of art that are good for you but that are not good for me or is all art of equal merit and value?

They did. They said every individual responds differently and it only relates to recognition of patterns and getting satisfaction in the event the patterns come together in a familiar way. Some people hate cubism because the pieces don't come together in a familiar way.

Yes it's the modern BBC: just a bit crap. When a tiny tot I got to watch the BBC's Ascent of Man by Jacob Bronowski. I still recall watching it!

Omg. That painting by Degas is depicting an obscure subject which I had just spent last night learning about on Wikipedia. It depicts a famous ballet scene from the opera ‘Robert le Diable’. It is historically significant because it marks the beginning of Ballet’s obsession with ghosts and spirits, starting the trend which brought us classics like Gisselle, La Sylphide and Swan Lake. Until this moment, I did not know Degas had painted this topic. I did however recognize the imagery from other descriptions on Wikipedia.

In my humble opinion, this research should be conducted from the entry-level painters aka kids to the masters in painting. To see how those brains react. As they look from different angles at the techniques, ideas, composition ... all the way to the deepest and multiple meanings of the painting(s).

This makes sense. I visited a museum 2 weeks ago and one of the displays was an unfinished portrait by a late national artist when he died. I could see the sketch he made of how he envisioned that portrait, and my brain wired itself into "finishing that portrait" inside my head.

Why choose somebody, who looks like is being at the museum as a punishment. The reporter was so disinterested it was a bit uncomfortable to watch. Her comment on viewed art was incredibly ignorant. Choose your reporters wisely, BBC.

What is the difference between looking at art and looking at archirecture? What is the difference between looking at art and looking at mechanical apparatuses? What is the difference between looking at art and looking at landscaping? What is the difference between looking at an artistic representation of nature and looking at nature? What is the difference between looking at art, looking at artisan crafts, looking at artifice, and looking at the artificial? What is the difference between looking at a painting and looking at a collage or a photograph? What is the difference between looking at a photo and looking at the real thing the photo represents? What's the difference between looking at very basic, childish artwork and looking at a very complex bowerbired nest that does not meet the "man-made" aspect of art, at all, but that surpasses the intention and reasoning of all art as made by humans? What comparison is there to determine that looking at art is different or special relative to just looking at anything at all?

Excuse me, but I didn't need any scientific study to know that art is an active experience. 😕 In fact, it's an experience that affects the entire body. When you're in front of a painting, sculpture, etc. emotions can be felt in the chest, hands, it runs through your entire person. I'm surprised that the journalist only has a superficial image of what she sees. What would happen if she saw abstract art? In short, art is good for people.⭐ Kudos to everyone working to prove that fact. 👍 Greetings from Chile ❤

I would have liked a range of people. Also, an abstract painter vs classical painter, looking at their favourite style vs a style they wouldnt personally enjoy painting. Because even the style they wouldnt paint, they would be checking out the design elements like value, colour, composition and shapes, brushstrokes, direction, etc. Then id love to see non-artists look at the same paintings. Left-brained vs right brained people. Colourblind, visually impaired looking at different genres.

I may seem conservative on this matter, but I'm a little confused. Because...it's good for science to develop, but if people's sensibilities toward art become digitized, I fear it will be used in dark experiments to read people's minds. Or, conversely, I'm a little worried that AI will somehow intervene in our minds and they control our emotions without us even realizing it.

I would think that measuring a response to art modifies the viewers response. How you feel looking at the art when you’re not being assessed by someone else would be the only really useful data.
