| The Benefits of Sketching Sketching is an exercise for the hand, mind, and eyes. Apart from helping you you to chill-out, it has many other benefits: 1. Enhances Creativity. Sketching encourages open-ended thought, creativity and problem solving skills. 2. Strengthens Focus and Strategic Thinking. In addition to creativity, there are cognitive and cerebral benefits to sketching. We use our brains when we draw, and this not only releases endorphins, but helps build new connections and pathways. When drawing, we actively use both sides of our brain, the right for creativity, and the left for logical thinking. This strengthens both and helps develop the ability to focus and think strategically. 3. Improves Holistic Health. Sketching aids in relaxation and stress relief by forcing us to pay attention to details in the environment, which mimics the experience of mediation. 4. Develops Communication Skills. Without words, an artist must find a way to communicate through pictorial representations, and this affords us better decision-making skills. It also provides the ability to better understand feelings and emotions. 5. Helps Coordination. The more we draw, the more our hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills develop. Apart from all that it’s a nice way to spend a day! |
