Episode 7: The Transformative Power of Art

Art is an integral part of St. Anne’s School’s curriculum and that is by design. Art, in its myriad forms, has a transformative impact on the brain, as well as on overall health and wellbeing. The emerging field of neuroaesthetics proves this, and as part of last year’s Head’s book recommendations, the School dove deep into this topic after reading New York Times bestseller Your Brain on Art by Susan Magsamen and Ivy Ross. In Episode 7, members of St. Anne's School's Fine Arts Team explore how exposure to art, art-making, and sensory-rich environments help students feel better, learn quicker, and live life more fully.
