The University College of London researchers assessed survey responses regarding arts and culture engagement, as well as blood test results from 3,556 participants with a mean age of about 52, using data from the UK Household Longitudinal Study.
People who did an arts activity at least once a week aged 4% more slowly than those who rarely engaged with arts — the same effect size as those who exercised at least once a week compared to those who did no exercise.
— it's published in the journal Innovation in Aging, and the effect was stronger for adults 40 and older, and held up after adjusting for BMI, smoking, education, and income.

Layers and layers, many needing to dry flat overnight.
The goal is a sparkling sunrise on a tiny wave, with a lush, impasto texture.
The junior artists are working on two painting projects as this one requires lots of flat drying time between layers.

It's more often NOT because they always wanted to paint flowers or fruit per se.

To rapidly pull together all aspects of foundational learning, students have been guided towards still life over centuries, because no other genre gives such an opportunity to coordinate areas such as drawing, arranging, designing, building a large skill-set of paint application techniques, colour harmonisation, use of light and shade etc.

Making an object look transparent, reflective, furry, etc asks of us a curiosity as to which brushes, which techniques and layers we may like to try to get the effect we are after. Understanding the elements and principles of design is paramount. Discoveries made along the way can shape our preferences and future creative developments. Modern masters came up with phenominal new ideas and approaches because they had developed these foundational skills over time, allowing them to by truly creative and confidently take their own unique pathways.🤣🤣

(there are so many more reasons, what are yours or have you not got a regular drawing habit yet?)

🟢 To slow my mind down. I spend most of my day reacting — to messages, notifications, other people's schedules. Drawing is one of the few things that makes me sit still, relax and just look.

🟢 To remember how to be a beginner. I'm good at a lot of things now, which also means I rarely feel the particular thrill of being bad at something new and slowly getting less bad.

🟢 To have something that's just mine. Not for work, not for anyone else's approval — a private space where nobody's grading it.

🟢 To see the world more closely. I want to actually notice the way light falls across a room instead of walking through my life half-looking at things.

🟢 To keep my hands busy instead of my phone. I'd rather end an evening with a page of sketches than an hour of doom scrolling I can't account for.

🟢 To process things I can't quite say. Some days I don't have words for what I'm feeling, but I can put a pencil to paper and something honest comes out anyway.

🟢 To build a skill I can keep for the rest of my life. Unlike a lot of hobbies, this one only gets richer with age — there's no expiration date on getting better at drawing.

🟢 To reconnect with something I loved as a kid. I used to draw constantly before "being productive" took over my life. I want that instinct back.

🟢 To have a reason to sit somewhere and do nothing else. A café, a park bench, a train — drawing gives me permission to just be there instead of needing to be doing something "useful."

🟢 To take care of my brain, not just my body. I already work out for my body; I want something that does the equivalent for attention, memory, and creativity as I get older.

Melbourne Art Classes give all students the learning materials to develop their own drawing skills, to whatever end or level they desire and reach for.

Pretty impressive for a second still life!
Using values to give a metallic look is a fun way to build observational skills, brush skills/blending, and here as well as drafting/drawing objects accurately.

In our regular art classes, participants work at their own pace, on their chosen projects, while receiving instruction on all foundation areas of drawing, painting and creating.
