Welcome to "Art as Therapy," the
podcast that explores how engaging
with art can be a powerful form of
self-care and emotional healing,
inspired by the teachings of Monroe
Beardsley. We’ll examine different
aspects of Beardsley's ideas, from the
emotional aspects of aesthetic
experience to the holistic nature of art
engagement.

Our podcast will discuss Nataniel Willis and his perspective on “Picturesque” and how it applies to beauty.

In this episode, Briana takes over as host of the Exploring Art podcast. Briana, Laura, and Mario discuss the theories that Monroe Beardsley came up with when discussing the effects of aesthetic experience and how art can have positive impacts on people's lifes. This episode opens the discussion about how art should be more used when tackling mental health problems.

On this week’s podcast episode, we dive into the mystery of the perception of human beauty, and we compare it to an unusual species! Join us and see how we compare these to each other to see our point of view on the impossible question. What is beauty and how does someone accurately define it?

In this episode of "Feathers of Fascination: The
Beauty in the Bird World," we're talking about
why some male birds have really bright and
colorful feathers to attract female birds. We
wonder if it's right to say these feathers are
"beautiful" or if it's just that female birds like
them. We're curious about whether birds can
actually see beauty like people do or if it's all
about their instincts for them.
We've got bird-thinking experts chatting about
whether beauty is something that only people
can appreciate or if animals, like birds, can
appreciate it too. We'll look into how scientists
figure out what birds find attractive and whether
the idea of beauty is different for humans and
birds.
The discussion will also touch on some big
questions about beauty. Is beauty something
that's the same for everyone and everything, or
does it change depending on who's looking?
This episode will make you think more about
how we see beauty in the world around us and
how that might be similar or different for other
creatures like birds.

Tune in for insights on enhancing

this episode of "Art and Well-Being" -
your guide to the connection between
aesthetics, creativity, and well-being.

In today's discussion me, Anthony and Samantha
reviewed the information we reserved based on our
case study which we used as the evidence to
evaluate how important art is to a person's well-
being and can it improve well-being or not? That
was the final question. As the result of our
discussion, we all agreed that based on the
research and personal experience plus observations
art does impact mental health. Art and music can
increase a person's mood, make them more
initiative, and creative. By creating your own art you
as a person become not only creative but you learn
how to be in control, how to manage emotions and
trust the process. Besides that art will open up your
eyes about how different we all are, our tastes are
different as well and not every kind of art is good for
every single person. Another great point that we
made is that art can connect people. You can get to
know a lot of new friends by simply talking about
art, creating art together, or just find people with
similar interests.

In this podcast episode Ibrahim, Dana, and
Yipsi talked about the male plumage for birds

bird’s attention. They gave their input and
opinions about several questions about beauty
and the male plumage in birds brought up
throughout the episode.
