For many people, sight is arguably the most prevalent of the five senses in their daily lives. While a common sentiment held today is that we’re often overwhelmed visually, getting to see an especially vibrant and colorful sunset, or a work of art in a museum, can actually be beneficial for our brains. So, why not bring some of that into your own creative projects?
