Growing old artistically

The creation  of art requires a complex interplay between brain and body. 
Indeed, the  appearance of a finished piece is intimately linked to both the 
subjective  experiences and mental processes of the artist. Scientists are 
beginning to  appreciate how art can be used to study changes in body and 
mind as  individuals age. This research is opening new doors in both our 
understanding  of the ageing process and the way we diagnose and treat age related 
 disorders.
