・Why do we display art in hospitals, welfare facilities, and medical institutions?


Have you ever experienced a movie, painting, music, etc. that moved you deeply or strongly touched your heart?


Art has the power to move people's hearts.

Medical institutions are places where many patients attend for various reasons, as well as doctors and nurses who provide treatment and nursing care while working hard. There may be some people who inevitably feel depressed or feel depressed due to fatigue.


In order to improve such spaces, things called "art therapy" and "hospital art" have been attracting attention in recent years!


It is said that simply adding abstract paintings or other decorations to the walls or hanging paintings in the waiting room not only brightens up the atmosphere, but also creates a calming place for patients and helps keep workers motivated.


So, what kind of art is displayed in medical institutions?


・What kind of art is recommended for displaying in hospitals, welfare facilities, and medical institutions?


When you hear the terms "art therapy" and "hospital art," it sounds like something formal or difficult, but it's actually not that formal.


When displaying art, I think the most important thing is to be considerate of others, ``what kind of space do you want the place to be, and what kind of feelings do you want it to make?''


Instead of trying to force yourself to make a big picture or fill the entire wall with art, start by placing a small picture on the wall.

I think that alone will instantly brighten up the space!


This time, let's take a look at how to choose art pieces that can calm you both visually and psychologically!


Part 1: Choose based on the effect the color brings

One of the effects of relaxing us is the influence of the ``colors'' that we usually see.

For example, blue and light blue feel cold and are associated with the sea and sky. These are said to be good to wear when you want to calm down or concentrate on something.

In addition, red is a color that gives off a feeling of fire and warmth, so it is said to be good when you want to liven up your mood or raise your spirits!


In this way, the mood of the receiver changes depending on the impression that color brings.

Wear cool colors such as blue and light blue when you want to calm down , such as when studying or having an important meeting , and wear warm colors such as red and orange when you want to liven up your mood , such as when you want to play with people or make a big statement without getting nervous in front of others. It might be a good idea to use them differently, such as Mato!

Paintings and furniture in soft pastel colors can also be effective in areas where many children gather, or colors that calm the mood of the people in the space.



Part 2: Abstract painting? A figurative painting?

There are various genres of painting, but there are two genres: ``abstract painting'', which expresses one's own world without being bound by actual shapes, and ``figurative painting'', which realistically depicts landscapes, still life, etc. .

Which one should you choose? However, in reality, there is no correct answer...


The impressions that paintings give vary depending on the person who looks at them, such as some people who like abstract paintings that are drawn freely, and others who feel calm when looking at figurative paintings such as landscapes and still lifes.


It is important and effective to ``incorporate pictures and art into an empty space,'' so think about ``what kind of atmosphere do you want the space to have, and how do you want the people who use it to feel?'' Please keep this in mind when choosing a picture!


・Can you create original art that matches your image?
