Art and Eyes: Relax eyes with greens & blues discussed young artists in Indore
Art has an effect on eyes and it can channelize not just positive emotions but also relax the eyes from strain. This was the theme of discussion among young artists in Create Stories National Art Exhibition from various schools in indore on Sunday.
In a discussion over art, young artists from Indore and across the country gathered at Canarys Art Gallery, Indore for a national art exhibition hosted by organiser Deepak Sharma.
Further, chief guest ophthalmologist Dr Amit Solanki chaired and led the discussion giving details about various facts and myths of art’s effect on eyes.
Some takeaways from the discussions were:
• A 2017 study reported in the scientific journal PLOS ONE showed that blue lighting leads to post-stress relaxation three times as quickly as conventional white lighting.
• This happens due to the short wavelengths of cooler colours. Our cornea is easily able to perceive such colours and help in relaxing tired eyes.
• Hence, greens and blues are the most relaxing to our eyes.
• It often happens with us that whenever we start looking at any one color continuously, then we start feeling strange tiredness in our eyes.
• If seen from a scientific point of view, our eyes have been biologically constructed in such a way that it is basically capable of seeing red, green and blue colors. The human eye can recognize millions of other colours made from the mixture of these colours only.
Child artists beware of these habits:
• Squinting eyes: slanting or moving your eyes inwards or outwards while painting.
• If there is difficulty in recognizing or seeing colors, not being able to concentrate or focusing on the art object, then there may be an error in the vision.
• If an artist is painting or drawing with full lean then his/her eyes become numb. This results in future problems.
• Head tilting – If the artist tilts or shifts his face while concentrating or focusing, or if he covers one eye due to the appearance of a double object, then it is possible that the artist suffers refractive error.
