You can’t really teach empathy
But exposure to other minds certainly help
Nothing creates the required level of exposure into the minds of others than art
Art promotes empathy
Any work of art is a peek into the creator’s mind
A vehicle to a frozen state in another person’s mind, in a moment in time
For a second, minute, or hour, it’s the closest connection to feeling what someone else is feeling
A subtle and warm reminder that others see the world differently from us– and that’s a beautiful thing.
