On August 2nd, the United States celebrates National Coloring Book Day annually to promote the practice of coloring among adults so they can relax during this time.
Coloring is an ancient art, as we can see that even during the troglodytes period, people drew various pictures and symbols on cave walls to convey a message.
In many cultures worldwide, coloring is a prevalent practice and plays an essential role in history. In various cultures, such as Japanese culture, art is an integral part of their culture, and throughout history, European history has been told through artwork to successive generations.
Colors, however, were mainly tagged as child actors when they were released in the modern world, so even today, many people associate the art of coloring with children.
Nevertheless, people often forget about the prominent artists who had a hand in painting, coloring, and so forth. This includes Leonardo da Vinci, whose famous Mona Lisa painting we are all familiar with, Pablo Picasso, and Claude Monet. Despite this, they are often not credited as much as other famous people. This is because people still do not admire the profession of arts and crafts like painting and coloring as highly as other occupations. Still, they should also be respected and loved as much as others.
As everyone’s life gets busier, the practice of coloring is becoming more and more popular among adults as well, especially when they have free time during the day.
According to various studies and reports conducted recently about this, it has also been proven that coloring can help reduce stress as it gives the brain a feeling of relaxation, so it seems that even from a scientific standpoint, coloring can help you maintain a healthier lifestyle, and we all know how much kids love coloring, so let’s refresh our memories of coloring on National Coloring Book Day so we can live out our childhood experience with no regrets.
