Art gives us the opportunity to really connect with our surroundings and express our feelings. It can also help us reinforce what is important to us in life, such as hope/inspiration or trust/happiness. These connection points can help people keep going in difficult times.
When you're happy, your creativity improves many times due to all of the positive emotions. When you're feeling frustrated, for example, it's easier for your brain to think about different problems it can come up with than it is when you are happy. So creativity temporarily drops when there are frustrations and negative thoughts which come with being upset but like any habit, when there is an event that balances out all the bad events (or lack thereof), like a success or a breakthrough, creativity levels rise again which takes associations in an entirely new level.
