Does art create you or vice versa?
What art does to the human spirit is left up to the imagination. Breath taking architectural designs, lush waterfalls, great paintings, amusement parks, entertainers, playwrights, spirituals teachers all provides inspiration and the medium to bring forth art.
Artists exist in every medium you can think of. From painting, drama, poet, writer, yoga, meditation, scrap booking, singer, play writer, etc.
What is art?
Art is indefinable. Art is unique to itself. You cannot place it in any one medium. People, places, and time influence art. Art penetrates the deep depth of our emotions. It is the window to our soul.
Carolyn Nelson bluntly puts it," Today, my work comes from my deep connection with the native peoples of the Sierra Madre. The emotions and experiences of being among them seems to blend with my early foundation in European Impressionism and forms itself like tapestry, rich in color and tactile" sensation (http://artamerica.com/Nelson/).
Art forces the artist to use the five senses whether it is painting, drama, graphic art, yoga, meditation, writing and the list goes on…
Art is a spiritual awakening that bridge different times and periods. A big influence on our socio-economic and political system. It celebrates current trends and sometimes reflects on history for inspiration.
In essence, you cannot separate the past from the present when you look at art. Art builds interaction among people. Some work of art ponders the mind and leaves you in shock, appreciation, and sometimes disgust. This is what art does. It celebrates human achievements.
Art tells its own story. It lends itself to oneness and brings magic by displaying wishes and restraint. Art is multidimensional. Opinion differs based on the viewer.
Art is Science
Art represents all medium. It challenges popular beliefs, and take you on an exploratory journey. Art makes you experience something on a deeper level. It is like having an orgasm. Art pushes outer limits and meshes past with present. Art has strong emotions.
