Art Creations Through All Things In Life

    Everybody has things in life that either helps and builds them as a human being or hurts them. Some people even take the bad and build upon it and learn from it. Take it as a lesson and try to do better next time. Everything that happens to you, you can use it in different ways. Me, I use it to keep making art. For me art is a way to express things. It's a way to send a message, make somebody ponder on a picture and relate to it. When something bad or good happens to me, I use it to build upon what I love to do. Make art.

    Art is a great way to express, relieve, and challenge yourself. You can draw a simple drawing just to show how you feel, or challenge yourself  in trying to push your art ability further. You can use art as a way to show where you've been, and where you want to go. You can use art as a way to show how you feel about anything. A picture is worth a thousand words.

    You can create art with all kinds of things in life. You can use things people have gone through, things you've seen, or things that have just crossed your mind and made you think. You can take a happy moment in life that you saw and create it into a painting or drawing and memorialize it.

    You don't necessarily have to even be good at art to appreciate what it brings to the world. I know people who have admitted to not even being able to draw a stick man but love art in every way shape and form. They love the shapes and lines that come into play, the strokes of mixed paint colors. They love the messages they receive when looking at a piece of art that speaks to them. Art is all of these things to me. It plays a huge role in every day life for me.You can create so many pictures, drawings, paintings, etc.. with everyday things that happen throughout life. When life gives you lemons? Make what you love from it.
