An Expression Of Art For Every Person

19 Dec, 2011Art, Expression

Everyone has the ability and talent to express themselves through art. It is an age old way to release emotion, provide a visual history and have fun. If you follow your own desires and do not compare your creations to what you think the world would like, then you will enjoy your artistic experience more. It is an expression of something that we are born with and each creation is special. It provides insight into the soul and brings visual pleasure to the creator.

So let yourself go and find your own way into the world of personal art expression. Through the years and generations of human existence, art has taken many forms. Pictures are the first thing most people think of when they hear the word art. But it comes in the form of music, stories, pictures, sound, objects, placement of various pieces and a collection of colors. It can be a very personal expression and each form is different. By letting yourself explore the many forms of art, you can create some wonderful fun for yourself and your family.

For the person that feels they have no talent, they need to relax and think again. Begin with a collection of small wooden blocks in different colors. Once you have at least two blocks, place them on a shelf in a way that appeals to your own sense of satisfaction. Add new blocks from time to time in different colors, the same color, various shades of color and maybe different sizes and shapes. You are creating your own visual pleasure of art and each time someone views it they will look forward the next expression of shape and design you create.

This can be done with items from nature like rocks, pebbles, shells, small branches and leaves. Other items you can use are marbles, pieces of cloth, mirrors, gift items or you can mix and match to create a personal focal point. Everything is acceptable if it is something that gives you pleasure and a sense of peace and beauty.

Collections through the years have included bottle caps, origami, gift cards, bottles and dried flowers. You can choose to begin a collection with predetermined size objects you find while walking in your own neighborhood. It is art.

If you would like to express yourself through the written word, but feel you are not talented enough or do not have the time, all is not lost. Create your own version of the written word by limiting each creation to a 4 line poem. It can be funny, gentle, expressive or loving. In only 4 lines you can create a large collection of art expressions on feelings, emotions and the world around you. You may even create enough to fill a small book, written and created by your own mind.

Everyone has the ability and desire for creating art. Once they are able to find a way to create something that makes them happy and not worry about the opinion of the rest of the world, their art will take on a life of its own. It will become a part of you and a legacy for the future. Leave a piece of personal art for friends, family, children and grandchildren for memories and happiness when you are gone.
