\u201cArt washes from the soul the dust of everyday life.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Pablo Picasso<\/p>\n

Hey everybody, so here\u2019s the deal\u2026 Creating art whether it be paintings, music, Visual, conceptual, artistic design, drawing, graffiti, graphic, performance, photography, sculpture or video (you get the point), they are all a very effective way to stimulate the brain and anyone can do it.<\/p>\n

I hate it when I hear all the misconceptions of Art on this planet\u2026\u00a0 Some say you must be selling your art or must be born with talent to be considered a \u201cREAL\u201d artists\u2026 I call BS (whoops\u2026LOL)<\/p>\n

Many people are taught that this is a perfectionist world and so don\u2019t try unless you are perfect.\u00a0 Again, I call BS.<\/p>\n

Listen take it from me we are all born with a \u201cwant\u201d to express ourselves and most can do this through “some form” of art.<\/p>\n

Much like music, making art in any form can help you express a side of you, you might not do any other time. Like music, where emotions are put into lyrics, you can show emotions in your art. It can help you express yourself and your feelings!<\/p>\n

I remember the first time as an adult I sat down to paint something just for the fun of it.\u00a0 I had no idea what I was doing (I still don\u2019t btw) but I just went with my feelings on a spiritual level!\u00a0 Was my painting perfect \u2013 NOPE \u2013 none of them are but you know what, they all come from a place of telling a story and showing a true sense of love, happiness and imagination.<\/p>\n

There are many ways to express your creativeness for sure and yes it can help your mood!\u00a0 But it can also surprisingly help make you happier!\u00a0 Yup true story!<\/p>\n

Art is for everyone!<\/p>\n

Art is relaxing and rewarding and can lower your stress levels.<\/p>\n

Creating some sort form of art can help distract you from your daily grind. When you get totaling into creating, you can find yourself in the \u201czone\u201d which can help focus your mind and push aside everything you stress about, for a little while.\u00a0 Cool right!<\/p>\n

Here is a good quote for you \u2013<\/p>\n

\u201cPainting embraces all the ten functions of the eye; darkness, light, body and color, shape and location, distance and closeness, motion and rest\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Leonardo da Vinci<\/p>\n

Art forces you to concentrate on details which can help you learn to pay attention more to your environment,… bonus!<\/p>\n

Albert Einstein stated that \u201cCreativity is intelligence having fun.\u201d <\/strong>And boy if that is true we should all be doing more!<\/p>\n

Buddhists create incredible mandalas in sand and then let them be erased\u2026 why, it is like a lesson on life\u2019s changes, as nothing is permanent.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t have to produce fine art to spread love, empathy or happiness all you have to do is express yourself!<\/p>\n

So, there you have it folks\u2026 I could go on and on about the benefits, but, the most important being \u2013 dive into art, any form, allow your creativity to flow and share it<\/span><\/strong>.\u00a0 It will put you in a good mood and if nothing else you will have something to talk about!<\/p>\n

“Do something you LOVE, and I promise you will LOVE what you do!”<\/p>\n

Peace out!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
