The A's of Art

Imagine a world without art, no music, no dance, no colors, no novels and no films. This would be a boring world, right? But luckily, this isn't our world and it is all because of art. Though, some may not see it, art contributes to a lot of things in our life. Some that matter and some that do not. Art may help us and heal us in many ways. I know some may think that art is useless, believe me, I did too. But, then I realized that we humans are art and because we matter, art matters. Well if you think about it, coming from a Christian point of view, God created us, he is the artist who put His everything including his feelings and emotions in creating us. See, so art existed even before we existed.  

I grew up in a very artistic family. My dad is very good at sketching and drawing, my sister and I love to paint and I love drawing too. I began doing art to have fun or just get my thoughts out of reality. Well, to be honest, I wasn't really good at drawing or painting but I enjoyed doing it. To me, doing art is about relaxing and just letting loose, instead of trying to be perfect all the time. It's about escaping the world of how others think about you and opening your own world where your opinions matter. No-one is perfect. Art helps you to accept yourself for who you are and not for someone others would like you to be. Art is about accepting your imperfect self, knowing that everyone else is not perfect too.

Thinking too much about school, work and family may get really stressful. Doing art may help to reduce this stress and allow you to relax and take life slowly. Art is about slowing down your thoughts and feeling to put them together in a creative way. If you have a lot of worries on your mind, you will always be overthinking and obsessing over things that don't actually matter. I am someone who worries a lot, about how I dress, how I act, how people see me and what they think about me. Art calms me down so that I  don't  think too much about it. Art allows my mind to be stress-free and without worry.

I think art is something worth doing. It is worth your time, creativity, effort and hard work. Art reflects your heart and whatever may be in it. I chose to write about art because it is fun, it helps you in different ways, it can showcase your beliefs and cultures, it connects you to others and  it can communicate your inner thoughts and feelings in an amazing way.
