The beauty in art!
I have never really thought of myself as an “art” person. Don’t get me wrong I do appreciate art and every now and again I like pretending I know what it is all about, being all hoity toity. I like things that are beautiful of course, but sometimes people want to pass something off as “art” that I simply just don’t get….never mind get sometimes it is downright UGLY!! So with my theme of beauty this week I had to really look into all shapes and forms of beauty and one of them is art.
Art is a form of expressing an inner emotion that in a simple way is beautiful. Even if the art itself is not painted with the brightest colours, it is not what the painting is that makes it beautiful; it is seeing what the painting represents…the emotion it is made of. Understanding this in a way makes me envious of “art” people as they are able to see the inner beauty and emotion of someone as they have expressed it in a very public way.
Have you ever made “art”? If not, why not? Every day I work with people that have so much beauty in them, beauty they can give to the world, but choose to hide because of how the world has judged that beauty. If these individuals were just able to, through art, express who they are they might just discover the beauty in them.
