Where has all the PASSION gone?

Art is a salvation for many people with in the world that we live in. Is possess them in a way to live their life in a way that allows them to see everything in a simplistic form and then break down by colors, perspectives, and proportions. It consumes you in a way that shuts out the world and allows the artists to enjoy the “high” that it gives you.
I try to take a piece of that feeling and share it with my art students and allow them to take a glimpse from the artists view. Most humans, any age, lack the confidence to create a single piece of art. The scariest thing to a person about to draw or paint is to look at that blank piece of paper or canvas and make that first mark or line or brush stroke. To some it is more horrifying than a scary roller coaster. I encourage anyone to make that first mark or brush stroke even if it is a doodle, it is a start. Once you make those first marks don’t stop! Keep making marks until something catches your eye. It could be anything or nothing but patterns and shapes.
This is the beginning of one the most powerful combinations within art; Creativity and Imagination and so starts the beginning of the passion that comes from art.
Without these two powerful words there would be nothing in this world to live for. Life as we know would become dull and plain like a blank piece of paper or canvas….
Seek out life and paint it your own color!!
