Creating Art and Choosing Your Path

Why should you create art? Art, while some may see as unnecessary, adds value and color to our existence. We are able to express our inner selves through a creation of a painting, song, drawing, or sculpture.

You don’t necessarily have to create art as a career/ by profession. Many people of different career fields all over the world create art for the expression, enjoyment, and exploration it brings.

Choosing Your Path

 If you explore your self and your interests, and try different things, you’ll discover the path you would want to take. There are also a lot of resources available on the Internet that could help you choose.

Whether it’s a pen, a brush, or an acrylic roller, we’d most likely suck at making art at first. Acknowledge that your a beginner, and keep practicing. Treat your hobby as a second career, showing up no matter what, while building your own inspiration.

Seeing Beyond Aesthetics and Attractiveness

Art takes skill, and we start with very little of it. It’s up to you whether to aim for your art to be as technically perfect as possible, or as a means to express yourself without aiming for some sort of “master” level. Although being skilled at what you do has a lot of benefits (and being able to do a lot more is always good), it is still up to your choice. 

Art detaches us from the common toils and definitions, the successes, and just lets things be. If you’re bored, learn an art, don’t be discouraged, and just keep going!
