My Art Story

I have never really pondered on the question “What is Art?” To me it’s just a way to express yourself and there are MANY different ways to express yourself.  You can express yourself through drawing, painting, acting, writing etc. The list doesn’t stop. Making crochet sweaters is art, putting together an outfit is art, the way a person likes to take pictures is art, appreciating nature is art. Art has no limit. It’s filled with imagination, expression, it’s complexed to where one may have indefinite answers to what they . Such as a passing cloud can look like a bunny to one person and a smiley face to someone else. When we talk about Art the possibilities are endless!

“Aesthetically Pleasing” is the way I fit art into my life. I find pleasure in things that look “nice” but what does this even mean? Objects and locations that have/ contain soft textures, pastel colors, floral prints and coordination.  I try to incorporate these things into my daily life. Such as I will try to take all my pictures outdoors because I like the way it looks. How nature can spruce up a picture. I especially like taking pictures in front of flowers to make everything look softer. I hope to learn about how overtime art evolves. How culture plays a role into the type of art that was produced over time.
