Response Post: I am an Artist

     I have learned a lot about art and I think that art can be created by everyone. In Tram's Blog, she talks about how she can't draw good and all her drawing always looks the same:

"I think it is a matter of creativity and acceptance. I always draw the same thing when i try to create a picture. In every drawing of a tree the tree would have a trunk and a green puff on top. My people would have a circle and a couple of lines here and there for the bodies. and my flowers always had five petals. Then on my final products, I could not accept that is looks the way it does. I could not stand that it looked crooked or it looked lopsided. I guess I like the things I draw to look realistic or maybe I was just a control freak"

    I think that art is not meant to be perfect, not everyone draws the same. We all have our own image of what we want to draw out. We might always draw the same thing over and over again, but that doesn't mean that you should change it. Improvements take a long time, and you just need patience in life. Nothing needs to be rushed, just like art. Great artists like Micheal Angelo, Pablo Picasso, and etc, were not born artists'. It all takes practice and time.

     I think that art is really great. It can show lots of meaning without the use of words. Art can tell a story in just the words that are painted in, with the colors and each stroke needed to make a art piece. There is a variety of arts in the world, all created from everyone. Every piece is different and each one has a special meaning to it. If we all drew the same thing, art would be very boring because you are seeing the same thing all the time. What makes art great is that the changes we create and the ways we draw things are the beginning of a new creation.

     I don't think that people should be upset about their drawings. When at least you tried to create an artwork with your best effort, I think that is the most important thing. I personally do not draw good, I also think that I need improvement in my art work, but I am slowly working down that road. There is nothing really to rush about. Drawing is not meant to make you look down on yourself, but sharing your feelings and thoughts out on a paper.
