It is my firm belief that the ability to be artistic in inherent in the human DNA. Be it any form of art – painting, sculpting, dancing or writing moving music or poetry, creativity is deeply embedded in our souls.
We are all creative if we try. Often, people are fascinated by an art form and have a go at it only to achieve disappointing results in the first few tries. That is only natural because creativity needs to be sharpened, honed and internalized before it can bloom into something beautiful.
Here are a few reasons you should be making some art.
1. Creativity is the mother of success
Cultivating internal creativity is the crux of success. This is irrespective of the field you’re in; you could be an engineer but you should approach your projects with building and creating something that is unique and challenges your potential.
2. Take out TV time and put in Art Hour
Choose to actively engage your mind instead of focusing on being passively amused by something that doesn’t give back.
3. Art can be an infinitely gigantic puzzle
For anyone who has spent hours poring over a puzzle, making art is going to have the same therapeutic value. Making art means that you don’t know what the final outcome is going to be like, but you keep working on something till you are satisfied with it.
4. You will meet more like-minded creators
Art is a wonderful subject that can bring together people from varied backgrounds. Art is the language that every creative in the world speaks.
5. Digital technology makes sharing and connecting so much easier
Today, sharing a picture or video on a social networking site just takes a click or two. The digital platform is a democratic tool that has freed art from geographic borders and so, your art can touch many more lives.
