Art for real people…

Allowing visions and ideas to remain trapped on an aimless carousel in your brain capsule, is a common counter-productive habit. Whether or not the excuse may be lacking confidence to fulfill standards for the execution, or just making time to explore your creative desires- we end it now. Any preconception-shaped tumor of what you believe art may be is now extracted. There are no rules, boundaries or censorship in art.

Approaching 2011 on the cusp of yet another year of worshipping YouTube, the average person has the fingertip accessibility of discovering wide-ranges of cultural avant-garde material that may otherwise fall by the wayside when challenged by a sterile gallery banking on fads in Pop/Contemporary Art. Something to remember is that everything is subjective. Virtually everything could be considered art; pornography, food presentation, all forms of dance, utilitarian objects, body mutilation, landscaping, public installations on walls, subway stations, the sidewalk, repurposing trash, tattoos, even laser light shows are considered art.

As much as some critics and scholars have argued throughout history, there is no art divinity placing things on one side of a hypothetical golden gate. Creating and sharing is the epitome of our only epic freedom of expression and exchange of conversations in our minds. If only one thing could encourage you to have a positive affect on your progression- do not hold back. Time is non-linear as we now know, everything is happening at once, so do now.

One of the most unfortunate assumptions, especially in America, is that if you lack training or rendering skills, you cannot be an artist successful in your own right. Although we know that in this day and age you do not need to be a composer or a classically trained pianist to make amazing music, it is practically the same concept. Even people without hands make art and music. Even though our society kneels before our genuinely exasperated quality of what we reign “Pop Music,” where some artists need not know how to play an instrument or read music for record companies to profit off of their image alone, this does not translate any less validity to learning or experimenting in the basics of creating in the two dimensional, three dimensional, and fourth dimensional realms.
