Create Art

I am an artist, creating a masterpiece that is called My Life.

We are all artists, creators of the lives we're leading and many works of art within them. To gain more confidence in your inner artist, look for opportunities to create art for your own pleasure. Consider signing up for a local art workshop, or gather some supplies to create at home.

If you're unsure where to start, try representing your surroundings, favorite things, or current state artistically.

When you're ready to deepen, express a feeling or a memory you'd like to transmit or connect with through art. You can keep your creations simple by drawing with a pen and paper or be more elaborate and colorful with paint, sculpture, or mixed media. You can even be creative about the materials you use to create art by using natural props such as leaves, branches, and stones. Even rock stacking by the river is a form of art! Feel into which artistic modality will allow you to express yourself in the most meaningful way.

What blocks, real or imagined, stop you from making art? What practical steps can you take to work through these blocks?
