The Action of Creativity

Our creative drive

***

What are your actions towards being creative...

why do we make art?

***

Are we born with raw talent...

or

do we develop a skill for the craft 
driven by a passion for it...?

***

My theory...

I believe

that everyone has the ability to be creative.

It is human nature to be self expressive.

Anyone 

who makes the statement "I am not creative" is wrong.

To be a human being is to be a creature of creativity.

You mean to tell me...

during their whole life time
not once...

have they ever expressed themselves ?

***

Never once,

 wrote a thank you note to someone dear...

Or

perhaps 

baked some homemade goodies, 

as a way to show how much they care... ?

These are some pretty basic examples of self expression...

but

they are still showing creativity.

Art

creativity

 and 

the freedom to be self expressive 

everyone

is capable of.

***

You can make anything you want!

If it is pleasing to you... that is all that matters.

It was time well spent, 

you actively engaged your mind in something that was productive,

and

created something "artsy".

Weather you choose to share  it with the rest of the world...

is strictly up to you!

We are hard-wired for creativity.

It is just a matter of discovering yourself, 

and

giving yourself permission to devoting the time 
towards the specific craft which draws you in.

Your driven passion!

Taking action with our creative process is very exciting.

It is perhaps one of the most rewarding feelings you can experience-

Creating something original from within yourself...

Giving new life, meaning, and purpose

to something 

old

used

or

 from reusable materials 

to share with the world purely for intrinsic value...

priceless!

***

Why do I make art...

Getting lost in the moment while creating art

 is liberating beyond anything else I have ever experienced.

A true sense of  freedom!

During hours spent alone...

 engaging in my creative tasks,

my thoughts and mindset will shift...

into a state of peace, freedom from stress, anxiety, and negativity.

Art

is my personal healer.
