The Way of the Art

An imagination is the best blessing one person can ever receive. It’s the ultimate feature of man and no can ever take that away. Your body might be confined but the mind is as free as a bird. That’s how most artist think wherever they may be or whatever they are doing. Their mind is on constant flight that takes them anywhere they want to find that special something to serve as an inspiration in their work converting that simple idea into an elaborated work of art using either pen, pencil, knife or art brush.

Icons like Michelangelo who painted the ceiling of the Sistine chapel, Leonardo da Vinci who made the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper are very talented in this kind of stuff. Making a portrait of a person is not easy as it looks, every stroke you make keeps getting harder and harder. It may not need proportion but the messages have to be visible and understandable by the viewers. The artists brush is more likely to be their best friend as they need them all the time. It’s like a part of their body and personality that represents who they are in the world.

From time to time the way of the art is changing but the soul never changes. Art supplies may change the way they look, there name might be different, the prices may rise an fall but the purpose remains to be the same, for making art and expressing their heart through it. There is an artist in everyone; we just need the right inspiration, right tools and a lot of hard work to show it.
