What is Art?

Art has been around for almost as long as human kind. Nobody's art is the same, each person has an individual style. If you want to be an artist, paint something, draw something, do something that makes you feel creative, you are now an artist. No work of art is ugly, it's simply art. Also, it's not that you can’t draw, everybody can draw, it’s just you’re not reaching to your full potential.

People may think of art as just a drawing on paper or a sculpture in a museum, but art is more than that. Music is art, film, theatre, technology, languages, food, weather, animals, the earth and the universe; people are art. Art is so much more than just colours on a canvas.

There is architecture, animation, photography, fashion and web design, graffiti, conceptual art, they’re all considered art.

Art can also be a form of communication. Emotions, feelings, they can all be communicated through art. The way you paint a picture, what colours you use, the image you are trying to create, it's all about expressing yourself, how you feel, what’s going on inside your mind and how you see things.

The visual arts are an easy and accurate way to show people who you are, and there are so many ways to go, don't just think of it as pencil and paper.
