This blog is about my thoughts on teaching art. It is my musing, and it is what I share to help a student learn what I know about painting, which does not begin with techniques of painting.
It begins with Seeing. Noticing. Decision making. With how we begin or finish anything.
And it includes acknowledging Creative endeavors as inviting LIFE FORCE energy to flow through us in order to make something out of nothing.
Yes. Any time you stand or sit with the directive to create, it is like a prayer to a higher power, a creative all, to the great spirit or God, what ever you want to call the source of all, that you request energy beyond yourself to flow through you, to not be hindered by your mind, in order to allow your hands to create a gift to you and those who see it.
I believe this is why people enjoy creating, because doing so evaluates them to a more calm inner peace of mind and heart. Even if their creative moments are fierce and intense.
