One of my goals as an artist and as the creator of this website is to try to demonstrate that art means so much more than the definition that Google so helpfully supplied.   

 

 

Art

 /ärt/ noun

  The expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a  visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily  for their beauty or emotional power.

 

This basic definition does not even begin to cover the mass importance such a thing, like art holds. Art is an outlet for so many people to express themselves. It is also something that often times goes unnoticed. For example in everyday tasks, such as writing your introductory paragraph to a social studies essay, or taking your morning selfie, art is never given any credit. Both of those simple things hold an element of art all on there own. I can not put enough emphasis on the significance that art plays in most everyone's life.   

 

As an art student my creative mind has developed immensely. Especially as a photography student, I now think before I snap a photo of the beautiful flower about the composition and light exposure. The possibility of me becoming a professional photographer are very slim but the things I have learned in this class with continue to impact my artistic life on a daily basis for the remainder of my life.

 

One of my biggest creative inspirations would be people. I believe people are there own genre of art. How we interact, how we behave when we are around certain people or even alone, there is such beauty in capturing people.  Similar to my inspiration art comes in a variety of shapes, sizes, colors, and cultural influences.
