Art

Learn to paint what you see, not what you think you see. Biologically speaking, all humans look at art in much the same way. Our genetic make up allows us to see a spectrum of colors. And our eyes, working together with our brains, are particularly attuned to color, shape and detail, and equipped to perceive depth and motion. While scientists understand how our eyes see the world, they know little about how our brains understand and create art. Making art depends on an inborn creative impulse as well as on skills learned and nurtured through culture. Making art shouldn't be a struggle. You're simply "thinking out loud" onto the page, photo-paper, or canvas. Creativity is exciting. If you're not judging while you're making. Nothing is "perfect". Anyone can make art as long as one has imagination and life experiences to draw on. Art is not about craftsmanship, it has to do with feelings and memories. ... A certain portion of art-making comes from the unconscious, that is, not on the conscious level, or premeditated. Personally I feel that the artist can do whatever they want - whatever works. That is one of the appealing things about making art.
