Renew Your Spirit Through Art
The world has gone crazy! With all of the negativity and illness in the world today I have given up on watching any news outlets - I just can’t take it. It puts me in a bad mood and I would rather be happy. Rather than having my attention on what’s going on in the world, I turn my attention to making things.
I’m a maker and I have always been. The making mostly revolves around creating art, but I have also recently made a planter, a trellis, a fence and helped a friend put together a gazebo. For me, it’s all about making something with my hands. Creating is the most elemental thing. People have been making things during our whole existence. People have been making art for nearly 20,000 years. The cave paintings in Lascaux, France are believed to have been made 17,000-18,000 BC.
Those of us that are makers are very lucky indeed. We can create something from nothing. We can retreat to our studios or workshops to escape what is happening in the world and focus on creating. We can temporarily get lost in another world - a world of beauty. We can come out of those same studios and workshops refreshed with renewed spirits.
Once you have created something, please get out there and share it with the rest of us so that we can enjoy what you have created. Today, that sharing will probably happen online rather than in person, but that’s OK. I look forward to seeing what you make!
