Art is Magic
And everyone can do it
When we create art, we bring together materials and skill to create something that is more than the sum of its parts. In this way, art adds real value to the world. And that's magic.
We distinguish art from noises and shapes when we find some noises and shapes that make us feel something special. We know art when we feel it
Art is a practice of appreciating and contributing to the complexity of our world. Art exists in dialogue with rules. When we pick up a pen and paper, we are choosing rules to constrain our art. A lot of great art is made through an artist's careful choices about when to follow and when to break the rules
We can find magic and art anywhere that we look with curiosity. And everyone can create art in their life just by putting themselves into their work
