But there is one thing about art that is common to all,
it needs to be shared.
The Mona Liza forgotten in an old barn would be, worthless. Great works of art locked up in vaults are of no value to anyone, including their owners. A scratchy drawing stuck to a fridge door from a 3 year old to his parents, priceless.
Art is the language of emotions, it expresses thoughts and feelings which cannot be put into words, or any other context for that matter. How else could one express a dance, a song, a sculpture.
For many people, art is the only way they can speak in public, not everyone has the communication skills of actors, not everyone can articulate words like speakers, not everyone can use the same type of pen to write with.
Like all forms of communication, not everything should be shared with everyone. Some things are best kept private, others shared with people of your choice, as for rest, share what you wish without the fear of judgment, criticism, analysis, or comparison. If what you have to say is genuine, there will be those who will feel nothing, those who will smile and perhaps some who will take the time to thank you.
Art can be about showing off, pretending to be something you are not, an ego trip, a way of making a living.
It can also be your voice to the world.
ART, one of the most difficult words in the world for people to agree upon, for one very simple reason.
Art is many different things
to many different people.
