Art

I don’t really know why I haven’t posted anything about art so far, I think it’s mostly because I’ve been completely uninspired and have been avoiding it completely.

Being a Fine Art major I should probably have an entire list of artists I love and aspire to be. But honestly I have 2 artists that fit that criteria: Agnes Cecile and Lora Zombie.
I should definitely have more (it’s quite embarrassing that I don’t have any more than that). And maybe that was why I wanted to start posting regularly about artists, essentially to enhance my knowledge about the artists as well as trying to gain inspiration from the work that they do.

Art has always been such a big thing in my life. It has been something that has defined me and has been what I have wanted to be since I was a little girl. I can’t help but think, now that I am in university, my love for art hasn’t encompassed me as a person and it hasn’t been what I’ve wanted to focus on. I’ve been avoiding it incessantly because I can’t bear to deal with the fact that I just have nothing to say with my art. Henri Matisse said, “Creativity takes courage” and at this point, I don’t have the courage to suck.

So, soon I will start to write more about art that does inspire me on any level, and will try to be in-depth with my research on the artist as well.
This may be something I do that’s more for me than for anyone else, which is great.

So that is that, and
since I can’t leave out my love for words:
