BLOG SESSION

January 13th, 2018

Good Afternoon Writers, Artists, Blog Readers, Followers & Visitors ~ Just so that we are all clear here today, there is a way for you to jump into the creative zone...

If you were here for our last Blog Session, then you are up-to-date on our thoughts about having a Creative Journal for 2018, and about gearing up to write out your 2018 creative projects.  You also now have an idea of how you can use Post-it Notes to add to your creative flow as you place entries into your Creative Journal.  If you happened to have missed the last Session, you can simply scroll down after the end of this Session to see the last Session.  You may also find all previous Blog Sessions in our "Blog Archive" over in the far right-hand column.

If you are a Writer, then it helps a great deal if you use your artistic talent in addition to your enate literary abilities.  We all have the ability to be creative ~ whether some of us admit that or not.   I'm sure you've heard people say, "I can't draw a lick."  Well, they are wrong.  If you can write, you can draw.  If you can see, you can learn.

Abstract Artists have an area of skill that many art lovers have an affinity for . . .

Abstract Landscape

Does the above drawing look difficult to draw to you?  Does the above drawing invoke feelings that take your mind to another place?

Here's the deal, abstract artworks have a great deal of power.  The reason this is so is because abstract artworks tend to make you "think" ~ they are thought-provoking.

Abstract artworks will ask of you, "What can I make of what I am viewing?" . . .

Abstract Artwork

By Artist Theresa Paden

For some reason, drawing, painting, and even doodling are very relaxing artistic forms that you can practice to enhance the creativity that resides in you.

The above artwork by Theresa Paden is very inspirational.  The colors immediately make you relax, and also bring "hope" into view.  At least, that is the case for me personally.  There is nothing sad nor disturbing about the artwork.

Colors and their arrangement have meaning and stir up the spirit that resides within the viewer.  Depending upon your disposition, you will "see" and "feel" whatever lies within you.  If you are hopeful, you will see "hope".  If you are bitter, you will find that there is nothing appealing in an artwork that would bring joy to another viewer who is joyful.

ART has a way of speaking to your heart, mind and soul.

You are encouraged today to simply grab your Journal, drawing pad, notebook, blank sheet of paper, or whatever you have handy to create an artwork in whatever form you so desire.  If you simply want to doodle, do that ~ then add color with colored pencils or crayons -- you're never too old to use crayons!

The instruction for today is to

OPEN your EYES

and

do a new thing!

See you back here for the next exciting Blog Session! 

Peace, Love & Light
