Everyone an Artist
The idea of "professional artist" should be tossed away. Everyone should feel as an artist does. Everyone should be free to let his or her inner mind speak to her. And everyone is an artist when she does this.
Kenji Miyazawa, from "Life as Art", written in 1926 In our society there is a habitual split between the "talented" artist and the "non-talented" viewer. The Artlife process, in bringing art and life back into one unified whole, throws out the idea of this division and declares that we are all artists, with far-reaching innate creative capacities. To say everyone is an artist does not mean that everyone is a painter or a weaver or a gourmet chef. It means that everyone innately has the ability to express some of the infinitely varied forms of creative possibility. |
