Emotion

Sometimes expressing ourselves to other people isn't the easiest thing to do. We wish to make people see the way we do with words, but it doesn't always turn out the way we want it to. With art we are able to have them see things from our perspective, but sometimes the perception is different with people. Some people can look at a piece called "Grace" made up of black, gray, and white swirls and see it for face value. However others can look at the same piece and see a soul at peace. While most pieces done with people in them are taken at face value some can see what it was like in their childhood. Everyone can see different things in a piece of art work. Each piece speaks to some people differently, but speak it does. Some pieces tell a story of pain, sorrow and frustration. Others can tell stories of dreams, peace, and laughter. There are some that don't tell stories at all but a truth about our world. Some show racism, destruction, and manipulation. Others show joy, hope, and light. There are pieces that encourage us to take a walk in another persons shoes, or they try take us down memory lane. Some speak of the past while others show hope for a future. Sometimes we are asked to take another look and see an everyday object differently. Art is not only an outlet for the imagination, but an outlet from life. Looking at a piece of art can take you to another world, or show you something you didn't know about ours. When it comes to looking at a piece of art it can speak to every particle inside you and release every emotion you've ever had. Art isn't about only the artist expressing themselves but show the world what they see in their minds eye.
