Whether you're an aspiring painter, a budding musician, or a seasoned crafter, we want to hear about your artistic pursuits and creative projects.
From sketching to sculpting, from composing to cooking, creativity knows no bounds and takes many forms. What medium or artistic endeavor speaks to your soul, and what draws you to it? Do you find that your poetic sensibilities influence your other creative pursuits, or do you revel in the freedom to express yourself in different ways?
Join us as we celebrate the boundless potential of human creativity and share in the joy of artistic exploration. Let's inspire each other, swap tips and techniques, and revel in the beauty of self-expression in all its forms.
Feel free to jump into the discussions and share your thoughts, experiences, and creations with the community. After all, creativity thrives in the company of kindred spirits!
My eye hand co-ordination has always been weak. So I was reader rather than doing other crafts or arts. I am a great consumer of them and revel in critiquing the critics. @adamgary you have a great eye for photography. Does photography only project surface images? See there I go.
While the written word has always been my deepest passion (poetry, fiction, personal essays, etc.), Art is a second joy for me. I love using pastels (soft and oil), watercolors, and charcoal. When my writing well dries up a bit, I will often turn to art as a medium to express myself. It gives me the freedom to just be present with creation as a mindful tool. I also crochet and love the feel of yarn between my fingers begging to be turned into something new.
I've always had an affinity to wood. Whether the wood remains upright in a living tree, a piece of fine furniture, a rough board, or scraps and sawdust.
i enjoy woodworking as in making furniture or toys, carving a shape yearning to burst forth from the wood, or recently, I've taken up pyrography.
Thanks Dad!
As you guys know, I’ve dipped into the world of filmmaking, and most recently started charcoal drawings.
It probably doesn’t come under the banner art or creativity, so this probably belongs in the other hobbies section BUT: I’ve really really wanted to get into model making and dioramas…
