Today, I'd like to alter the famous quote, 'Beauty is in the eye of the beholder' by saying, "Art is in the eye of the beholder", and where there's art, how can beauty go missing? I feel, Imagination is the mother of all the art there is. I even have a T-shirt that says 'Imagination takes you places'(SO TRUE).
For creating Art, all you have to do is Imagine! The resources for making Art are actually Free. You are the raw material. You are the process and finally you are the Masterpiece. I'll tell you a secret about how to enjoy art to the fullest. Just remember these words:
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE GOOD AT IT.
As a child, I always dreamt of becoming a dancer, a good dancer. I wanted to dance in award shows or become a background dancer. I had daydreams about choreographing a song for Madhuri Dixit. If 'High Hopes' was a person, it was me. It's okay. You can laugh on this.
Growing up, I lost touch with professional dancing, or rather I caught myself shying away from my very first love, Dance. To me, dance has always been about expressing. It is about portraying all your emotions in a performance.
Something that I realised later on is that I never left Dance in the first place. What I left behind was the Stage, the rangmanch and the audience.
Do I still Dance? : Yes
Is there any audience: No
Where: Inside four walls of my room (With doors closed)
Do I enjoy: YES.
Call me crazy, but this is how I pursue my childhood dream. The audience, my eyes can see it. You'll be surprised to know. Everytime it is a different audience. I change locations to feel different every time. Due to the early occurrence of senior citizen problems in my 20's, my joints pain sometimes(a lot of times) and I can't move. But In my head, I'm still dancing with a straight face on display.
Dance gives me the instant facial glow with a sweat induced highlighter on my cheeks(You know what I mean). The satisfaction and joy are inexplicable.
Singing, Drawing, Colouring, Writing follow the same pattern. If you're not a professional artist, You can still be the one who colors out of the lines, who writes the wrong grammar, but doesn't fail to express, who dances his/her heart out anywhere, anytime; the one whose not-so melodious voice reaches all the top floors through the bathroom channel.
Recently, I took a brush and painted randomly. To see those strokes coming from all directions and filling the page with colors was a bliss. I don't hesitate to crack my silly jokes in front of anyone. Even if one person laughs on them, that's it. It makes my day. If nobody laughs, I laugh. That is enough.
I didn't know how to end this blog, but I wrote it anyway. You just have to remember, by creating Art, you are not solving anyone's puzzle. You're solving your own puzzle. So even if all the parts don't fit correctly, it is still yours.
Enough Gyaan for today.
Keep Smiling, Laughing, and Living to the fullest.
Until Next Time.
