Art, what is it really?

How do we define art? For many it is an expression of human creative skill and imagination produced in a visual form like painting, drawing, sculpture, music, dance, poem, photograph, stage play, creative writing, movie and many more.

It has a myriad of meanings; however, whether it is traditionally or digitally made, the goal of creation is the viewer's appreciation.

We can see art in nature. As opposed to humans creations, it takes its form through creative controlling force in the environment. Look at the stars in a moonlit night, the break of dawn, glowing light from the sky at dusk, forms of clouds like cotton, falling rain and snow.

Here on the ground, we find rocks of different shapes, sizes and colors, trees, plants, flowers, mountains, hills, lakes and rivers. Don't miss out on the sight of a dewdrop on a foggy day, flowers that bloom at night, feathers flying through the wind. Then, the ocean, with its bluish green color, waves rolling to the shoreline.

There's more to see under the sea, the reef corals, and an abundance of colorful ocean creatures. I could go on and on. It's a wondrous world. Take your time to look around and appreciate what you see. I believe there is an artist in all of us.
