Through One's Eyes

Through One's Eyes

I have started this new thread for others to share and enjoy The World of Art. The title is a reflection on the many different views and ways of seeing art that is very subjective to the viewer.

Anyone can share a piece they have produced, are working on or would like to one day 'get around to doing'.

Many 'forumites' use art as a form of therapy or grounding/coping strategies - so please also share your experiences of these also.

It is also a place to discuss what people like, dislike are drawn to and the feelings ellicited from producing and viewing any pieces.

Feel free to add images or topics of discussion and enjoy the wonderful world that we can share through Art.

WhenI tried the forum one, I only got the word "heart" too.

Can you find the Settings icon on your iPad's desktop (first screen when you turn it on) ?

Re: Through One's Eyes

Hi there,

I quite often use art as a way of grounding myself or escaping my own depressions or problems I have dealing with our home situation of having our 24 year BPD daughter living with us. I've also tried to encourage her arty side too , she loves manga type art and is quite good at it, however at the moment is obsessed with pokemon go and a new relationship , so everything else tends to fall by the wayside for her.

I'm a silk textile artist and am lucky enough to sell some work on line but really its a precious hobby that allows me to escape my own mind sometimes which is always filled with worry these days. I am trying to not resent the fact that my art room is now my daughters bedroom so I've had to rejig the whole house, but trying to not be selfish minded about it and just take comfort in the fact that she is safe and not on the streets.

Re: Through One's Eyes

Hi @Ceres ..... 😊

I am a painter and it's my sanity preserver at the moment. My kids are all arty too .....

I hear you. My husband's illness, only half-diagnosed as yet, has impacted heavily on my ability to invest in my artistry. That said, I am in a better place with it than I have been for quite some time, and thankful for small mercies.
