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.

Re: Through One's Eyes

I'm an artist. Writer. I sometimes just sit and ponder. For no reason, other than I am thinking about things. It could be one things or a few things. Usually I'm do far away that everything around me is not really there and I slightly jump to attention if someone says my name.

Art is very much freedom. Freedom for the artist and freedom for the viewer. The medium doesn't matter, it is the same. The written word, painting, photography, poetry, music and do forth.

Every single artist has a meaning for each piece. It is rare to see any medium with an attachment of the artists meaning upon release of their work. The viewers are going to interpret it how they wish to. What one person thinks and sees is going to be different from another. We all see things differently. Art and life work together in unison this way.

So, it's freedom. To stifle it would be limiting creativity. People go to art galleries and look at works. They think about things. Rarely us an explanation for any work of art offered.

Unless it is explicitly about the autobiographical works of any artist, then perhaps so. Art is very much freedom. That's as far as Ii have ever really gotten with my private thoughts about Art and freedom.

Just completed this for a friend who had a special birthday. First one I did this year took me quite sometime as they are quite challenging to get everything to 'fit' and look okay.
I have just done three in a week and my mind is exhausted by wanting to keep going at the same time!

Re: Through One's Eyes

I love it too @Former-Member .... 😊

I find that cropping my pics, just ever-so-slightly, stops them from posting sideways. Don't ask me why ...... it just does.
