Why I feel motivated to complete my 1000 Pixel Clown project.
For many creatives, art is the key to expressing their imagination and ideas in a physical form. It also feeds one's creativity and improves one's mood. It also allows one's soul to soar with every stroke of the brush or the pen. This connection between the mind and body is what inspires many people to start an art project. Many people find it a way for them to lift their spirits and allow themselves to explore values that have been important to their lives.
Artistry examines life itself which means its value grows just exponentially when you're creating; often right before our eyes and capturing unforgettable memories in the process!
Having an art project can be an empowering experience where creativity and intuition can be unlocked. It has the power to change one's worldview and increase their sense of meaning in their life.
Art is a deeply personal thing that speaks more intimately than words, and it truly brings people together. Specifically, art projects provide a platform for group collaboration where creativity can be cultivated along with countless opportunities for finding new hobbies and interests.
The same goes for the talents of children sometimes teachers struggle with helping children unleash their amazing potential through creative outlets like art or dance. Artful storytelling is also an amazing way to inspire conversations about service- as well as get some creative time in!
A focused arts program has been shown to increase low self-worth in kids so much that there was a reversal in these feelings after the program ended. Less optimistic, more pessimistic study of first graders in British Columbia, Canada, parents were asked what their children believed about themselves after participating in the arts program "The Magic Treehouse." Parents reported that their children had become less optimistic and more pessimistic about their capabilities compared to before the art program. The results of this study have largely been interpreted as a negative result.“ Across time, the children had lower grades and felt less capable of succeeding academically in the future than before they took part in the project.”
This project showed me where I could relax, calm myself down and work on my inner demons. It was an enjoyable moment, how much better can it be than humor?
This was an art project that I prepared during the course of my month of working with a writing coach. I tried to generate some examples starting with "best" and "worst" which were very revealing, even disturbing. They may have been embarrassing to share but they motivated me greatly to continue pushing myself on a regular basis.

”Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.”
