Summer = Creativity.
Now that school is coming to a close and work is also ending, I am ready to spend my summer fueling my Artistry. I have challenged myself to try and do at least one creative thing each day over the summer. This can be, singing, watercolor painting, making jewelry, messing around on photoshop, writing a blogpost, taking photos, or filming YouTube videos; anything that really sparks my creative spirit.
Why am I so eager to discover more of the artist inside of me? Well I recently read an amazing memoir written by an author I happen to know personally. Upon reading his memoir I feel very inspired to shape myself into a well-rounded artist. Performing has always been a passion of mine (obviously), but until I had read this book, I didn't really know what being a true "artist" meant. Now I am eager to try all art forms and discover what I really love, and get inspired by. Now, with social media and Instagram, many teens (especially girls) try to be as "artsy" as they can. It's like a giant competition on who can be the most "artsy fartsy". Well this book taught me that art can really be anything, and that being an artist is very personalized. In art there is no right and wrong. Sometimes the best art is what we don't even share, but what we keep to ourselves, and do for ourselves, not just to show off on social media. I really encourage you to read "The Bohemian Love Diaries" written by the super cool Slash Coleman, it really gave me a great perspective and changed my life. Here is the link: The Bohemian Love Diaries on Amazon . Seriously, GO BUY THIS BOOK! It is laugh-out-loud funny, and just filled with heart and soul. Slash is an amazing story teller and I have had the honor of seeing him do live readings more than once.
So hopefully (if you keep up with me) you will be seeing a giant spurt of new content! New YouTube videos on my channel, new art on my blog and my tumblr, and new blog entries!
Can't wait to make this summer memorable!
