The Language of Art

Language of Art

Before you can truly appreciate your own art you need to understand the basic language of art. If you don't take the time and effort to learn this language most people give up and won't find joy in creating things. This language is the ability to see the vision of the art in your minds eye.

Take for example a simple toothpick.

Now let it speak in Art:

Original by SAP - Toothpick

If you feel that this is not something that you are very adept at, not worry. The best way to accomplish this is to immerse yourself in what you like, practice and keep exposing yourself to the artistic things that you find satisfying. Before you know it, you'll wake up and it will be as plain as the language you speak - and who knows what your toothpick will look like!
