Writing Challenge Day 3: The Artist's Eye


Well, I've already two days of this writing challenge thing...epic fail. It's going to take some getting used to, but I'll try to be more consistent! Here's today's: June 27

Is there a painting or sculpture you’re drawn to? What does it say to you? Describe the experience. (Or, if art doesn’t speak to you, tell us why.) 

Personally, paintings and sculptures do not excite me much. I've never been able to feel great emotion form a work of studio art. I enjoy looking at it for about a minute, then I proceed to wonder what everyone else finds so intriguing. I do, of course, wish I had a talent for art, but sadly none of my sketches ever turn out looking like what they're supposed to. I guess I'd be good at abstract art, huh? I do like art, I have just never had a painting or a sculpture speak to me.

I have always found more of myself in performing. Studio art has never brought me the same feeling of "Wow. This is amazing." I'm able to be transported out of myself with the help of performing art, and not so much by studio art. I appreciate the time and painstaking detail work that went into it, but it's simply not something I understand. Maybe it's just me, haha.

I have great respect for all of you who love studio art - I wish I had that love. But my heart will always be in performance :)

With love,
Hannah
