Topic > Being an Artist - 1536

Imagine a painting of your life, what colors would there be? How would you show the different moments of your life? Would you shade areas where you had difficulty or use lines to demonstrate this? Being an artist who never really finishes their work would be difficult. When you are young, you are enthusiastic about painting. When you start to get older, all you want to do is visit friends, so you will miss that part of your life. Then you get back on track and work like crazy to make up for the wasted time. But you think to yourself “Will I ever finish my masterpiece or will it be finished when I do?” You start with a blank canvas, with nothing on it, but ready to absorb new information. Soak up the paint like a sponge, like a child soaking up all the information he can. The paint on the brush is your knowledge and you are waiting for the first information you can get. The first line would indicate that you can walk, as the line grows you will start to talk. As your painting grows, so does your knowledge. Learning more and more every day. At this point you don't know what's wrong and what's right, you have no idea what you want to paint. As you sit there you think, then an idea comes to you. You think of the trees and the grass, the water and the sky. You begin to see the images and colors form a beautiful picture. But what to do next? Should you continue to create a masterpiece or let another person show you? You decide to look to see what others in your position would do, and you learn from this to start making your own masterpiece. You start to learn that a little help doesn't hurt. Talk to other people and share ideas. Allow other people to criticize your work. You learn different shapes and sizes, colors and shades. Here... in the middle of the paper... in his life. Her painting will be hers and will show the world what and who she has become. She is you, but different, and will succeed in her own way, as you did, with a little push here and there. One day he will have his legacy to show the world. Great all the same in its own way. Life never ends, it continues even after we are no longer here. You have multiple phases, different times, the world just evolves. It always changes just as our minds change. By painting from young age to adult you will be able to see how your style has changed over the years. You could go anywhere from stick figures to dead portraits. No one ever stays the same throughout their life and your tastes in things change too. For example, your favorite color might be pink when you were little, then when you're sixteen it might be blue. Your life is your legacy, so live it to the fullest.
