We see a lot of artworks and wonder what it takes to come up with such a beautiful piece. Well, it takes a lot of processes, attitudes, and investment.
But majorly; you need to be creative to be an artist. Interestingly, it has been proven that humans are creative species; that is, everyone has the potential to be an artist if supported.
Everything you need starts off from the power of your creativity. That is the effective use of imagination and original ideas to produce something you love. Still, beyond that, art lets you express yourself in the way you want!
Creativity & Imagination
“Creativity helps innovation and imagination aids invention”
Hence, the first reason you should encourage your kids to exhibit their innate artist skills is the unquenchable application of their imaginations. Then the voice and volume art gives them and the opportunity of producing what they love.
Through the use of their imaginations, they can come up with fresh ideas, and develop the power to face and overcome obstacles of life as they exit the growing stage and enter the door of maturity.
Creativity and Imagination are at the heart of 21st-century advancements; innovations and inventions. Allowing, sponsoring, and encouraging your kids/teenagers to become artist guarantees them as leaders and problem solvers.
Freedom
Art gives the artist amnesty from life imprisonment and slavery. A typical artist is entitled to act, speak, and think as he wants.
Kids who are encouraged to draw, paint, make a craft, become more of risk-takers, experimental, confident, relaxed, and act natural (be their real self) as they enter maturity. Because of freedom, they enjoy from art.
Additionally, they are becoming armed subconsciously with weapons of success, satisfaction, and joy in the real world.
Relief anxiety
The World Health Organization states that a total of 300million people suffered from depression and anxiety in 2015 and the figures continue to grow.
Anxiety is ranked 6th by WHO in the organization list of largest contributors to disability: this is where art comes in. There’s no gainsaying that art is medicinal.
The use of hands, thoughts, mind, time, energy in creating something one is passionate about brings joy, fun which lessens stress and increases the quality of an individual’s health.
So, it is always more than creating art to using it as a Sanctuary (the inspiration behind Segun Aiyesan’s masterpiece), and the technique to stay sane in other areas of life.
Money!
Established and renowned artists have money; it might not be worth the effort it takes to create an exceptional piece of art but is part of the rewarding process.
But! To become a renowned artist like Nike Davies, twin seven seven, your kids must have your support, inspiration, motivation, and resources to fulfill their passion.
Now you know it is more than that drawing, painting, and craft you see on the surface. Art is a therapy that can contribute largely to the level of success, creativity, and productivity of an individual; if exploited effectively and positively.
Are you concerned about your kids?
Then don’t stop them from joining the art departments and clubs in their schools or create art in their leisure time.
A quick question: what can be more satisfying, fulfilling, and rewarding like making a “… legacy out of a hobby”? nasty c ft runtown.
Art makes that possible for your kids and even more than that; these are the reasons why you should promote the innate artistic ability in your kids. @arteasynigeria #arteasy
