In some delusional half-insane dream I had the other day, I came to an important realization about myself.
I already know that Art is my calling in life. It doesn't matter much which medium it is: paint, ink, pencil, writing, poetry; I do it all. But what I came to realize in that dream, and what certainly holds true in reality, is that there are FAR more mediums than the ones I do (I have NO musical talent whatsoever). There's one medium that stands above all others though. And that medium is Creation.
Think about it. I can draw ALMOST anything I could think of. I can paint almost anything I can think of. But what do I have when I've done that? I've created a picture of something. But not the actual thing. To be able to CREATE what I see, now that would be something! To come up with an object and hammer and fold it into existence, THAT WOULD BE ART!
That's what I love about art! it's the compilation of things that weren't there before! But If I could CREATE my own things, create energy and mass, well, what I could do would be limitless.
But alas, I cannot do that. I am no God. But I don't want to be a god. I just want to be the Genesis (Yes, I believe they're separate entities)
Ah, but Humans are so limited. Whatever though, I have something new to add to my list of things I wanna be when I grow up. I wanna be an author, artist, or a creator.
Hey Kayvon! I can totally relate to your post, I've thought about the same exact thing before. Except we excel at entirely different mediums of art. While you cannot play music, I definitely can (it's an Asian thing). Yet while you can draw really well, I possess no such ability. I don't know, I've always wanted to be an artist in that aspect though.
ReplyDeleteWell anyway! I've saw creation as a God's art, but the way you put it, it could very well be true. That's interesting...XD

ReplyDeleteSomething this generation, including me, seriously lacks... creativity and free-flowing ideas. Thank god some of us have tapped into that or it would be lost. Without artists are creators, life would be so much more shallow and we'd be limited to the doldrum life in the physical world.
ReplyDeleteThat would be like... science. (I was thinking about all the genetic modification you would have to do in order to create those giant caterpillar monsters you drew).
ReplyDeletekayvon i think theres a reson your not god. but you still create if you twist your mind drawing is creating you start with a blank page but you end with something you created
