Why is Art For Me?

Tweet

When I'm sketching, or painting, I feel a sense of peace and purpose. Unless the art piece isn't being made for someone else, once it's being created I am very determined for the piece to turn out as my perfection. I "really" believe art is very therapeutically useful in so many ways. For example, I felt like I could explode , because I was angry, because of a situation that esculated I had no other way to release the adrenaline I had running through my blood, so I got out a piece of paper and felt more angry because I didn't know what to draw. I decided to look up anger (google) and selected images, I came across a picture of a women who looked exactly the way I felt. I started to draw, it ended up looking amazing. It was the same kind kind of release, someone else would be gratified by running and or working out. I shared this photo with friends on Facebook and received a lot of different responses. After the portrait was finished I felt free of my anger, literally felt like I channeled the anger right to the art piece. I felt so calm I was able to sleep peaceful and relaxed. I have so many more experiences to share. My next one will be about my experiences as a mother who lost her kids because of $
