The Creativity Project {Art}

The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.

Aristotle

Art is the stored honey of the human soul, gathered on wings of misery and travail.

Theodore Dreiser

 

“Creativity takes courage. ” ― Henri Matisse

The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.

Pablo Picasso

 

My art is very personal to me.

It feels like a risk every time I post images such as these.

It's easy to post what you think everyone wants to see, but that goes against what my soul is screaming out and begging me to create.

I'd like to thank my dear friend Dan from DTB Photography for helping make my vision come true in these images.

I knew what I wanted. I knew I needed help, and I knew he could help me pull it off.

Dan has his own vision and art that he captures so naturally. He has a love for New Jersey and it really shows in his images.

You can find his FB page HERE and his post for this month HERE.

The Creativity Project has truly been receiving some amazing submissions lately. I am really excited to see what {Art} you will all create & share on our FaceBook Page.

Thank you for taking the time to visit!

The Creativity Project {Body Parts, Age}

The theme this month for The Creativity Project is {Body Parts & Age}.

Today I choose life. Every morning when I wake up I can choose joy, happiness, negativity, pain... To feel the freedom that comes from being able to continue to make mistakes and choices - today I choose to feel life, not to deny my humanity but embrace it.

~Kevyn Aucoin

 

Vulnerability is the essence of romance. It's the art of being uncalculated, the willingness to look foolish, the courage to say, 'This is me, and I'm interested in you enough to show you my flaws with the hope that you may embrace me for all that I am but, more important, all that I am not.'

Ashton Kutcher

 

A lot of people resist transition and therefore never allow themselves to enjoy who they are. Embrace the change, no matter what it is; once you do, you can learn about the new world you're in and take advantage of it.

Nikki Giovanni

 

Those who improve with age embrace the power of personal growth and personal achievement and begin to replace youth with wisdom, innocence with understanding, and lack of purpose with self-actualization. Bo BennettI think this theme came at a perfect time in my life.

I saw it in black and white when I took it.

Sometimes the days are long,

That leaves me longing to create images.

Alone in the house,

that leaves myself, Charlie, and Summer.XoXo~

The theme at i{heart}faces this week is Autumn Splendor. It's no news that I have been thoroughly enjoying Autumn in our yard this year! Here is my entry : )

Wait, let me reword that.

Here is Linhsey's entry. She picked this one as her favorite. She said she picked it because it has sunlight and it looks beautiful. Good enough for me!
