I love watching little kids create art. They haven't been constricted by art rules or the dawn of realism where everything needs to look "real." They just create with a blissful happiness. There are times I cringe as I watch them joyfully mix colors that I know will turn to a muddy brown/green. In those moments I have to stop and remember that they have a freedom that many of us lost long ago. They have an uninhibited creativity that allows them to throw caution to the wind and truly explore the medium they are using.
Throughout the weeks I've been creating for this blog I've caught myself wondering if I should get focused in my media choices and stick to what I know. On the other hand, I love the idea of creating with the joyful glee of a child and throwing caution to the wind, exploring all the creative world has to offer. I don't know that there is necessarily a "right" or "wrong" answer. There's benefits to both. For the time being, I think I'm going to continue exploring, learning, and trying new things. There's time for a more focused project next year, right?
