Create Art with Purpose - I've Got News for You!
If you want to create ART WITH PURPOSE…
then I’d love for you to join me and let’s make art together! I’ve started a YouTube Channel called Pocket Dreams Art, and my vision is to build a community of like-minded artists who love to create art with purpose. I’ll share ideas of art projects with themes such as Motivation, Contentment, or Joy, or think of someone who needs a smile and we will make something special to brighten their day.
I think we artists often get discouraged and think just because no one sees our art, it doesn’t matter much. I beg to differ! Your art can change the world! “How?”, you say. Art with meaning motivates us to live our life in a better way. When we look at art AND know the story behind it, we are reminded of the message and it lifts our soul. Not only that, but when you give your art (or sell) to other people, it has the same effect!
Question: Why did I start a channel? I’ve realized that I am an IDEA GENERATOR. Or, maybe I have Art ADHD. It seems that every single art technique, material, medium, project, or new art book comes out - I have to dive straight in and declare " it’s my thing!” Maybe it’s only FOMO, but for whatever reason, I am bursting inside to share with you all the excitement and enthusiasm and buzz I feel for ART!
Do you feel that buzz too? Do you have the urge to create, but just want some ideas? Do you like to try new things? Do you like old things? I’m all in when it comes to vintage and history. How bout I share ideas with you and you share with me. We’ve got this!
You see, we all live on This Side of Paradise. It’s nice, but it’s not heaven - and we all know we LONG for heaven. That’s what Pinterest is for - a way to spruce up our lives and achieve all our deepest & wildest fantasies at home. I mean, we all experience beauty in our life, but from time to time (or for some of us - for lengths of time) we trek through mud and leave footprints wherever we go. Before long, everything is muddy and we are grumpy little souls that no one wants to be around.
Enter the concept of Pocket Dreams Co - YouTube Channel. Dreaming is good. Really good. As long as it keeps us focused on what we can do right now to celebrate the life we are gifted by God. Dreaming is bad - really bad - if it makes us compare and covet what we can’t have. So I choose to take my dreams and CREATE ART to go along with them. It brings Joy and Happiness to my day. How about you? Do you want to make art from your dreams, too?
Endings
August is the last month of summer, which means for some of us, our kids and college students will be headed back to school soon. We’ve tried to plan one nice family activity each week to do together, as well as take a family bike ride through the neighborhood at sunset. The views have been extraordinary at times, but my favorite thing has been seeing the bunnies and fireflies darting about. What are you up to that fills your life with joy?
Hopefully these blogs will inspire, motivate, and encourage you to smile more and enjoy your life. After all, you only have one life to live.
Put on your Rose Colored Glasses and Celebrate the Life You’ve Been Gifted!
Now go make some art today!
