Everyone is an Artist


Picasso said, 
"Every Child is an artist".
Why stop there. Keep going, don't let that feeling go. 
Remember the days when you didn't care what people thought about your art?
Go back to that. 
There are different avenues of art. 
Picasso was a master artist at a very young age.
See..
Pablo Picasso. Science and Charity, 1897
Picasso at 15 painted this...

Self Portrait, 1971 by Pablo Picasso
One of Picasso's lasts paintings in 1971

This is proof that you don't have to fit a mold of perfection. Perfection is boring. 
Have fun, like Picasso. He was a big kid. His are was fun. He was experimental. 

Or be like Jackson Pollock! He had fun with splatter paint. 
He used the colors to show his emotions. He used gravity and force to control his drops. 
He was having fun and being expressive. 
SO should you.

The end of Picasso's quite goes like this... 
"The Problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up."
Solution, DON"T GROW UP! 
Create like a kid, or at least when it's time to create, go back to the ideas you had when you were a kid. Go into your "art zone", escape the world, be free to do it your way.
