Many of us have
an inborn quality to create. Often we get the most fulfillment in this life when
we are able to create. When the arts intersect or combine, it can become the most
satisfying to people in many ways.
For example, the
literary arts combined with artwork can become a valuable tool in teaching the
young and old alike. In the beginning stages of a child’s life, books with
illustrations can open up their minds to a world of understanding and
imagination. Even as adults, we can read instruction manuals for a better
understanding on technology. Even on-line manuals have graphics and
illustrations.
We were made to
work together and create. Our Creator made it this way and, it can create a
successful way of living. As
an Artist, I often collaborate with other creative people to get the job done
as well as seek God first in approaching a project.
Artists, writers,
sculptors, engineers, musicians and many others in the fields of creativity
have long intersected my path. I'm sure this happens world wide also. A team works best when working together to
create from what they envision to become reality.
With the Marvel
Comics, there is Stan Lee who is a writer. He writes the stories that
so many continue to enjoy through comics and movies. The artists, actors, and
all the ones behind the scenes make things happen for our enjoyment. He doesn’t
do this alone.
After I painted
this painting of Stan Lee, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmzBP3rRSjw I wondered about this subject. I came to the
realization that so many creative people are interconnected.
Sometimes we are
meant to do artwork alone. Yet, I would venture to say what good is art if it’s
not shared. If there are not eyes to see it, ears to hear it or hands to use
it?
