Bloop, brush and blur


Painting can be a very energetic activity!  There are many different ways to manipulate paint, whether it is by using a brush, sponge, roller, stamp, spray bottle, or fingers.  These artists here are all using a variety of brushes, and even going from a big brush to a small brush creates a different result.


Seeing how each of these artists work differently brings attention to the notion that we are all unique.  We each go at our own pace and express ourselves differently.  This is true for verbal communication, as well as for visual representation.  Though we are all different, we can all still get along and cooperate in a way that enables further growth and learning.  Children are often the best examples of how we can work independently, while still advancing together.  There is a balance that can be maintained between the two ends of the spectrum and this is what we try to achieve, in our own lives and in sharing our lives with others.


Engaging in physical activity while also using the mind results in many benefits for us, as humans.  Being creative and sharing that ingenuity with a friend is an additional element of success, enhancing life all around.  This connection between the brain, the eye, the hand and the heart is one of the most important and can be one of the strongest, if it is practiced frequently.
