"All arts are one and each art — even ballet — is a form of storytelling."American Novelist
1921 - 1995
Do you agree that "all arts are one..."? At the core, each of the arts are about creativity, about communication and about storytelling. Whether we are talking about a painting, a dance recital, a play or a novel, we are talking about the impulse to create stories that communicate the meaning of why we are here. Even abstract art has a story to tell if we can interpret message within the symbols. The forms of the storytelling are very different, but the impulse that brought the forms is the same.
Do you celebrate and support other art forms? Do you associate with artists of all stripes and shapes and genres? Or do you stick to your small corner of the universe? Do you only surround yourself with poets, or realistic painters, or ballet dancers, or stage actors? We can learn much from talking with others and studying their creative processes. We can be inspired by the works of others.
Unfortunately, in the American society, people don't always appreciate the value that the creative arts bring to a community. Usually the arts are the first programs cut when there is a budget crunch. The hard subjects of math and science are more important. Yet, I believe, the arts are what make us human. They help us create new futures and new visions. Without the arts, life would be boring and dull. So support your fellow artists today.
