Process

'what is an artist' and 'what is art' and 'what is the point of art'- and truly it must be-the Process- of thought-the way we think and the way we construct things out of the thoughts we have, the creation is the result of the Process....
some people see things as they are and others see things as something else-can this be taught? well, sort of. Kids have a natural ability to imagine things as other things....and when nurtured and valued, this ability can be fostered & great things can be made....the imagination at work is such a cool thing-the best part of being around kids is this-they still have this ability and desire to use their imagination-to allow their Process to happen in order to make things and discover things - that must be the point of Art and the necessity of it all.....i love this tree!
