Art- It’s an expression.

The dumb have invented the sign language for one singular reason, ‘for ease of expression’. In one way or the other, humans are expressive. Even melancholics and phlegmatics express themselves as quiet as they may be. Writers express themselves with words, dancers with their body movements, singers with melody, actors with acting and artists with art.

Art is an expression. It is a simple way of expressing one’s self by putting thoughts and feelings on the drawing canvas and giving it some colour. Art is not about entertainment, it has never been about wiling away time. It is simply a form of expression that artists find comfort in with every stroke of the brush and shade of the pencil. With every hint and hue they add. It is like colouring their thoughts and making it visible to others. It is about trying to pour out your mind on a drawing board for others to see. Colour is life. Every drawing is an expression of feelings that cut deep through the heart. Art is expression.
