Shameless_The_Art_Of_Disability
This is for anyone who is interested in art, artists, and who also knows someone who has or wants to know about people who have disABILITIES.
I have many challenges and do things differently because of vision, hearing, and mobility loss. This qualifies me to be linked with having a disABILITY, humm; not bad. Depending on how I or you look at the situation. Because people do things differently, have individual talents, and are given different physical and mental assets or disadvantages; we are all disABLED or ABLED in unique ways. If you look up the disability you will find that the majority of people are not considered disabled :-) Art is wonderful, people are wonderfully and uniquely made with special abilities, and people and art go together with artists who have disABILITIES providing aesthetic, wonderful, unique, contemporary, and other artwork. This blog is all about art, disABILITY , artists and their artwork so this film deserves a place here.

Art Can Be A Figmant Of The Imagination
Yesterday I was researching unusual art and found that art is limited by only the extent of how far out brains and imagination take us. Our minds can go far beyond and above what we think we can accomplish. This is a serious case of [art is in the eye of the beholder]. I found enough material to keep me busy for weeks and perhaps months or depending on how far I imagine to take this blog, a year or two. Actually, I guess in a way this blog is a form of art or an art form.
There are many talented artists working on very unique and unusual projects. I feel like I have found very valuable treasures. And perhaps I may have found some friends and artists who I can learn from, share with, and get to know and enjoy their pioneer spirits.
Their artistic tallents and works should be celebrated and shared with all peoples and all places in my opinion. If you disagree, that's your right and is just fine with me. After all if we all liked the something in the same way art would be a boring same ole' thing over and over again. I assure you, this isn't the same ole' thing. These master pieces are something else. There are from unique and unusual materials used in the creation of the art, or unique and unusual places where the art uis created, or unusual and unique combination of both. Imagination is hard at work in the creation of these works of art. This is art at it's best; our imaginations.
If you can imagine you can create art. Com'on give it a try! Do you have a pen, pencil, crayons, paint of some sort? Or, do you have other items you can use to be creative? See what I mean? Imagination is your best tool :-) For example; if you have grass or weeds or some kind of greenery, you can create with these materials. Perhaps you have paper and glue or tape; go ahead have at it and see what you can create.
I'll be back in a little while with more examples and ideas to give you something to see and ideas which may help you get started on a very satisfying project of art or craft art which you can share with your family, friends, and other people. Did you know you can create art with braille, letters, or other images?
