We Talked About Art!

ME Liz Strauss wrote this at 8:16 pm

Hi Everyone! Every week Sandy and I try to think how to sum all that we talked about but you know it’s impossible to capture the joy, humor, and camaraderie of four hours in one simple blog post. And as much as I like taking a clever comment and sharing it here, it sure takes time and once in a while it embarrasses folks.

So we’re going to stop trying to do the impossible, trying to retell a fabulous memory, and instead let you enjoy the comments as they were said whole.

It was a busy night. We were talking about art. What makes it art? How do you know it’s art? Is that art? Graphic design, photography, ceramics, weaving, welding, spin art, calligraphy, graffiti, concrete, flower arranging, art therapy, music, cinema, theatre, architecture, poetry, dance, modern, renaissance, gothic, folk, fine, painting, drawing, sculpture, stained glass, blown glass, calligraphy, art history, art fairs, art galleries, art in the park, Art isn’t what you hang on a refrigerator, and don’t drink and draw. Wow!

You can read all about it in the We’re Art Crazy! Comments

Here are some cool links we shared.

Thanks to everyone for the cool links and for being part of the conversation. I’m so sorry I missed half the night and that he server has been misbehaving.

See you next Tuesday? I sure hope so.
–ME “Liz” Strauss

    What would our world be without art? Art helps me see life through new perspectives - especially when I put 1000 words into an image or icon.

    I enjoy noting how the arts touch our lives because these also include dance, theatre, string quartet or jazz ensemble, etc.

    Keep the conversations going, Sandy and Liz!

    Thanks for including my g-daughter. I wanted to be an artist and my daughter has the talent to be one just not the passion. Finally I may have my artist in the family!!

    Hi Robyn!
    Art keeps human and keeps us thinking in new an visual ways that numbers and words do not. We need our art to keep our head and our hearts in balance and focus.

    Thank yuo, Robyn

    Hi Delaney!
    Of course we’d include your granddaughter. She’a an artist and belongs here! Talent and passion deserve to be shown off and acknowledged at any age. :)

    Thank you for being there. I love when you are part of the conversation. It effervesces — did I spell that right? — when you’re around. :)
