What is Art? ... By Dean Henning:
Art to me is the complete checking out from reality. It is an understanding of your being and its place in existence. It is pouring yourself into that canvas, photo, song, dance or page.
It is the synchronicity of your inner emotion with what you are about to create so that others can feel what you feel through your piece of art. Art is a mood, a moment in time, a dream, a shifting of your mind as you pour yourself into your artwork.
It is a non-stress zone. One that is full of love, passion and freedom. Art should make you feel free. It is unique to your character and how you perceive the world around you. It is a release and your point of view on what reality is and what reality isn’t. It is a notion from some of the deepest oceans. It is a place where you sing hallelujah. It is where you open up to a moment in time. A time where you have the opportunity to create. A privilege to express yourself and let others be a part of it every time they view your artwork.
Art…simply put…is an escape.
Escape in your painting, drawing or photograph so others can too.
