Amazing Sand Painting

Take 8 minutes and watch this all the way through. Art is powerful. I believe art is at it's best when it speaks to real feelings and when it engages more than one of the senses. This is simply amazing!

Factual or Inspirational

This story comes from Kem Meyer:

A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: "I am blind, please help." There were only a few coins in the hat.

A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.

Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, "Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?"

The man said, "I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way." I wrote: "Today is a beautiful day but I cannot see it."

Both signs told people that the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people that they were so blessed that they were not blind. Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective?

We can choose to give just the facts or we can choose creativity. We can relay information or we can inspire. As we write, draw or speak, we can simply show what is, or we can invest ourselves to take people to a different level... a different understanding of what's already plain to them.

Be inspirational!

Very Cool Art Piece

This isn't the post I've been threatening--that's still to come--but this was too cool not to share. I have friend (What up JS?) at the Savannah College of Art and Design and while looking him up, I came across this Senior Project by a different SCAD student. Enjoy!
