everyone's an artist
“every child is an artist. the problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.”
― pablo picasso (1881~1973)
we're all born with a natural urge to make stuff, totally unbothered by self-doubt or the need for a gold star. turns out, every kid really is a mini picasso.
the real plot twist happens when we grow up and the world starts demanding adult things like conformity and "practical results" (ugh).
the real challenge? figuring out how to keep that creative spark alive once the bills are due. but when you finally reconnect with that long-lost childhood artist, it doesn’t feel like learning a new trick—it just feels like finally coming home.
picasso was classically trained as an artist but spent the rest of his life getting back to his child artist.
art helps open your creative mind; get into it, its fun, its interesting and it breeds fearless curiosity!

art and your health!
a recent book “art cure” written by uk professor daisy fancourt as a summary of 20 years of research into the connections between art and health states that art is the “fifth pillar of health”, which should sit “alongside diet, sleep, exercise, and nature”.
the research shows that regular active engagement in arts and creative activity can offer measurable benefits like reduced stress, lower blood pressure, and slower cognitive aging.
