The Influences Of Art On Us All.

Imagination tends to flow like time. Usually built from ideas that come from speculation, teachings, and perception. Imagination is an aspect that is an extension of creativity, which in turn is an extension of art. All these pieces go together like machine work, creating all forms of artwork, literature, and music.

In our day and age, our ideas and aspirations tend to come from the inspiration of other people’s works and their influences on the world around us. There are many forms of artwork, and those forms of artworks tend to all fall into some form of category. The styles of artwork that can be done can tend to no longer be unique since so many others before us have created such works of art or people have had the same ideas before. However, what is unique in an individual’s piece of art is their imagination.

Their imagination, like I said before, comes from their own speculation, teachings, and perception. For example, a lot of books tend to end on a cliffhanger or leave the reader to ask a lot of questions of “Why?” or “How?”; imagination allows for the reader to come up with their own ending or how something should have gone within a story.

Creativity is ignited from our imagination, which comes from aspects such as interpretation and deep thoughts. Art allows an individual to express their feelings, stories, and emotions all onto a paper, creating a story that is about them, conveying themselves transparently to others in a different way.

All famous pieces of artwork, literature, and music tend to be famous due to many aspects such as skill, depth, and creativity. However, the most important aspect of all famous pieces of artwork is that the artwork relates to a large majority of people. A lot of people may have experienced the same feelings as an artist, and will sympathize with their artwork, relating it back to their own life.

Art in general is a form of abstract communication amongst other people. Art from the past can be a story to those of present day. Eventually, art from the present day will become the past and be a story to those of the future. The cycle continues, allowing us to remember how people used to be in the past, and how their thought processes tended to flow.

Art ignites creativity due to its way of relation to the artist. The artist imagines scenarios and throws their imagination onto a piece of paper. Things such as talking animals, fantasy worlds, and superheroes are all things that people can appreciate, and have become a large part of our current day society.

Without artwork, life would simply be two shades consisting of black and white. Our sense of enjoyment would tend to be bland, and our lives would be systematic. Essentially, our lives would consist of waking up, eating, making a living, and sleeping. With art, life becomes more than just those things.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
