Art: The Best Form Of Self-Expression

Even if you don't like something that you create, it is still art because 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder'.

Art: The Best Form Of Self-Expression
Chelsea Wyatt

While we may not all be Picasso's, almost everyone has at least one form of art that they enjoy. This can range from doodling in your notebook to making ceramic pieces. Even though we may not always like what we make, it is still art. If you enjoy one type of art, there is a good chance that you will like some of these other types.

1. Drawing.

One of the most common forms of art, drawing is done all the time. When you doodle shapes in your notes instead of listening to your teacher, you're drawing. You may not think of it as art, but it is. On the other hand, some people sit down and draw pictures of things they see or enjoy. It can be anything from a bowl of fruit to your favorite cartoon character. No matter how good or bad the drawing is, it is still art, and you should be proud of it.

2. Painting.

For most people, you have painting since you were a child. However, back then, it probably consisted mainly of finger-painting. As you get older, some people continue to paint, and grow up to be just like da Vinci. This form of art can be sloppy, but it is still a fun way to express yourself.

3. Ceramics.

This form of art may not be as popular as others, but it creates some of the most beautiful art in existence. However, this is also a bit more complicated than other art. There are many tools that are needed when it comes to ceramics. While this type of art is more difficult, it is just as enjoyable as any other type.

4. Sculpting.

Sculpting isn't done one specific way. You can sculpt with clay, metal, wood, sand, etc. Even if you can't find one material, such as clay, you can just use something else. If you like to build things and you like art, give sculpting a try.

5. Music.

Even though some people may not think of this when art is mentioned, it is a form of art. Probably the most common type of art in the world, music is played every day. When you walk down the street and hear someone's music, they're exposing you to art. If you play an instrument or sing, you're an artist. You are using to body to make something beautiful.

6. Theatre.

Also known as the performing arts, theatre is another form of art (obviously). People get up on stage, and perform jaw-dropping shows. If you don't think of this as art, just think about how much work is put into a show. The cast crew use their bodies to show the world their talent. Actors and actresses are living pieces of art.


All of these types of art are forms of self-expression. You can use any one of this to show the world how you're feeling. If you don't participate in any of these types of art, that's okay. There are many more forms of art in the world. Even if you don't like something that you create, it is still art because 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder'. Whether you draw or perform on stage, you are an artist. You have a very special talent, and you should never forget that. Let the world see what you have to offer.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
