Art is a tricky thing. You start with this idea up in your head and you need a way to turn it into a tangible creation. You have to use the tools available to you in order accomplish this. It is for this reason that art is both easy and extremely hard. You may mistake this for a contradiction but in reality it holds true; you see, art is hard because of the toil you must put in to create it, but at the same time it’s extremely easy because it’s that vision in your head that drives you forward and makes it all worth it. Today I would like to share some of my thoughts on art in all of it’s many forms.
Art is such an exciting part of life, it allows us to learn and grow through any medium of our choice; For me it’s Parkour and everything else that comes along with it. And trust me, there is a lot that comes along with it. I’m talking about the filming, editing, shoe design, clothing design, website design, and so much more. You are going to be seeing lot’s of new things from us in the near future thanks to our passion for art. I love starting a new project with an end result in mind and then midway through the process of creating the end product I realize that it can be improved in one way or another thanks to the tools at my disposal. this happens often while I’m video editing, I aim to create a certain thing but then find ways to improve and build on it thanks to the vast amount of tools available in my video editing software.
Having one of your creations turn out better than you ever imagined is one of the greatest feelings I have ever experiences, especially when you pour your heart and passion into it. It only takes a second to dream up something in your imagination, yet it takes much longer bring that very same idea into existence; This may seem like a bad thing but it is actually a great blessing to all of us! By being forced to work in order to create our art we are being taught that hard work pays off, this builds pride for our work and breeds the trait of idealism in many who call themselves artists. This idealism is a beneficial trait to possess, idealism urges people not to settle until they get exactly what they want out of life; It’s dedication like this that will build the new earth.
Art can be many things, I consider art to be anything which is done with love and attention to detail. This can be as simple as mopping floors or as complex as writing books. Expressing yourself is a great relief for stress and other negative emotions. If you are feeling down or filled with negativity you can burn off that energy by fervently creating! It may sound like a dumb idea but don’t knock it until you try it. Art flourishes in the field of passion and can open anyone’s heart to the awe and glory present in the vast universe we call home.
I hope that this article has imparted a little bit of knowledge onto the garden of your mind. Just like any garden your mind needs regular stimulation and craves knowledge so do it a favor by learning and improving every day that you walk this earth, you never know how many of these sacred days you have left. Make the most of them by expressing yourself and doing exactly what you want to, don’t let anyone stop you from chasing what you want and expressing yourself in any manner which you enjoy. Be free my friend enjoy the now!
What video editing software do you use? And I love your blogs!

Thank you! :) I use adobe premiere, after effects, and the magic bullet suite. And a few other programs for things like audio editing and file compression.
