“You may think you don't have talents, but that is a false assumption, for we all have talents and gifts, every one of us. The bounds of creativity extend far beyond the limits of a canvas or a sheet of paper and do not require a brush, a pen, or the keys of a piano. Creation means bringing into existence something that did not exist before-colorful gardens, harmonious homes, family memories, flowing laughter.” ThinkingMayMeanHomeMemoriesExistenceCreativityTalentCreationKeysLimitsPaperLaughterGardenBoundsPianoAssumptionPensCanvasBrushesSheetsHarmoniousColorfulFalse AssumptionsFamily Memories Author:Dieter F.

“This may sound insulting to some of my cult studies friends, but there's a lot of cult studies people who ignore, shall we say, the wider canvas - because they simply don't know about its existence or they don't know how it operates.” PeopleKnowsMaySoundExistenceKnow HowStudyCanvasCultInsulting Author:Peter York
“There is always, in the fine arts, a physical interface between the artist's esthetic vision and the material result he seeks. The interface may be the application of brush to canvas, chisel to marble, bow to string... It may be the control of voice in song or the control of body in dance. It is the mastery of the interface that comprises the artistry; it is what constitutes the 'art' in fine art.” MayArtBodyArtistSongVoiceResultsVisionMaterialsMastersFineStringsApplicationMasteryBowsCanvasBrushesMarbleFine ArtsArtistryInterfacesChisels Author:Robert Breault
“If we view a great mountain soaring into the sky, it may excite us, evoke an uplifted feeling within us. There is an interplay of something we see outside of us with our inner response. The artist takes that response and its feelings and shapes it on canvas with paint so that when finished it contains the experience.” IfsMayFeelingsArtistViewsSkyShapesMountainExperienceResponsePaintFinishedCanvasSoarEvoke Author:Lawren Harris
