” Given New Life “
Posted by Nana Bell on Jul 16, 2010 in My Mind unravelling |
Last week while reading our local news paper. I came upon an ad that mentioned how young people could come to our local skateboard park, and with a small fee of ten dollars, that artist could express, and display his/her artistic talents for all who visited the park to see.
I once entered a post in which I spoke of the many talents all of us possess. I titled that post “Artistic Talent”. This post is a follow up to that post, and I was very pleased to see that someone in our fair city possessed the same passion for the hidden talents of our graffiti artists as I do.
As I have said before I do not condone graffiti in anyway, shape or form. Graffiti is destructive to property, makes our town look slummy, and cost many dollars to repair any damages inflicted. Graffiti is also punishable by law, and is not condoned by the public, nor by the police force.
These words can only describe the drive these younger members of the artistic community possess. I see such poetry in their lines, and curves. Like a falling water fall or a rushing stream. There is much beauty in their designs, and many stories are told in their form.
There is a deep found passion that graffiti artists possess. A passion in their expression of their art. A perfection that many of us possess as well. We tend not to express ourselves on other peoples properties, but on canvas, paper, or whatever other kinds of material you may choose to use.
Whatever the design that has been created in the mind, will find it’s way onto a canvas of some kind. The city has supplied this canvas.
There are so many talented artists out there in this large world of ours that have yet to be discovered. Our local skate board park was one of the “OKAY” places given to let our younger population showcase their talents. Our city need look further into a way to give these artists a permanent place to show off their talents. An event with a prize system of some sort, and an area in which to do this.
There were so many pieces of fantastic artwork created at the skateboard park that I cannot show them all in this post. I will make my next post a tribute to these talented graffiti artists, with more of their creations.
“Create on.”
