Welcome & Guidelines for Art Full Living

For those who appreciate the contribution ART in all its forms makes to our lives and those who want to bring more art into their lives.

While the founding members were mostly poets, some of us create in more than one medium and we welcome discussion of all forms of art: It's place in our lives, the work of it and the joy of it.

i came to realize thru a difference of opinion with someone that i consider as art and value greatly any creation that expresses and communicates the human condition, that touches the soul, spirit...that illuminates, enlightens, uplifts. Sometimes art does that by revealing humanity's darkside, the vanities, fears and prejudices.

All too often people think art is some exclusive club, that those who are 'professionals &/or educators' in a forms of it are the only ones who can talk meaningfully about it its role in our lives and the world. Judging from some of the creative profile pages i've seen here on eons...i'm betting they are wrong.

Play nice, discuss/disagree civilly (that's sometimes an art too!). Unsolicited criticism not condoned. But if you want a 'constructive critique' or suggestions...say you have two versions of something and want to see which seems to speak to viewers/readers more...just ask. Whether you are an amateur, professional, educator or 'appreciator' your opinion matters here.

thank you feywon for this warm and nurturing place to bring all our arts together and share . . . I love the freedom you give us here to be creative and to show and tell . . . some things just don't fit in standard, specialized groups . . .

I too believe there is art all around, in every facet of life if we just see . . . allow ourselves to be creative in all we do . . . this goes for the canner, the quilter, the church choir, the body builder, the martial artist, the shop owner, the wall street banker, the car salesman, the beautician, and on and on . . .

of course I'm partial to the painters, artists, writers, poets, singers, musicians and such . . . and I appreciate it ALL, I populate and furnish my world, my life, with artful people and creations . . .

and I enjoy Art Full Living . . .
