Art of Being Young by Mark Keathley
"When I look back
on my life, there were definite moments where the youngster artist
began to appear. One particular event was in kindergarten in Decatur
Alabama when my teacher (Ms Pitts) singled me out in the middle of
class to praise a drawing (coloring book style) of the earth that
the whole class had attempted. It is still memorable to me, so I
know it was an important "shaping" moment that taught me that art,
for me, could be meaningful and beneficial. Drawing and painting
became a regular habit, and mostly for those rewards. I didn't miss
out on too much "kids stuff", as this painting might depict, but I
definitely focused on art more than the others around me. In this
whimsical "look back" in time, the current "me" is the farmer in the
barn looking at these adorable kids (and himself back in time) as
they play a serious game of marbles for keeps, while the young
artist is more "caught up in his surroundings" - which was another
theme in my life. In either case, as an adult we can learn a lot
from the little ones on the Art of Being Young." |
