You may seem mildly interested in the posts that I have published in the past. In my opinion they weren't the best posts, or my best writing for that matter either. So, well maybe this post will be different. Maybe it will be the post after this one that will be the game changer. Anyhow, I'm still blogging I guess.
They are so many forms of art, that you really can't talk about every single one with the depth, detail, and devotion that they deserve. Well, this is my rendering of a few styles of art. Obviously I stated that I was going to talk about street art: graffiti, street musicians, street performers, etc. But sometimes I don't have the time to go and actually do all the research on the subject. So I apologize for that. There truly are just not enough hours in the day! Hopefully some of you can relate. This is a different type of art, weaving.
Well, this evening I volunteered at a Navajo Rug show. When I got there I was amazed at all the beautiful pieces of art they displayed. It was inspiring to see the work that they did, necklaces, rugs, baskets, and much more. To know that they make their livelihood off of what they sell; as well as the fact that they sold it not for the price they thought it was, but for what they needed to continue living was astounding. Charging $100 for a rug just so they could change out a busted tire. Also knowing that some of these rugs could take them up to three years to make, wow! The intricate designs, different dies used, and the sheer size of each piece truly makes you appreciative of their work. Some of these people have been creating these items since age ten, and are still creating these amazing works of art to the age of 98! Truly amazing, they are true artists.
