Uninhibited Creativity Art students let their talent flow from their heads to their adept hands. any students find them- Mfsetes sitting in a desk sometime during the most boring lecture of their lives, and instead of taking notes like they’re supposed to, they pull out a scratch sheet of paper and begin to doodle. Whether they realize it or not, or whether their neigh- bor can recognize it or not, that is known as ART. When most people think of art, names like Michelan- gelo and Leonardo DaVinci come to mind, but art is more than just famous names and beautiful paint- ings. Some students find that when they doodle, people look and stare and say, “‘Ooh, “that s good! You should be an artist.” You know the ones, the ones that can whip out a car- icature of your most hated teacher and send chills down your spine because of its stark reality. It’s students like this that waltzed in day after day into room 301 and created mini- masterpieces. One such artist, Paul Quinn has won numerous awards because of his innate talent. He says that “it sur- prises me how | create some of the things | do. | mean, | guess it’s just something that comes naturally to me, and | just don’t understand why.” In fact good art is some- thing that more or less must be an inborn trait, or else we'd all be spewing forth masterpieces of splattered paint. Which brings notice to an- other point. Art is more than just paints; there are numer- ous types of art: sculpture, architecture, photography, videography, music, theatre, and countless others. “Art is what you want it to be,” philosophied art stu- dent Jennifer Beasley, “that’s what makes it so great, you can do what ever you want; you can be creative.” Scott O’Con, another of Butler’s students said that it’s all about ‘creativity. | like the freedom of expression I’m allowed. There are no boundaries | can’t cross — if | really want to. Art gives me an opportunity to create ina way that | don’t normally act. It’s always easier to do some- thing crazy on paper than to act It out.” Nevertheless, the world would be much less exciting without art: no T.V., no ra- dio, no graffiti, no maga- zines, etc. Although the vast majority of us can’t help but be a bit envious of these tal- ented artists, we must also admit that we couldn't live without them. tg place» Paynevadds color rant.
