Andrew Wyeth’s painting, entitled “Christina’s World”, (shown above<\/a>) is one of the earliest paintings I can remember appreciating as a piece of “art”. My sister had a print of it hanging on her bedroom wall and it caught my attention during my middle school years. It’s astonishing detail, mysterious subject, and masterful union of idea & form were not apparent to me at the time, but it gave me a sense of what great art can accomplish.\u00a0more<\/b><\/p>\n

I have a deep appreciation and enthusiasm for art. I am constantly seeking opportunities and events that expose myself to new and interesting creative projects. When I visit a city, the first place I go is to an art museum. I enjoy experiencing all kinds of creative projects and learning about the creative process. In addition to observing art, I participate; I make collages out of magazines and post them online<\/a>. Here is one of my favorites:<\/p>\n

I currently reside in Carlisle, Pennsylvania<\/a> as a senior English major at Dickinson College<\/a>. During my final year on campus, I will immerse myself in Carlisle’s creative community and use this blog to link it to the much larger online community. I will interview artists, document exhibits\/shows, explore creative spaces, and much more.<\/p>\n

Carlisle has\u00a0a vibrant artistic community. (Just take a look at this video<\/a>!) I hope to discover new facets of this community and gain a deeper understanding of its nature and influence. Many creative and inspiring people make up this community; behind every work of art is a creative mind. In addition to documenting art,\u00a0I hope to explore questions such as: ‘How is creativity inspired?’, ‘What spaces inspire art?’, and ‘Why do we create art?’<\/p>\n

Art for the Artless will entertain, inspire, explore, and inform. If you are looking to discover and participate in a vibrant artistic community, then you’ve come to the right place. So get excited and dive in\u2014let’s explore.<\/p>\n
