INTUITION NEVER LIE,LISTEN TO IT - by John Powell

absolutearts.com Portfolio

Every thing in life is a dot and one dot influence another so,every dot has a lesson;One should learn from, each dot and every dot is a teacher,who teaches different things of life;One cannot connect the dots of the future,one only can connect the dots of the past;What if every dot teaches you the same thing,which one would you listen to?Everything in life is a lesson but it is 'who'teaches you the lessons???

THE ROLE OF MUSEUMS!!! - by John Powell

absolutearts.com Portfolio

    DEBATE ABOUT "THE ROLE OF MUSEUMS"

 

Museums are our new churches,as agreed by many.Millions flock to them to be inspired,or distracted from the times...;

 

*Couldn't museums do a better job at displaying art in a way that fully engages our emotions?* Why can't museums organize their collections in such a way as to convey art's life-enhancing possibilities and even inspire us to become better people?*Can art make you become a better person?*But isn't that taking the "art as religion" line a bit too seriously?*Does it implies that,museums have a social function,even a didactic role to play?*The museums ever soaring visitors proved that museums are already doing a great job?

*"ARGUE FOR OR AGAINST THE MOTION": MUSEUMS ARE BAD AT TELLING US WHY ART MATTERS?

GOOD=GREAT - by John Powell

absolutearts.com Portfolio

     GOOD=GREAT

 

                                              Is 'GOOD' is the new GREAT?

 

If 'GOOD' is the new GREAT? Then,what is the new 'GOOD'? This is the wrong time to be an average artist;If you believe 'GOOD' is the new 'GREAT',then,you MUST also realize this is the wrong time to be average,or worse,below average; In every life there are certain pauses interruptions which force consideration upon 'TIME',where one course of  action ends and another begins. May be its not your looks,your style or your genre.Its like is something like conviction or better,'intrinsic'. 'Push' your uniqueness  beyond,beyond. 'Imagination' is the KEY;Anything less than 'GOOD' just won't work; What makes you UNIQUE?

Swan Lake/Lake Swan/Ballets - by John Powell

absolutearts.com Portfolio

 The movement of the body is a language;You have people who can dance but the spirit don't dance,you first must dance in the spirit before you can dance; This piece is 3rd in an extention from the homage to "Swan Lake", music series...Is the drawing in process,which I am continuing to draw, as I am doing the research on it;More features to come in the next drawing I will put up;Swan Lake,by Tchaikavsky Pyotr.Nothing Compares with Swan Lake arguable the most loved of all classical ballets.From its first incarnation in 1877 in Moscow,this timeless story of a young man's love continues to capture audience and inspire new generations of dancers and dance lovers;During a hunting trip,Prince Siegfried falls inlove with Odette who has been transformed by the evil Von Rothbart's spell into a Swan by day,returning to her female form only at night by the lake side .Siegfried's love can break the spell because he has never loved before.But Von Rothbart's daughter Odette tricks Siegfried into declaring his love for her and all seems lost.The evil is broken when Siegfried and Odette drown themselves in the lake and are united in death forever.When we are not loved as we need to be loved ,we often survive the deprivation through fantasy;We enter a fantasy of our own making
