The Art Inquisitor Does Some Navel Gazing

When I started this blog, it was with the intention of learning more about art, while paying more attention to art in my everyday life, and trying to pay more attention to art related stories and sites on the web.

When I used the word "Inquisition" in the title of the blog, I had no intention of harming any artists in the making of this blog. I will likely never make any fun of any artwork I see on the web, even if I may dislike it in anyway. I'm more interested in finding more of the stuff that I like, and exploring the creations that I don't quite understand.

One think I hadn't counted upon was the slowly increasing desire to start creating - to put paints on canvas or wood or walls, to shape clay in my hands, to web metal to metal, to make photo montages and collages and essays. I can feel a need to learn about perspective and shadow, colors and textures and other medium of expression.

And it feels pretty good.

I guess art doesn't just express, it also inspires.
