Good art – writing, music, poetry, painting, sculpture – has the power to change those who witness it, whether it’s for a few minutes or forever. As writers, when we go deep into characters, situations, places, times, worlds – they change us too.
I’m inviting writers and readers to contribute a guest post on this subject.
For Writers:
You can address this question however you like – but here are some starting points (none compulsory – just to get you thinking!):
- Your self-concept – how you see yourself
- effects on your self-discipline
- personal satisfaction with your life
- ways of looking at the world
- recognizing your strengths & weaknesses
Six hundred words or so, plus links to your sites, a brief bio and a photo if you’d like.
You could also include a few sentences on one piece of art (of any sort) that changed how you saw the world.
For Non-Writers:
If you’re an artist of another sort, please feel free to answer the questions above with reference to your own discipline.
If you’re not an artist, but a reader/listener/viewer – tell us about a piece of art that changed your world – what it was, what about you changed?
