Art at Home: Spring at the High Museum

Today is the first day of Spring, and the High Museum posted some of their spring-themed art. Which is your favorite? I like Mattie Lou O'Kelley's still life - the colors and patterns are exciting and I love Georgia folk art! Maybe you can collect some springtime artifacts and make your own still life at home - look for a variety of colors, shapes, sizes, and textures. Taking your sketchbook or paper outside to draw is always fun and inspiring too! Post your pieces to Artsonia using the tab above or tag me on Instagram or Twitter, even email works. :) Save for your portfolios. Happy spring!!!

Inspiring Artist Quotes

"I always loved art teachers because they were so bizarre. They were like the homeless people of the faculty -- all disheveled, wearing smocks, covered in paint, always digging through the garbage, looking for bottles and egg cartons and things." -Ted Alexandro

"Give me a museum and I'll fill it." - Pablo Picasso

"If I could say it in words, there would be no reason to paint." - Edward Hopper

"Creativity takes courage." - Henri Matisse

"One eye sees, the other feels." - Paul Klee

"I paint life as I would like it to be." - Norman Rockwell

"The way to get started is to stop talking and begin doing." - Walt Disney

"From the age of six I had a mania for drawing the shapes of things. When I was fifty I had published a universe of designs, but all I have done before the age of seventy is not worth bothering with. At seventy-five I'll have learned something of the pattern of nature, of animals, of plants, of trees, birds, fish and insects. When I am eighty you will see real progress. At ninety I shall have cut my way deeply into the mystery of life itself. At a hundred I shall be a marvelous artist. At a hundred and ten everything I create: a dot, a line, will jump to life as never before. I used to call myself Hokusai, but today I sign myself 'The Old Man Mad About Drawing' (Gakyo-rojin)" - Katsushika Hokusai
