A Culture of Creativity


Art shapes lives, changes cultures, and touches a generation. If we are to look back, we will see the many artists that impacted a season of humanity. Some never even dreamed that their names would live on up until this day. For example, Leonardo DaVinci - born on April 15th, 1452. Through his art his name still lives on and still carries the authority and power that his work gave him.

Today we see many artists shaping our generation. Some are doing a great job and are actually leading us to higher places; others are digging a deep hole where many will fall and lose themselves in. They might preach freedom and liberty, but the truth is, even freedom has limits and certain "boundaries". What some call art and expression may actually be a hidden darkness that is about to come forth from the art that is being created and advertised.

Creativity is a gift that must be used wisely. It is with creativity that we destroy and build. It gives us the power to bring out of the mind that which we desire to see in real life. But the question is, in the end, what do we want to see materialized in our midst?
