Art of
Being Young by Mark Keathley
|
 |
"When
I look back on my life, there were definite
moments where the youngster artist began to
appear. One particular event was in
kindergarten in Decatur Alabama when my
teacher (Ms Pitts) singled me out in the
middle of class to praise a drawing
(coloring book style) of the earth that the
whole class had attempted. It is still
memorable to me, so I know it was an
important "shaping" moment that taught me
that art, for me, could be meaningful and
beneficial. Drawing and painting became a
regular habit, and mostly for those rewards.
I didn't miss out on too much "kids stuff",
as this painting might depict, but I
definitely focused on art more than the
others around me. In this whimsical "look
back" in time, the current "me" is the
farmer in the barn looking at these adorable
kids (and himself back in time) as they play
a serious game of marbles for keeps, while
the young artist is more "caught up in his
surroundings" - which was another theme in
my life. In either case, as an adult we can
learn a lot from the little ones on the Art
of Being Young."
