An Introduction of Sorts

You've either stumbled upon this blog or somebody has led you to it. Maybe it was me. Maybe it was God. Not that we're at odds.

In any case, I'm glad you're here. This is a blog about art. It will be covering different aspects of different things at different times in different ways. Maybe some instruction here, a little history there, an abstract notion here, and a launch from left field there.

I'll keep it short. Patience isn't what it used to be. We live in a fast-paced world, where reading constructed paragraphs has taken a backseat to lists of trivia and pictures of kittens doing cute things. Nothing wrong with cute kittens, but I hope that actual articles don't go the way of the dodo, as they are more challenging for our minds and attention spans, and challenge is the path to growth.

I'm not attempting anything profound here. At its core, this blog is a challenge for myself. I hope that by keeping to it, updating it, wrestling with ideas, and conveying thoughts and emotions, I will grow in my organizational and communication skills. This has been on my heart lately and is a deeply felt desire. I also hope to bring some knowledge to whoever is interested.

The first few posts on this blog will have to do with myself and my different endeavors and achievements. From there I hope to start posting helpful articles regarding art. I am currently teaching a drawing course and will be using this blog as a means to communicate the central approaches I'll be relaying to my students. This can be used as a resource for learning and hopefully for inspiration in whatever your goals may be.

The title of this blog is a reference to "Tangled Up In Blue" by Bob Dylan. It's one of my favorite songs. "The only thing I knew how to do/ was to keep on keeping on" strikes a chord with me. Hopefully I can do just that with this blog.
