Art comes in many shapes and forms, you don’t have to be talented to create art, all you really need is a soul. Art ranges from paintings to poems. If you ever feel any pain, buy yourself a canvas and paint out your emotions. Let the pain from your soul seep onto the canvas. Turn your pain into beauty. You don’t even need a canvas, all you really need is a pen and paper. You can sketch out so many beautiful images that come directly from your soul. Anything will help get out the pain and make this world more colorful. Many painters turned to painting to release the pain they felt in their soul.
