In a fast-paced world that offers little space for individual expression, arts offer a medium & language and an avenue for self-discovery and self-expression; they offer a voice to the voiceless and a language to speak about what is often to difficult to express. @MHChat #MHChat
In response to your invitation to share our art - anyone who is interested can see my art on pollyfielding.com
I have always loved bright colour eg poppies & have done many pictures of poppies & sunsets reflecting my love of these subjects. Vibrant colours can change my mood 4 the better. In Burano, a Venetian island, they paint their houses in bright colours - amazing 2 see #MHChat
It takes a notebook, a pen and the courage to journey with any expression you place upon the paper.
#mhchat Poverty and deprivation and increasing social inequality means that many talented people never get the opportunity to express themselves.
I find that using bright colours when painting can literally brighten up my day sometimes #MHChat
#mhchat Without UTube and the internet I would not have had the opportunity to learn to paint or be able to contribute to a valuable site like #mhchat
Yes, you may be an artist and do stuff to express how your mental health issues are affecting you and/or it may be therapeutic to you…
#mhchat I have never been able to open a book and read it due to childhood trauma but I learned to read music almost immediately because there was no association with the past.
#mhchat About 15 years ago I had a friend who was a retired head teacher. Aware of my deprived background. She introduced me to the piano and I learned how to play in a short period. Her snobbery and rejection was palpable.
A2 Art can start a conversation and be the trigger for contact with environment and people. Sharing the journey can be a work of art in itself. #MHChat Genuine engagement helps us all.
#mhchat The colours and the paintings provide visual stimulation rather than bleakness and depression but often make me feel sad because I wish my mother could have lived in a better environment. It was a very complex situation.
'Chinese" painting encorporates the performance into the work, as well. A "prayerful", "meditative" approach.
I discovered an abandoned set of paints on a ward, day room table. 19 years later I like using inks and watercolour, progressing towards personal and nature journalling johnmuirlaws.com/nature-journal…
#mhchat I was my mother's sole carer from the age of 6 in a minority community where I had no status for education so when asked about education and occupation it immediately ruled me out. I chose the online course so I could remain partly anonymous.
