Inspire Your Heart With Art Day

Inspire Your Heart With Art Day sounds simple sufficient. Go to a gallery, movie theater, cinema, or songs location, and take in the fine art. Bear in mind the guideline, though: Inspire Your Heart. Care is required.

Have you noticed exactly how edgy the arts have been getting recently? It's not about honest truth and beauty anymore. Artists would like to surprise you. That's their brand-new raison d'etre, and while it could thrill and infuriate you, it's not always helpful for your heart.

So the secret to getting one of the most out of this day is being discerning about your fine art, and picking something that will certainly influence your heart instead of end it. With anything prior to 1967 you must be on relatively protected ground, yet particularly recommended would be Turner (painting), Beethoven (Songs) or Shakespeare (The Whole of Human being Life). You understand what you like of program: Go eat it!

pricing art (seriously)?

It's no use trying to price art by calculating time spent and materials. For instance, I'm getting pretty fast and, when really inspired, can whip up a painting in 4 hours. The same painting, if I'm interrupted or have a bad day (or days) might take me 12 hours. One may be done in thin layers, another with thick globs of paint - but both fetch the same price for the same size. It's all relevant.

Your best gauge is other people's art - check galleries and websites of other artists whose work is similar to yours. Less experienced artists (with little or no "track record" of sales) can't expect to charge the same as well established artists, but you don't want to price your art "eBay Cheap" or you lose credibility.

It's always a tough call, and may take a few live shows to judge the customers' reactions to your work - that's the best way to find your price, by finding what your customers are willing to pay by talking to them.

Good fortune in your exhibit!

Poetry - is inspired impromptu poetry better than constructed and formed poetry?

Poetry - is inspired impromptu poetry better than constructed and formed poetry?

Inspired writing has far greater depth than constructed works which may have perfect rhyming and metering but lack the natural flow and substance of emotion. A truly excellent poem or piece of writing if one well constructed, metered and with a subtle storyline. A strong, intelligent and emotional writing is preferable to a well constructed work with, diligently applied rules, ultimately poetry and prose speaks of one thought and is well received by similar likeminded souls, each work therefore having a target audience. For a poem, prose or essay to appeal to the majority all factors, usually current issues or emotional dilemmas applied well constructed and with a true deep meaning and sense of purpose are always considered popular.

I find writing therapeutic, to have within a conundrum, of emotions and thought paths and endeavour to define and from into coherent and literate sentences is a challenging art form. Sometimes it fails abysmally and other times becomes a mantra for the mind to recant and heal itself with. The perfect poem has yet to be written, remains as a jigsaw wafting through my mind usually whilst driving. A song can inspire great impromptu prose as can the memory or presence of much loved individuals. Inspiration is itself a gift, flows as a river on biorhythmic highs and dries on lesser enlightened days.

Born again in a world seldom changing, recurs time and again

Similar sentiments and memories whisper quietly of better days

The mind runs free to universal ends, contends to return remains

Life is but a game, a charade, battles won and wars lost, for all to be forgiven

He sits high on the hilltop, gazing down upon a land long forgotten

He loved them once and deeply, raised Edens for their game play

And now misered and forlorn, awaiting another dawn preferring

To sleep a while longer, as dreams realised became nightmares of sodom.

A wind chills his being, shivers a gasp stealing, looks longingly at one made distant

Urges awakening from his reverie, a quiet calling from the depths of a darksome dread

Looks away as engineering makes vicarious a world as anticipating the coming

Of One who forgot the days, now forgotten looks for Loves warm embrace on cold horizons

A face once danced with spectral light, beauteous, become grey and ashen, tears well fall upon a swarthy cheek

It lives still this need, and love shines awhile its holy light, so bright, turns to find a reflection

His mirrored world of woe and pain, and this wound as unhealing as the mistrust of apathy

Hardened countenance etched by the lines of suffering, he struggles to subdue the sting.

Way up high on a hillside a figure sits beneath the shade of a tree, staring at his solemnity

A heart broken, shattered into a million fragments , each mirroring his foreboding, shards

As icy and involuntarily fallible as his overwhelming need, momentary soon ebbs away

With the uttering of a profanity, an expletive, an unkind word, cast to the wind, carried to him.

This the intermediary trajectories cunning in their duplicities widen this abyss between world and missed

It goes on this roused hell, spectacle and circus, this one soul travelling show, starry skies of misty eyes

Stare from rooms in darkness, for a cave where He dwells, where love caresses the tears away

And it goes on, the throng addicted to the daily bleeding elicited from a treasure trove, abundant.

Send forth your hope in glorious candles of dreams and wishes made one as the Sun shines upon all

Some makes golden, whilst others scalds, scathes as thorns upon a tendered flesh, reddened or bronzed

With this outpouring came a new pain searing, a rainbow cast to dust and he bleeds another tear

To endear, and bring as one in unison the pieces of his cosmic heart, he starts, was a dream, and moves on.

An impromptu write, slightly unstructured, befitting...

This one was a bit off the wall but memorable...

How is music and art used in a typical Sikh worship service?

How is music and art used in a typical Sikh worship service?

The music inspire people, music touch the soul and the heart of people, musicdeletess God.

Some faiths set aside a particular day set for worship, or meet on a significant day.

Islam observes prayers five times daily and Muslims generally congregate in the mosque on Friday.

Judaism observes Saturday as the Sabbath, or day of rest mentioned in the Ten Commandments.

Christianity generally practices meeting in church for worship on Sunday.

Sikhs do not observe a Sabbath, day of rest, or set aside any special day for worship.

Worship for Sikhs takes place every morning and evening in the form of meditation, prayer, singing of hymns and reading scripture of the Guru Granth Sahib. Daily worship services make take place communally, or individually, whether in a gurdwara, communal living ashram, or private home. Probably all gurdwaras have Sunday services, not because of any particular significance, but because it is a time when most members are free from work and other obligations. Gurdwaras with a resident attendant to care for the Guru Granth Sahib hold worship services every day.

Worship services begin at Amritvela between midnight and dawn and last until mid morning. Evening services begin at sunset and conclude between sunset and midnight. Daily worship services held in the gurdwara include:

Naam simran – Morning meditation and recitation of Waheguru.

Nitnem – Reading or recitation of five morning prayers at dawn.

Prakash – Ceremonial opening of the Guru Granth Sahib.

Asa di Var – A set of 24 hymns taken from Guru Granth Sahib, which are traditionally sung in the early morning around dawn.

Kirtan – Singing of hymns by Ragis, musicians trained in the classical measure of raag.

Hukam – Reading of a random verse from Guru Granth sahib considered to be the divine order.

Langar – A free meal cooked and served in the gurudwara kitchen and dining hall.

Rehras – Evening prayers read at sunset, followed by more kirtan and a reading of hukam.

Sukhasan – Ceremonial closing of the Guru Granth Sahib between sunset and midnight.

Guru Arjun Dev, Sikhism's fifth guru, wrote:

"Jhaalaaghae outh naam jap nis baasur aaraadh
