Discover Art in Yourself.

Avoid the error of thinking that a good imagination is the possession solely of children and people like writers and artists. In fact, imagination is part of everyone's mental equipment and can be developed to advantage. The writer Somerset Maugham, whose imagination gained him fame and fortune, wrote: "Imagination grows by exercise, and contrary to common belief, is more powerfulin the mature than the young."

All kind of people in the past have been imaginative. They are the creative thinkers who have given us inventions like the pulley, pump, cog-wheel, printing press, electric light bulb, radio, jet propulsion and space capsules. With your present imagination developed you might well give some similar boon to mankind, but even if you do not, you could certainly make your own life and that of your dependands happier and more exciting.

So let's imagine and start creating your first piece of art.
