Art for "The Rest of Us"

How do you get from truth to art? Step One: You start. Most people never start. Maybe it's the word "art." It intimidates. Art is supposedly such a lofty endeavor. Art is for the "artistes." Art isn't for the rest of us.

It should be. Children make art all the time. They take joy in it. They aren't intimidated by their imaginations. They know they have a right to them.
