Years ago, to skip those boring classes and portions of school, I used to draw chibi drawings of teacher’s faces and jokes in the class on the back pages of the notebook, but I didn’t think about it much beyond that time. Today, years later, when I start watching anime again at the suggestion of a friend or when I rough sketch new ideas on paper, I think that the animations on the cartoon network channel and pogo that kept me in front of the TV in the evenings after school are the ones that help me. As like others I too had many doubts about animations and digital drawings…. While looking back, may be that curiosity led me to gain more knowledge. I think that’s why I feel happy when every child comes to me with their ideas and animated characters in flip books and sketch books, and being able to tell them what is anime especially what is ‘Japanese anime’ to inspire them.

And when I starts to clearing their doubts, The most common question I heard from students was, Is anime is the short form of animation, Are cartoon and animes were same, I didn’t blame for there doubts because everyone even me had the same questions, after so many researches I got the answers that, Actually in 1907 ‘s the journey of anime begins and the term anime refers to a short form of animation. But overall in world now a days anime refers specifically to Japanese anime, It often based on manga (Japanese comic hand drawing created by storywriter in a there own style ).

Now a days with the help of highly developed technology mangas were created even through AI. Most of the animes contain dozens of episodes were they include multiple main characters. Sazae san contains longest running anime and it contains 7500 episodes. Also anime doesn’t limits to a particular age group, they focus on everyone. The anime type or genre are the core secret behind the viewers attraction. Kodomomuke,shonen,shojo, josei are the few anime types. Also an anime doesn’t get popular only by anime type of storyline, there is few more main things included in it, there artstyle or character type. Along all these things one major thing that plays in anime is there colour palatte. While mangas weres often created in grey scale, and as a next step when they comes into digital world the mix of vibrant colours and muted colour tones brings animes into another level. Each mangaka (Japanese animator artists) create their own artstyle and it makes each anime different. Works of Makoto shinkal, Hayao miyazaki, Charalie mackesy were the good examples. Garden of words, Demon slayer, Attack on titan, Spirited away are few among them.

As its been clear that An Anime is not limited to just plotline or moral dialogue, genres and each anime can keep everyone with their own visual or art style and colourful graphics without age barrier. It has to be realize that each mangaka and team’s working behind this is putting their own signature on each person in the animation world… Maybe that’s why that animation all around world, (Japanese, American anime and chibi drawings) have such an influence on everyone in the 21st century. And it becoming another way of communicating or expressing many things to the audience. There is a famous quote in anime world especially my personal favourite quote which I value most, ‘The world isn’t perfect, but it’s there for us, doing the best it can, thats what makes it so damn beautiful.’

The Healing Power of Art

Art, is not just the beauty it creates, it is also the feeling it brings. More than the entertainment it provides, it is an expression of our soul. Where, words become hard to express, art is like a breath of fresh air.

Why not art at this age ?

Age, a major barrier in our society. We ourselves have set up limits for everything and that includes our age too. The rigid social routines have moulded people in such a way that after their 40s and 50s they …

Art, is not just the beauty it creates, it is also the feeling it brings.  More than the entertainment it provides, it is an expression of our soul. Where, words become hard to express, art is like a breath of fresh air.  In the process of moulding our problems, into different forms of art, we discard them from our mind and body, thereby healing it.  The healing power of art penetrates our soul, cleanses our mind and strengthens our body.  The moment you choose art as your lifestyle, you are reborn into a land of bliss.

Art therapy is a form of expressive therapy.  The patients are encouraged to explore their feelings and create them in the form of art.  The process is called self-expression.  The resulting artworks will enhance the patients, to understand their emotional conflicts, develop social skills, improve self esteem, manage addictions, reduce anxiety and restore normal functions to their lives.

Age, a major barrier in our society. We ourselves have set up limits for everything and that includes our age too. The rigid social routines have moulded people in such a way that after their 40s and 50s they are required to quit their soft skills. Art is something eternal,it neither has age nor limits. Therefore why dont we expand our thoughts beyond the horizon?

Often arises a misconception that, once you are done with teenage that marks the curtain to your creative side. No,maybe one can come up with his or her masterpiece at the age of 70! who knows! For skills like painting and drawing it is impossible to decide an exact age ,it just comes with the flow. A white paper and a pencil can turn out any old hag into a Picasso!

Art is not just about paint and brush, apart from the materialistic things it involves a complex composition of emotions. Sometimes with more age comes more experience and thus wonderful abstract thoughts. Mona Lisa(famous painting by Leonardo Da Vinci during 1503) was not the work of a teenager Da Vinci! Art is inherit in every human and for the same reason it can be exibited anywhere and at anytime. 

Quite a lot of people pop up with an opinion that they are too poor for art field. “I do not even know to draw a circle properly ” such statements are nothing but inhibitions.Once you are able to express your emotions through art, you have become an artist. Be it a circle or straight line every line of yours counts. Try not to limit yourself because computer games or apps might get outdated but art will always remain evergreen. Age is nothing but a number and ultimately its all art that triumphs!

For all that we’ve witnessed as a population, for all that we’ve grown into as humans, we owe more than we imagine, to the power of art. In the paintings that adorned cave walls of pre historic times to the powerful grafitti that stands the test of time on the Berlin wall, art has been a weapon of emotions.

It may sound surprising when we list them down, but art has been so normalised into our lives, that we often fail to recognise it adequately. In the smile of a child, in the bangles that adorn hands, in the clothes we wear, to the way we eat, there’s an art of doing everything; an art in everything. And it hits you like a train that it is absolutely impossible to take art of out of our lives.

From being a support system for those with ailnesses to conveying powerful emotions of love and peace, art has done it all. For countries in hostility, people have found ways to establish peace through music, paintings and literature. For the oppressed, art becomes an outlet to convert historic rage into positive change. And subtly and powerfully, art hits us right where it is supposed to.

Art, therefore becomes liberation. It becomes a voice for those silenced and a solace for the ailing. It becomes an inevitable part of our life as an individual and our progress as a community. We are the art.
