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 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 Try not to limit yourself because computer games or apps might get outdated but art will always remain evergreen.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!
