When a man beholds a vast and myriad thought in his heart, he finds a means to bear it out. Sometimes, he

says that he is short of words and at other times, he's full of the same words. As such, there is no far fetched reason why an artist would attempt to concentrate his experiment of life in a unique and exceptional work of art except for a preference for order to disorder.

The whole progress of man on earth has thus been a struggle to this end. Everything man has done - the creation of vast empires from the growing of small gardens has been a triumph in greater or lesser degree of order over chaos. To help control his own thought and the sudden surprises of his limitless mind, he had to invent a means of communication- language. As each new thing comes forth, whether it be an idea or an object, he gives it a name and thus brings it in line with the things he understands. This started way back from Adam's loins when he gave names to animals even up till now when we give names to awesome pieces of creativity. Man has in the long run, invented for his use, more than one kind of language and as such, the architect has a language, the mathematician has another, the engineer has his, the lawyer and the musician too. These languages have special features, symbols and their form of logic- the rationale behind them, some formal, others informal. The thoughts of man could thus be analysed in language.
According to The Linguist, there is a believe that languages should not just be spoken but analysed. As such, this article coasts towards it's subject with the question: How does an artist communicate the language of his pallete to his audience? What significance is Art?
1. The origin of everything is Art- for art is creativity. Imagine the world at it's beginning as empty as it was until God called forth light. God was creative here for light had never existed. In the same way, imagine an artist with a blank canvass and you have him create a masterpiece of it. What then is creativity if not this?
2. Art is perfection: When God looked at his works on each day, He saw that they were good. If tommorow, we wake and say a thing is bad, it's not because God made it bad. It's because we did. The same way an artist makes his works perfect and presents it at an exhibition. The mistakes of an artist also means art and so, there is perfection.
3. The divine duty: I'm in no way an artist but I believe these persons inherited a divine duty from God. Artists are great prophets and they see far into the future. The strokes of their brushes and the lines of their pens make powerful prophecies.
I think I hear a "If there would be a second world, I'll love to be an artist."
However, I believe in forming our arts out of every profession and duty we find ourselves in. In blogging, become an artist, paint your blog. In medicine, enjoin creativity, the surgery room is your canvass, in swimming, do same, make the best of creativity. The secret of an artist is his hands- with which he manages creativity. You have hands too. Use them.
