BYS 11/09/24 🟨 Connecting with emotions and experiences
Art transcends language, fosters empathy, and provides solace to those who feel unseen or unheard.
Art has the unique ability to convey emotions and experiences that words cannot fully capture, and serves as a bridge between individual experiences and collective understanding.
Create art that connects people in today's Big Yellow Sticky...
Art gives voice to the voiceless.
You’ve probably felt moments when words just aren’t enough to express what you’re going through -- That’s where art steps in.
Art has the power to capture emotions and experiences that can’t be fully explained. Think about how a song, a painting, or a film has moved you in ways you couldn’t explain.
Frida Kahlo's self-portraits were deeply personal works depicting her physical pain and emotional struggles. They offered insight into the lived experience of disability and loss.
Bob Dylan’s protest songs like Blowin' in the Wind became anthems for the civil rights and anti-war movements, voicing the frustrations and hopes of a generation.
Banksy’s street art often tackles issues like war, consumerism, and refugee crises. Banksy’s work gives a voice to marginalized communities and critiques societal injustices.
Art is a way for people to share their truth. Art allows them to communicate pain, joy, or hope when spoken language fails. By engaging with their art, you’re not just witnessing their stories -- you’re feeling them. Art helps you understand experiences that might be far from your own. When you see a powerful mural or hear a protest song, it gives you a glimpse into someone else’s reality.
Art gives you a chance to listen, reflect (and maybe even act), turning understanding into a shared human experience.
See you tomorrow with a brand new Big Yellow Sticky...
