This is an article about an art that I have been doing now for the last 18 yrs. Its what I call collective art. What exactly is collective art? It is when a peice of cloth is set up for anyone to draw on together. usally it is at an event that the art peace are set up. This way TIME is as much a part of the art peace as the art itself. Because when you do an event, like a birthday, you can't come back to that birthday. That special day is immortilized forever with the creative engery of all who particapate. Collective art is not something new. Its been around as long as mankind. It started with cavemen drawing on the cave walls. They would draw what they hunted and killed. Or just what was on there heart. The cave walls became their canvas and still to this day we can see them in certain parts of the world. It seems that throughout history collective art has been done. The Egiptians did it on the prymids. The Indians did it on cave walls. Wherever a mass of people were they would take the time to be creative and share with art what was on there minds and hearts. Over the last couple hundred year this important art has become less and less a part of the cultures around the world. Now we have written words and the internet to comunicate. Yet collective art now is as important as it was 1000's of years ago. We have became a society that honors indivituality more than working together to create. Without our forefather showing us that they were creative on the walls of the world 1000's of years ago would we today know that they even existed. Today we have the material to set up walls anywhere. With a simple bedsheet and oil pastels we can create a masterpeice of collective art peace. Instead of having to go to the wall, we bring the wall to the people. If ever we need humankind to come together collectivily it now. I am writing this short article to share the idea called collective art with anyone who wants to unite their family, community, and the world they live in together creativily. After I've put this article out for the editors to see I want to add more on how to set up a collective art peace. How to run a collective art peace and where to set them up. Plus a few picture of what they can look like. Its important that we unite creativily for future generations to see that we as a race could be creative together. 1000's of years ago our ancestor showed us the idea of collective art, don't we owe it to them to continue to work together creativily. So that a 1000 years from now the collective art we do today will inspire the human race to do collective art peaces for their future.
