A picture is worth a thousand words

Writing is an essential part of expressing social responsibility, but contextually writing falls into the larger and more important category of creative influence. The form of creative influence I am more interested in, via expression, is art.No major movement in society can be separated from a relative art movement. Such movements include, slavery, prohibition, women’s rights, immigration, war, etc. No matter how big or how small the social issues are, art stands side by side with “Expressing Social Responsibility”.
Art is used in the same ways as writing, but it’s spoken in a different language, and there are no limits to the medium or media.
Like society, the creation of art is a journey forward. There are tangents and restraints, setbacks and leaps ahead. However, none of these actions matter if no intelligence is applied, or if nothing is learned in the process.
Salvador Dali once said, “Intelligence without ambition is a bird without wings”, and Pablo Picasso said, “Action is the foundational key to all success”.
One must have wings, and be willing to use them, if your goal is to fly. Be aware of your responsibility, be ambitious, and take action. Paint, sculpt, draw, do whatever you want, but, whether it is personal or collective success you are looking for, without action, neither will be gained.
Expression is the most important part of being human. It requires voice, the right to be heard, the requirement to listen, and without it we are silent and alone
