"Making art changes the world". This sentiment is literally as well as figuratively true. Objects created from our imagination can contribute to the beauty seen in our everyday lives. Spiritually this is tue as well. The practice of making art and gaining skill engages our sense of self and place in ways few other pursuits can bring to the concious mind.
