Art Blog Explorations on the 4th of July
In between barbequing and watching fireworks, don’t forget to spend a few minutes enjoying your freedom to make any art you please. I always find it amazing that we live in a country that loves freedom so much, it lets people burn the flag as a form of self expression. When you see how little freedom to dress as they please, read what they want and create art that speaks to them some other countries give their inhabitants, it makes you realize how precious and rare a thing it is. Happy 4th!
