Life and management lessons from the world of ART

There must be a point in our childhood which carried vivid and messier imagination with colors that expressed or defined us freely without any hesitation or rules or styles. Then what made us apart from colors as we grew up? Why did become more conscious about every move we make and what others would say?

My journey with art began with my elder son showing interest in drawing and we enrolled him into weekend art classes. His teacher was a reputed artist with an innate ability to connect with kids and help them discover the artist within themselves. Given to the curiosity, I walked into my son's class while dropping my son off to his art classes, and to my surprise that the class was a milieu of people across the age spectrum at different stages of learning. So here are some musings from the world of art which I enrolled to spend time to and how they have changed the way I look at life :

Finding the problem–

We are rising as solution-oriented instead of looking for the source of the problem. Art can help in finding the problem before you go on the solution-finding mission. As sometimes, the painting doesn’t appear right or something great is missing or it may appear with different perspectives with different angles and can help find the missing dimension.

Lesson – Don’t worry about solving a problem. First try to understand the problem better using different perspectives, before attempting to solve it

Its OK to make mistakes -

Every stroke of the brush comes with a new effect. While in school, we were taught to be particular about various factors. Now, it’s fine for colors to splash out, not to adhere to strict rules, and have random brush strokes. As every time, it may come up with something unique and another dimension to the entire artwork.

Lesson- It’s OK to make mistakes. There is no right or wrong in this world. It's all about perspective. Every so-called mistake also adds to your experience and life skills, so don’t be afraid to do something beyond the conventions

Balance and subtlety -

Art demands the balance of colors, tone and texture. The same goes with life and our personalities. The wheel of life demands a balance in different dimensions in our lives – study, work, family, friends, society, health and so on. Sometimes, a subtle change can create a huge difference in the way people perceive us e.g. a subtle change in the way we talk to people can bring a totally different dimension of our personality on the forefront.

Lesson– Never underestimate the importance of balance and subtlety in our lives

End goals may change

We get his freedom to decide when our piece of art is complete although it might be different from what I expected originally. In life, we experience similar about goals and milestones.

Lesson – Wherever you are in life, its perfect and that’s where you are supposed to be. Enjoy the journey and don’t worry too much about the goals. You and only you have the power to decide the course of your life and where you want to be.
