Art Is Natural
Sight is not a talent and for most of us it's a natural ability, describing what we see is a learned art. Drawing, Painting and expressing ourselves through Art is a matter of choice. Anyone can learn to paint; draw and make art. With the right attitude, a nurturing art space and the proper Art education, anyone can be an inspiring artist.
Talent does not belong to a select few but is inherent in all of us. Talent cannot be described as a singular element but a complete set of factors coming together, it is when life and art blends into each other. It is a matter of using the skills acquired and applying them correctly. It is also about the love for the path taken and the passion to endure it. Together with each individual's ability to express their own personalities in reaching out to people and communicating through their works, this is when talent happens.
Talent is first, an act of will and of the journey that is taken and using it to appreciate art, culture and life in others.

Art Is Mindfulness
Art schools, art academies, studios and ateliers of the day have often strive to express Contemporary and Modern Art through conceptual art discourses and individual creative art expression. Art Is strives to strengthen on these schools of thought by building on techniques and influences improved from various academies of art in Naturalism, Classical Realist and Realist art school. Art Is Gallery and Artist Studio opens up your mind to proper Art education and appreciation through more emphasis on firm foundations in basic art fundamentals, techniques and art materials thus empowering you with the necessary skills to develop and create Contemporary and Modern Art that is not only relevant to the current local art scenes but also the international art world. Art Is believes that by being more mindful of these basic fundamentals in art materials, methods and applications related to the individual field of Art study will inevitably bring you closer to a clearer understanding of these approaches in art. With this comes greater competency in amplifying your individual artistic styles by being visually sensitive and self-aware. This self-awakening makes it possible to bring about new insights not just in personal perception but also in art now, art thinking and art topics that are significant to the current arts scene.
Art without Basic Art Foundations is ignorant expression. Expression without understanding is soulless noise inevitably masquerading as personal styles of art, although individual in nature these styles lack artful maturity leading to superficial works of art that are visually insensitive. Often these personal styles are mistaken and confused with individual creativity or imaginative talent. Art Is Gallery introduces to you artists whose artworks greatly illustrate the importance and effectiveness of a firm visual literature through proper Art Fundamentals leading them to better understand, discover and develop their natural individual strengths in creative expression.
Structured learning of art practices, methods and materials in art education is a necessary journey in promoting self awareness and a meaningful visual culture. Methodologies that employ these systematic and academic approaches should never be viewed as rigid education in art but as a clear and concise reasoning benchmark against personal styles and perspective in art, culture and life.
Art Is Gallery embraces individual expression without compromising the development of skills and techniques required to discover your personal perception of art. Art Is lessons expound the ideology of Basic Art Fundamentals before style.
