Kindergartner’s do it, and high school students do it. When they do, there’s talking, laughter, and critique about technique, method, and style. At times, everyone does it with quiet concentration.
Creation is the epoch moment when nothing becomes something.
Creating something from nothing affirms personality, the artifacts of our tribe, and the design of culture. We live to create, to change, to motivate, to affect.
Creative moments lighten our darkness while absolving our anonymity.
Creation and passion infuse a couples love and affectionate embrace. Silly, passionate, and profound stories could be told by couples who understand creative expression as they celebrate one of life’s “pop factors”.
Wrestlers pretend animosity as their opponent gets slammed to the mat. Wrestlers call these moments the “sound and force” of “pop factors”. Passionate couples empathize.
Artists articulate empathy with aesthetic “pop factors”; an artist wows audiences with slams on the visual landscape.
Two articles, “Working with Monumental Sculpture” and “Claes Oldenburg: Objects into Art” published by Scholastic Art, March 2002 confirm these observations.
Oldenburg creates large scale visual shapes for park and city landscapes. Oldenburg astounds. He says, “I like to take an object and completely deprive it of its function, so as to use it only as a motive for creating art…My aim is to give existence to fantasy.”
Writers “do it” too. Gabriel García Márquez seeks “the magic in commonplace events,” the moments with “sound and force” and living “pop factors”.
Internet words and language pop-up on monitors without “sound and force.” Not because of technique. Not because those of us mangling words and blaring messages do not care. We care, but the work, the joy, the impact, the compulsion to deliver creative thought takes work.
“Doing it” is not a “wam, bam,thank you mam” moment. “Doing it” compels the creative moment, when nothing becomes something.
