I sing, dance, draw (not very well), love to make things, write songs, very good with hair, make up, and nails :) I'm a good cake/food decorator too. Learning to play guitar now!

Wow - nice to finally think of things I'm good at instead of being hard on myself about everything I can't do. Art's always been the best getaway for me. Thanks for this thread!
 
Hi, I was wondering how many people here are artistic. If you vote yes, list what sort of art you do. In my mind, art consists of writing, drawing, painting, photography, film making, wood-working, sewing, sculpture, music...

If I've left anything off, please feel free to add it when you list your art of choice!

I paint, draw, and take photographs. I also like to color with my daughter (for my innner child)
 
I am very good at poems. I have written some very dark poems. If I read them though they trigger me. I wrote them all after the trauma in a book. I guess it was my way of coping with it.

Same with music for me. I've written a couple of songs that delt with what I went through when I was younger but it's a great form of therapy and keeps me grounded. Writing and putting it to good use is what has always worked for me. I started writing when I was 13 and have over 20 notebooks filled with nothing but writings. :) never stop!
 
I voted no. I have always tried to be artistic it's just something I am not very good at. I really enjoy music though. I have played clarinet back in middle school and was decent at it but it was never something I tried after band in 6th grade.
 
Yes! All kinds of art.

But I use a sketch book very specifically to draw or paint my feelings and deal with traumas and explain visually to others (who care) what is going on with me. Especially this is great when my speech isn´t working normally.
 
I dance, act, and sing. I am really good at and feel really comfortable performing, and have never got stage fright. I've performed in front of millions and felt compleatly at ease; quite ironicly, however, I find that dealing with people when not performing is really stressful.

I am never one of the actors/dancers/singers that meets with audience members and fans after a show, because I'm afraid one of them will do something that triggers me and makes me freak out.
