The reason I ask is that what little artistic abilities I had when I was younger seem to have fizzled out over theyears.
I sang at school and could read music and though it was only the recorder, I played in the school band - we even entered a few competitions so can't have been too dire!
In my teens and twenties I was the Dancing Queen but somehow my ability to dance just slipped away.
I was never much of a painter or good at drawing but was quite into crafts. Now my only artistic leanings are in photography.
I like the thought of creative writing but somehow never got round to it - maybe I should start a clever blog.
What about you?
Do you sing, can you dance? Are you a painter or a sculptor? Are you a poet?
Go on...big up your talents!
My only ability in the artistic sense of the word is that I know a few words or two and can usually string them together coherently, and I have taught myself to play the piano very basically and with a great deal of aural torment to my wife and children.
Other than that I am abject pants. Poetry and Art baffle me. Do you remember the Xmas episode of Father Ted where Dougal is playing with glitter and glue and has it all over his face, hair and everything? That is me to a T.
I am a songwriter and can make a song up about ANY specific lady's name.
wanna try me............

my hairderessing has been called artistic at times and my title at a salon i used to work for was artistic director which i was very proud of
can also do poetry of sorts when i'm in the right frame of mind
House decoration and design sort of
Decorating cakes (still a learning curve and getting into sugar craft)
I cant write poetically or draw though.

Cherrytree. If you want to play an instrument then pick up a cheap second hand guitar. You dont have to read music to start and after learning a few chords you will be able to play dozens of songs. It is not difficult, you just have to keep going even when your fingers are sore.
Understanding chord structure will help you if you want to progress to keyboards etc.
I reckon that you will be playing your first song after week 1. If you need any help - I can assist.

I craft glass, write songs and play the ukulele.

12 year old Joe Bonamassa
I am seeing him at the Albert Hall in May
Has anyone here ever tried learning the piano as an adult...its a bit of an ambition of mine but not sure how unrealistic it would be...or how expensive lessons might be!!
I can slap a brush around for quite stimulating results
but enough of my depilation in the bathroom with a good old badger brush.
back to the arts....
