This is how the Art Community is bringing positivity into our lives

The sudden change that we all are witnessing in these distressing times is something that we did not anticipate and has become the new ‘normal’ of our daily lives. The lockdown does have its negative impacts on various aspects like economy and the mental health of individuals but it does not mean that everything is lost. Every coin has two sides, so to say, the lockdown has its little wonderful aspects too, one of them is the art community which is striving hard to maintain positivity through these tough times, bringing all of us together to paint the canvas of life with one colour of ‘Hope’. These artists are taking advantage of social media to connect to people and spread creativity and art. This is bringing the world in touch with their lost taste in art and spreading a wave of happiness.

Here we present to you the artists who are spreading the colours of positivity through their Art.

Neha Sameer is the founder of AAA (All About Art), a community of all kinds of artists. AAA did an extensive twenty one days of creative performances during the first phase of the lockdown, where different dancers, musicians, painters, singers and other artists went live on social media and expressed their art, keeping their audience engaged throughout.

Minisha Bhardwaj is an award winning artist and is specially known for her conceptual portraits.During the lockdown, Minisha had initiated a thirty days prompt art challenge along with free workshops where everyone was allowed to participate and showcase their art on different themes which not only uplifted the spirits of people but also made them aware of the artist residing inside them.

Shampa Moitra is an artist and she decided to scribble and sketch everyday on the life of her friends on Facebook and tagged them with special messages to spread smiles and love in these hard and troubling times, spreading a sense of togetherness.

Kanika Singh is a Mini Mason Mosaic artist. She demonstrated through videos the way to make mosaic hearts with recyclable materials available at home, inspiring her audience to do the same, and that would be collected from everyone after the lockdown ceases. Her kind idea is to create an installation for a bio diversity park expressing gratitude towards the corona warriors.

Aditya Pathak is a musician who decided to focus his art by positively entertaining people by sharing various art quizzes, meditational music and Bollywood music videos online.

Likewise many art warriors, conducting free workshops, going live, showcasing their art, challenging their audience to awake their inner artists etc. are working hard to make the world a better place. It is their dedication that is helping people to find hope and happiness while fighting stress and worry during Lockdown. We urge you to find that inner artist in you and invest your time and energy into discovering more about yourself, one of the positive effects of lockdown is that people are getting to meet their own forgotten self. Let’s find art as an escape into our minds so that we could become a better version of our true selves.
