Perspective



ART IS...

Reflective
of considered opinion
relationship of facts and time
oriented to be objective
but humanly subjective





Effective
transforming  two dimensional planes
to imagined reality of depths and heights
vanishing and station points respective
illusion by dots and lines connective





Directive
making believable what is imaginable
teasing the mind to consider the improbable
fooling the eye of the most introspective
creating a view for the imaginative and selective



PERSPECTIVE











WONDER


Illusion
conception of the mind
contradiction to the eyes
reality gone asunder
cause for wonder










PONDER


Perception
the creation of the surreal
manipulation of lines
to infinity or just off yonder
distance to ponder











SURMISE


Adventure
sensation one conjures
realization capitalized
beyond each door a surprise
to enter upon or merely surmise












DRAMATIZE


Mind travel
preferred transportation
for spirits born to soar
actors on wings in disguise
everyday life to dramatize 

 










FANTASIZE


Exploration
beyond your comfort state
farther than ever imagined
possibilities to conceptualize
dreams to actualize




PERSPECTIVE
ART
SEEN THRU SQUINTY EYES
FOR THE HEART TO CONCEPTUALIZE

ART IS...
ALL OF THE ABOVE
AND MORE...

    I enjoyed this. The artwork and poem work well together. Having read this, I am now thinking about the reality of our experiences and our perceptions, the limits of linear thinking, and the wonder of the mind.

      There are lots more here---

      Inspiration? To create
      what didn't exist but in my mind
      before I put pen to paper,
      fingers to keys.

      Similar, I would think
      to your desire to research,
      to write, to put all your
      skills to work for you...

      Yes, it is rather a different world in here.
      I combine art with the words---and depending
      on the subject, sometimes the art first, for
      the hard is hard (easy to mess up a pen line)
      and the words are easy (just a backspace
      and all fixed).

    I like it, you say what you mean but you say it with subtlety. This reminds me of my piece Life of a Madman, It seems like nothing if you are just reading it but if you look deeper you can find hidden meanings. Good job, keep it up =).

      Yes, I delved into your "Life of a Madmen"
      and was strongly impacted by

      I was hoping to convey the unexpected---
      for that is what the imagination creates!

      Aha--you selected the phrase that
      is the key to the piece. That segment
      was the first I wrote for the seiries,
      drawing first, to conceptualize
      what was in my mind. In other
      pieces the words came before
      the drawing.

    I want my stamps back... buy your own... but I still want that letter of apology... roflmbo... and yes... here comes that scream!

    You are such a tease... hmmm... I think I owe you big time for this one and I am the queen of practical jokes, I will be thinking on this for a bit, will be brewing me up a good one... I like to get em when they have done forgot to expect they might be gotten.... yep you keep expecting it dear... anytime, anyway, anyhow... it's a coming your way... roflmbo

    Now to get serious... if that is possible... lol

    You really put a lot of deep thought into these pieces and I love profound poetry as I am a deep thinker myself, am often times accused of being too deep of a thinker. I believe we have to put our own perspective on things but I also believe we have to be subjective as well as objective to others opinions as well with an open mind and apply that to the way we percieve things to see how it affects our way of thinking. If for not other reason to keep life from being boring... lol ( okay sorry I said I would be serious)

      Ah, yes, without subjectivity
      there would be no poetry,
      no individuality, the personalization
      that makes each writer unique.

    ''oriented to be objective
    but humanly subjective''

    I like that because indeed, things are what they are...we apply the subjectivity to them.

    Well the poem does define the word perspective...each of us shares one to a point and then it breaks off into our own interpretation.

    The art is great...showing the elusiveness, the levels and shapes that appear to be, but aren't necessarily. Wow, a lot of wotk and thinking!

      Yes, the "thinking"---for I wanted to create
      an order, a unity of repetiton, rhymes,
      tying the titles to the last word
      of each piece to relate to
      the order, or illusionary
      order, of the
      drawings.

      I know there is a lot going on---
      but that is how life is--
      it doesn't wait for us to catch up---
      just keeps throwing stuff at us--
      and we have to catch it or dodge it
      to deal with it, each in our own way.

    Thank you with '!' to the tenth power

    I have saved the link (http://allpoetry.com/poem/5591645)

    --so I can visit again, lose myself in them, enjoy their depth and distance to let my subconscious tune in and find what I missed before.

    They go far beyond the obvious architectural qualities of two-point perspective into a surreal Dali-esque exploration, past what is near and accessible into what exists beyond, through time, another dimension. After tuning a sense of these into the iteration into time, I imagine new qualities that defy words. I cannot promise results but the fun is in trying! As well as space it is finding an entry to psychic distance not yet revealed.

    Poorly expressed with my inadequate words, when I have more time, perhaps yours will take mine to visit places where these images grew.

    Whee!!

      Hi, Terry!

      There is a sense of adventure in creating
      with either words or lines an existence
      that seems touchable yet unreachable---
      real, but not real, open to interpretation.
      And therein the motivation,
      to interpret as one wills!

      Your words are more than adequate and most interesting!

      Thank you for taking the time to explore and share.

    Great work poet! The line that really 'hit' me is:

      connection with the
      words on the page!

    There's so much stimuli that sometimes those boxes form on their own. Looking at the whole picture and its many elements can be overwhelming to process all at once. Then there are dreams and fantasies that help take the sting away from reality providing an oasis of sorts.

    I want to look at this again as more of a whole than the sum of parts to see where the mind takes me.

    This my friend is a masterpiece of thought and art.

      Although these pieces were created one by one
      and intentionally posted that way, I was anxious
      to see themall together, so anxious I was up
      late in the day to complete the task.

      Felt t was a bit overwhelming
      and even posted the separate
      links to keep it ordered in my mind!!

      Aha! The dreams healing the stings!

      May your mind play in all the heights oi illusion
      created to incite thoughts and dreams.
