There Is Nothing New Under the Sun

All creative thought’s start with our surroundings From the trees, birds and water even the ground we walk on Each and everything mankind has created Has come from the earth itself The ink we write with paint we paint with The buildings we build and the cars we drive The houses we live in and the furniture we sit on The pills we take and ships that we build All came from the earth giving us our creativity Our artistic abilities we each have are a gift Some are greater then others but we all have it Whatever is crated in our minds is a recreation Paintings are created from what has been seen Sculptures are created from what has been seen Poetry has been created from what we have seen and done Original creations comes from the combining of other creations Art is all around us and we recreate it individually We look at someones paintings in awe thinking What a talented person forgetting that painting Of that snow seen in the mountings was created by God first We have taken the paint and canvas that we have created And recreated that mountain snow seen we had in our mind We create a statue of a man on a horse and look at it in awe But when we see a man riding a horse we do not think twice Man saw birds fly so they created the airplane Man created the wheel most likely from a rock that rolled Man created fire most likely from lighting hitting a tree All of mans creativity has come from the earth Contest Theme: Creativity in Visual Arts Not for the Contest

You have made a valid point. We sometimes forget to stand back and say "WOW!" when we see the creations of He who gave us are ability to create.
