Developing The Art Cortex

Today was a monumental day for me.  I made my first artwork with my own hands.  For a long while I thought I was born blind and then had low vision and then thought I was disabled.  But now I know I'm none of these things but am merely partially sighted.  As such drawing with my hands wasn't one of my things.  The artwork is quite childish, but then so is anything one does for the first time.  Children's art is childish not because children made it but because the brain's artistic ability, the art cortex, isn't developed.  Each cortex needs to be developed and we all start at the childish level.  Thus my art cortex is at it's infancy, toddler art level.  I dare not show you my first art piece, but as I look at it now, I can assure you it is laughable, happy, as it is a giant smiley face.

Long live Art!  Long live Art!  Long live Art!
