Art!

A few weeks ago the challenge at Scrapping the Music was to use "Art" by Tanya Davis as your inspiration. The first time I heard this song I fell in love with it!

I could have made so many pages to go with this song, but decided it was time to scrapbook my book club's trip to Phoenix Art Museum in 2008 to discuss Burning Bright by Tracy Chevalier. I love that book. It's historical fiction about William Blake.
I used some DaVinci patterned paper for the background. We did not see any DaVincis or Blakes that day, but we still saw some cool stuff!

You should check out the video. It's super cute.

I love the lyrics. It makes me think of my blog and scrapbook pages shared on it in a way, because really my blog is for me but it is also public.

"Art" by Tanya Davis
I wondered what would be the worth of my words in the world
if i write them and then recite them are they worth being heard
just because i like them does that mean that i should mic them
and see what might unfurl

and i think of the significance of my opinions here
is it significant to be giving them does anybody care
just because i'm into this does that mean that i should live like it
and really do i dare

art, art i want you
art you make it pretty hard not to
and my heart is trying hard here to follow you
but i can't always tell if i ought to

so i pondered the point of my art in this life
if i make it will someone take it and think that it's genuine
would they be glad that i did 'cause they got something good out of it
would they leave me and be any more inspired

and i question the outcome of the outpouring of myself
if i tell everyone my stories would this keep me healthy and well
would it give me purpose, and to this world some sort of service
is it worth it, how can i tell

art, art i want you
art you make it pretty hard not to
and my heart is trying hard here to follow you
but i can't always tell if i ought to

art, art...
