Importance of Art and Creativity

 

We are all creative in one way or another. Some people are tend to show it on the outside, others might keep it hidden. All kids for sure enjoy drawing and making art. But as they're growing up, they often lose their passion for drawing and creating something beautiful because other things become more important.

All kids have a lot of imagination and drawing ideas. They see an inspiration in even the smallest and unimportant things. They could, for example spot the fly in their bedroom and will immediately try to draw it. If they will not be pleased with the result, they will try and try again. And when they are finished and happy with their product, they will proudly display it to their parents and family.

And that's how it should be forward, when they/we grow up and become an adult. We should be proud of what we drew, even if its not the best. Adults often have a lack of imagination and cconsequently lack of inspiration. 

No one is asking you to pick up a pencil and draw a masterpiece that people from all of the world will admire. But you just have to start somewhere, and believe that you can do it. If you don't have an inspiration, lay in bed and start thinking of what is beautiful for you. That could be nature, flowers, your kids or your wife... Something that is important to you. And that's the beginning of drawing process.

Than, to warm up, just start to scribble on a blank piece of paper that you will throw away after finished. Practice drawing round circles, lines, dots... For example, draw a circle and start shadowing it with different kinds of pencils and on different sides. You will quickly see what looks the best. 

And than, the real process begins. Try to start just with brief sketch. Draw the main lines, than go and draw the details. The last step in your drawing process is shadowing and making corrections to your drawing. 

 

If ordinary sketching just isn't for you or is too hard for you because you're only a beginner, you can try to draw observing different step-by-step drawing tutorials or try one of the many drawing apps you'll find on Google Play store. First, you can try to sketch on your smartphone or tablet, and when you get some experience, try yourself in traditional drawing by hand.

These Astonishing Facts Of Tyrannosaurus Rex Will L eave You Awestruck!

When it comes to dinosaurs, who would ever forget to mention the great carnivorous beast
tyrannosaurus rex? T.rex is one of the most terrifying creatures that stalked the planet once.
So, are you excited to know some of the amazing facts about it? Well then, read on to know
the thrilling facts.

A Complete tyrannosaurus skeleton is just a dream yet!
Scientists have succeeded to discover about fifty skeletons of it, but none of them can be stated as
complete. Among all these skeletons, the one that has gained much popularity and is greatly impressive is called Sue. It is named after a woman, who discovered the bones on her land
situated at South Dakota.

Was it a scavenger or hunter?
It is indeed the most popular among all the dinosaurs, still there are many areas that are left
to be discovered in case of T.rex. One of the most widely asked question about it since ages
was that whether it can be called as scavenger or a hunter.

T.rex probably has had the strongest bite no other creature could ever beat.
It is really difficult to estimate the power of the bite of a creature that has been obsolete for about more than 65 million years. Nevertheless, the brainy scientists of the Liverpool University greatly believe that they know the answer. They developed a computerized model that allowed them to compare and analyze the T.rex with modern carnivorous creatures. They found out that its bite was very powerful, so powerful that can never be beaten by any other creature. This predator’s bite is considered to be even three times more powerful and stronger than a huge white sharks. Isn’t it amazing?
So, if you too are wondering how to draw dinosaurs, just remember to think about its dangerous bite to get your sketch complete! Moreover, be sure to get influenced by its other facts too.

Their little arms were much stronger than you could ever imagine
T.rex has gained plenty of the ridicule because of the small arms that they had. In fact, they  looked funny on a giant creature such as T.rex. Moreover, they had hardly been in use by  the creature itself since they couldn’t even reach to the mouth of it.

231.4 million years old creatures

Do you already know what we are talking about? Dinosaurs, of course!

Dinosaurs - The Fascinating Giant Creatures That Inhabited the World before Humans

Dinosaurs are one of the most fascinating creatures that children, adults, and even older people are equally curious to know more about. Below we listed and explained a few common things that we all are confused about.

The Origin of Dinosaurs
There are two types of origins. They have evolved from either lizards or birds. It was  determined by their hip structures; there are two structures that the scientists have found till today and they point towards two origins.

The Reign
While the human civilization has already prepared nukes for mass extinction in just a few
thousands of years, the dinosaurs ruled the planet for nearly 150 million years.

The Evolution
The nature keeps perfecting its creations. We came into existence through the evolution of
monkeys. So were the dinosaurs, after millions of years of evolution there were innumerable types of dinosaurs. We just know the tip of the iceberg. There is an infinite species of them that we don’t know.

The Birds and Dinosaurs
For scientific purposes, there is a perspective that birds are evolved dinosaurs. Scientists see a very
high level of resemblance between the birds we see today and the dinosaurs. It might not be mere resemblance. The birds might actually be the surviving dinosaurs after their mass extinction.

Largest Flying Creatures
People think dinosaurs as the largest flying creatures, but researchers have found out about the existence of a larger species called as Pterodactyl, which existed along with the dinosaurs and had a wing span of 40 feet, which is wider than today’s airplanes.

Two-Brain Theory
 It is not proven that some sorts of the dinosaurs had two brains, one in the head and other in the back. So, all the jokes you have heard about someone having brain in their back might have a scientific origin.

Chickenosaurus
Dr. Alan Grant, a scientist in the United States is developing a new species called Chickenosaurus by genetically modifying the DNA of chicken egg with dinosaur DNA. So, the  fantasy might actually come true very soon.

Drawing a dinosaur is also a great experience. One might try drawing a dinosaur using a mobile application that helps to draw things. You can learn how to draw dinosaurs by watching video tutorials and by practicing with a drawing app on you mobile or tablet. It is the best to start on digital platform for drawing, as it becomes much easier to edit and share your drawings.
