An artist cannot fail; it is a success to be one.
Charles Horton Cooley
An artist is a dreamer consenting to dream of the actual world.
George Santayana
Just watched this amazing video and wanted to share it with you. I am always amazed by the awe inspiring power of art to help us see the world in different ways.
What do you think about the video or the quotes above? Are you an artist? What is the vision of the world you want to share? How did this video change the way you think about the world? Who are some powerful women in your life and why are they powerful? Share your thoughts!

I think this video shows how the woman expressed her feelings throught art that she could do anything if she sets her mind to it.
This video changes the way I think of the world by telling me that no matter where your from, you can accmplish anything and bring a smile back to the world and you can be a hero!
My mum is a powerful woman in my life because she seems to be there always when i need help.
Happy Independence day Nigeria!
In the video you can see that they are telling us about how they live by using art. I saw some happy and sad faces. I think they are trying to show us the different expressions they have, so that they can show the feelings with us. I can see how different there life is from my life.
We think that the video showed how the lady expressed the way she felt, and we thought it was awesome what they did with the trains eyes and the mountains faces.
We dont truly know if we are artists, but, if we tryied, and we wanted to be an artist, then we could be one.
We want the world to look and be a peacefull place where people will be able to share there inner thoughts, and feelings with one another.
We thought that the video changed the way we thought because although all the people were poor, they still lived happily together.
Larissa:
I think my mom is a powerful woman in my life because she took good care of me and she still does.
Iona:
I think that my mum, or my granny are the most powerfull women to me in my life because they are both good people to look up to, and maybe I want to be just like them. someday.
Great comments James! Enjoy Nigerian Independence Day.
Thank you sir!
Celine, You have some great ideas here! Also, I would like to know who is a powerful woman in your life and why?
Kind regards
James,
What is the difference between intrepid teacher and travelling teacher?
Iona and Larissa,
You proved that you were artists last year in the musical!
I enjoyed reading your thoughtful comments, thank you.
kind regards
The artist shows us that everybody is someone. She shows us how the people feel through art. If you think you can do something then you will be most likely to do it.
My grandmother is a powerful woman because even though she is old she still helps children that that their parents cannot take care of. She makes them feel loved and that they are like anyone els.
My mum is a powerful woman because she always takes care of our family and no matter where we live she always makes us feel at home!
I think Interpid teacher means a fearless teacher and travelling teacher means…… a teacher who goes around the world to teach people? or may be a bilingual teacher. May I ask why you asked me that question sir?
Traveling Teacher is actually Ms. G.
Cool answer!
Reza, this is a very thoughtful answer, well done.
Kind regards
oh then I was wrong. So that means your the Intrepid teacher! Are we going on chatzy today?
Then it should be Thank you ma. sorry about that Ms.g
I think this video shows us that how the womans feel about the world and also other things. Simply expressing their feelings and wanted to share with other people.
I thougt that the art is everywhere around us but i didn’t think that we can see the faces on the train and on the mountain(or something).
My mum is powerful woman because she doesn’t give up always, when i was young, she has to make money so we didn’t met alot but my mum always care about me and doesn’t give up of nothing.I really respect her more than the others!
My uncle is a powerful man because when i need help with anything,anytime and anywhere he helps me.
A powerful woman I know is my great grandmother because she has lived her life as good as she could and even though she has been a lot she never loses grip of any thing she can always smile although she hasnt got it easy. My great grandfather is very sick but she stile stands strong, she could cry or be unhappy but she isnt, she is the most powerful woman i’ve ever met.
The woman shares her feelings through art with the rest of the world. She lives in a poor country but is still positive about life.
I,m still thinking about powerful women in my life but will tell you tomorow at school.
I think that this video shows people that anyone can be an artist if they try really hard and put ther mind to it. No matter how old you are, or where you’re from, it encourages you that you can be an artist and maybe change the way the world thinks about art.
I think my mom is a powerful woman because she always encourages me to do the right things and the right way, and always takes care of my family selflessly.
i liked the video because it explained what the main point was by i am an artist because i love to make art such as still life drawings and clay sculptures. my vision is what i see the world as
I think this video shows how this woman feels and why she is powerful. This piece of art is to show people all around the world what makes this woman powerful. I thought it was amazing how they had the eyes on the train and the faces on the mountain, that would’ve taken a lot of work.
This video changes the way I think about art because it shows you that anything can be art and that everyone is an artist. For example this video is a piece of art and so are all the blog posts in their own way.
My mum, grandma & great grandma are all very important and powerful women to me.
My mum looks after my family and keeps us all safe and happy no matter what.
My grandma is very powerful and is always so generous and was a great role-model for my mum.
Also my great grandma always gives me so much support and always helps me. She used to be a dancer so she always knows the way I’m feeling.
