Wisdom of the Creative Realms: Jester's Choice #grogz
Through the ages, the arts have spoken truth and wisdom in a way that resonates far deeper than the words from any textbook can. King Arthur's table was round to encourage equality and open sharing of opinions. From November 10-14, consider my blog to be a round table at which I invite you to sit and share wisdom from the creative arts. Today we're finding bits of wisdom from Jester's Choce: any wisdom from any of the creative arts.
~.~.~.~.~
Either in the comments here or at your own blog, share with the round table a quote or piece of wisdom from any of the creative arts. Here's mine:
#1 The same subject can appear quite different when viewed in a new light.
#2 Nothing in this world is unchanging.
#3 Like the haystacks, all of us wear differenct faces depending on the time of day, season of our lives, and light of circumstances.

2 random winners of eBooks of Shades of Avalon by Carol Oates.
Ben Pryor grew up as an average kid in Camden, Maine, unaware of the supernatural storm brewing in his Celtic blood. However, at nineteen, as the last born in the royal line of beings that once ruled Atlantis, Ben has eagerly embraced his newfound abilities and birthright. In the sequel to Shades of Atlantis, Ben will delve deeper than he ever imagined into the old, magical ways of the Guardians, the secrets of Excalibur, and the truth behind the legend of King Arthur. What exactly did the Council hide beneath the citadel of Camelot? And can it help get Caleb back without putting the world in danger?
Aliana Fagan spent her childhood traveling the world, dreaming of legendary heroes and mythical lands. But after the sudden death of her parents, she hides behind the safety of her camera and her art until a vivid recurring dream compels her to dig into her father's research about Avalon and Camelot. When she is hurled into a magical realm by forces she thought were only the stuff of fairy tales, she finds herself thrown into an adventure she could never have imagined. Nearly everything she thought she knew about Arthurian legend was wrong.

Any of Frank Frazetta's artwork - scantily clad women are sexy. (Yeah, I knew that before seeing his work.)
I'm quite enamored with the abstractioninsts - Miro, Picasso. Like Monet's play on color, they show us a different way to view the world. And I adore Mr. Van Gogh.
Your thoughts on viewpoints are interesting and I would completely agree. This is why the same subject and even the same story can be approached repeatedly with different results. Different authors see a story in their own ways and those stories can often be treated in drastically different ways.
Even an author can approach the same story at different times of their lives and come up with a work that seems totally new and apart from the original.
