There are many kinds of experimental and intuitive art, spontaneously created but still fascinating and undervalued.

Naïve Art- is another free art form.
In any case, this art doesn’t have to make sense later, it is just a part of you, existing in the moment. Observers will take what they will from it.
The final statement should be that in the realm of art the most important characteristic is courage. Courage to pursue what some voice inside of you, against the tidal wave of everything that’s happening in the society, says go this way. Courage to pursue what you know you really have to pursue. That’s what counts.
– Richard Foreman, filmmakerCourage counts. Courage gives life to art; courage inspires those who open themselves up to it.
Some paintings, some works of art, give other artists courage.
Journal question: If your work lacks courage, could it be because you don’t believe in it deeply enough, don’t feel it is worth taking risks for? – Heron Dance

It is hard to write about Experimental Art because there is so much already written but I want to write in my own original voice. My own experiments started because I didn’t have formal training in art or mentors who knew a lot about it. I just started painting and learned about the labels later.
