HELLO .....

Finally I'm starting up with my blog. This is the place where i will post all my works and thoughts about 'Art'. As I totally believe with the thought of German Philosopher, poet and dramatist - Friedrich Schiller, that "ART IS DAUGHTER OF FREEDOM", (he views art as daughter because in German, Art i.e "Kunst" is a female noun.) When we use the term 'art' we are not restricting ourselves only to sketching and drawing, but by saying 'art' we take into account a whole big and varied arena of different art forms.

So, I'll be posting all my art forms, whatever I do and I hope to get some replies. :D :D
