Why Art Matters in Poverty
Found this article interesting. I made bookshelfs out of cardboard boxes on my hospital bed. This is the land of duct tape and jerry-rigging things. I have done things like cut out pictures and make collages on the wall and used to love decorating apartments on the cheap when there was more energy in my body.
Love the article link! Though I am not as poor as that woman yet; I haven't bought a coat, shoes, boots,etc. in over 8 yrs. I haven't gone to the movies or out to eat,etc., in over 15 yrs. I don't get cable TV or any satellite dish. I haven't had my haircut in over 20yrs. (I do it myself).I buy most clothes off season, on sale or just plain cheap. I sacrifice most things to buy craft supplies. I agree; creativity is the stuff of life! Really liked the article!
