SE VALE PINTAR

"Se vale pintar " , a recent idea that everything is possible to turn into art, and art challanges you to use your creativity, for those painting without a clue of what they are doing.

Has a new style of art emerged from all the local artist of the Rio Grande Valley and how near is the local production as a whole to the art of tomorrow ? Is there a trend at hold where we imitate each others work, hopelessly , unconsciously repetitively ? Is there an economic hold on local artist? Do we have the tools to really practice art in modern ways beyond the sketching on paper or easel painting, or even worst scrounging around for trash or industrial left over objects to use as a medium of art. Ever find yourself shopping for discounted spray paint, or oops bad mix paint at the local Wal-Marts and Home-Depot's ?
Is the trend do with what you gots...?

How much do you as a local artist recycle your work, or find new use for scrap trash and turn into your art ?

Is this trend perhaps due to state and local educational funding for better art classes? Just as we are with sports seasons do we need art seasons ? More trips to museums, more exposure to art, more supplies, better facilities ????

What kind of art education and exposure have you had growing up locally ? Tell us your story ..
