(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, March 16, 2015 ) New York, New York -- Lovers of wise quotations and art are in for a treat with Hand Touched Crafts, ‘Celebration of Creative Genius' promotion this week. The fine art paintbrush supply company will celebrate and promote artistic creativity for seven days starting on Albert Einstein's birthday March 14.
Ms Tammy Hill explains why the company chose 1921 Noble Prize Physicist Albert Einstein as a source of inspiration for artists.
"We chose Albert Einstein as the muse for our Creative Genius Celebration week because not only did he have a lot of interesting things to say about art and creativity but he also believed that art and science were essential the same. As one of the greatest geniuses of the 20th Century, it seemed fitting to use his wisdom to help inspire customers of our Student Artist Brush Set.
At Hand Touched Crafts we often hear people say they cannot paint because they are not creative, but creativity is something everyone is born with because we are all born with an imagination. Creativity is simply the use of one's imagination to produce an idea or an object such as a painting. Albert Einstein placed a great deal of importance on the use of imagination and fantasy. He also believed that genius comes from not being afraid of making mistakes or attempting to solve a problem through experimenting with an idea multiple times, which is why we think he is a good source of inspiration for artists. Many artists consider that they never finish learning their craft, that their work is a constantly evolving process. However, often during that process we lose steam, or motivation, or even confidence which is why a little motivation in the form of some wise words can help us get back on track again".
Albert Einstein claimed that when he pondered the great mysteries of science he did so by visualizing images and feelings, a practice familiar to many artists. He wrote, "I rarely think in words at all. A thought comes, and I may express it in words afterwards" (Wertheimer, 1959). He believed that the only difference between art and science was the manner in which an idea is expressed. He wrote, "If what is seen and experienced is portrayed in the language of logic, then it is science. If it is communicated through forms whose constructions are not accessible to the conscious mind but are recognized intuitively, then it is art" (Calaprice, 2000, 271).
Hand Touched Crafts series of Albert Einstein's creativity quotes can be found on the company's Facebook, Twitter, Google + and Pinterest webpage's. For those inspired by the series who wish to express their creativity by learning to paint, Hand Touched Crafts Student Artist Brush Set is multipurpose 12 piece golden synthetic set of artist brushes in a practical waterproof carry roll. The set is available for sale from the company website and Amazon.
