Visual Communicators

Its so much easier to write it or draw it than it is to say it!! This is how i feel any how,and i have come to realize that i am not alone, some of the people at uni would rather die than give you eye contact because that could lead to a conversation, but they can communicate beautifully through their art! Don't get me wrong i love people and chatting but i would rather stick needles in my eyes than have to speak publicly, i just find it a trauma and I'm am not naturally able to articulate well. I know you can be taught how to give presentations but i feel you are either born a public speaker or you are not! The art world is a fantastic way of releasing what remains unsaid and i see it as therapeutic ( yes i am a mentalist). The stuff i am producing contains my issues and i am discovering a lot about my self and it is scary but also liberating ( oh the rambling of a middle aged basket case! ). I am trying to make sense of what motivates me and what i find inspirational in order to complete my critical studies presentation about my own practice. Most of the artists and designers that i admire don't have a problem communicating their feelings and opinions in a visual way and i guess that's the whole point! For this brief i have to talk publicly about my work , so deep breath ( some one pass me the needles! )hahah!!!
