Have you ever heard of the term: the Seven Arts? They are the following: architecture, sculpture, painting, music, poetry, dance and social sculpture. One of my goals this year is to explore the seven arts. I doubt I will be able to explore all of the seven, but I figure if I tackle at least one a year, in seven years, I will be a well versed Renaissance woman.
I am encouraging my kids to do the same. Studies have shown that happiness is driven by an individual desire to help others and to express oneself. The Seven Arts definitely helps the individual express his/herself.
Cheers to the seven arts. Hope you choose to do the same this year as well.
