a question for you

i was thinking about something that luke said. he said something about how we cant talk about what is buried deep within out minds. its too complex to be put into words. the human mind isn't a language we can understand.  he said that we look to things in art, like a movie or painting and talk about that when we're really talking about the unspoken in our minds. for some reason this lead me into thinking about Rilke. he thinks that artists have the need to be creative and do art. i think this is because they need an outlet to put those things that we cannot say out of our minds. i then realized that i do the same thing. 
when we talked about it in class i was jealous because i though that i do not have the artistic need. but thinking about what luke said with what rilke said at the same time, and i realized that i do have an artistic outlet. i have had one every since i was little, i just didn't know it was art. i know this sounds weird but, before i go to sleep i have to tell a story to myself in my head. i have different characters going on an adventure and at the same time they are realizing their problems and work though them in a hidden way. these characters that i write in my head really deal with what i cannot talk about.  i write scrips and i didn't even know it. i now fell bad for people who do not have an outlet. they have to look into other peoples outlets, like reading a book or watching a movie. 

so now, after all of that rambling i post a question. What acts as your artistic need to deal with what cannot be spoken?

  1. This is GREAT. I think we can ask the class your question - make it an assignment of sorts.
