Hershey the Hedgehog likes Art



Ever been to an art museum? Hershey has. Here, Hershey has had the opportunity to see things through a different set of eyes, with a different perspective. Hershey didn’t like everything he saw here at this art museum in Austin, Texas, but it didn’t take him long to realize that art wasn’t about being liked or disliked. It was about opening the mind up to something from someone else’s heart.

There are dozens and dozens of ways to describe art. It really isn’t quite that easy to pin down. When it comes to the essence, art is about expression. It’s about showing people something. Sometimes, it’s something they’ve seen before. Sometimes it’s something easy to make. Sometimes, it’s complex and hard to understand. Sometimes it has a point to make. But always, and I mean always, there is something to see. There is something.

Hershey loves art. This little hedgehog knows that art isn’t all about being photographed—it’s about doing your own thing.

So Hershey wants to inspire you today. This is his little work of art, this blog, and it’s time for you to make yours. Write a story. Take a photo. Paint something. Draw something. Make up a dance. Sing something. Because no matter what you do, whether you make something good or bad, simple or complex, ugly or beautiful, it is always something that you have done.

And that’s how Hershey sees art.
