A Reflection from Rutherford Yates, TAPH Artist Partner & Participant

Mr. Yates was one of the participants at our first Get Creative with TAPH on February 22. He has been apart of The Art Project, Houston since October 2013.  We invited him to write a reflection about his experience with The Art Project, Houston and Get Creative with TAPH. 
Here is his reflection...

Saturday, the 22nd of February 2014, I was fortunate enough to attend 2 classes of The Art Project at St. John's Church Downtown from 10am until 2pm.  These workshops were taught by 2 brilliant local creative artist.  This experience opened my mind up to the reality that there are numerous things in this life I can attempt to learn.  If no more than the principles or theories of how things operate. (How did they do that.)

The participating hands on in the creative work process show me that if, I focused my mental abilities in a structured and controlled environment my potential is unlimited. There is always a different angle to look at what you are going through.  I learned that God is healing me and it is a process. 

The Art Project has been a stabilizing factor in my life. I am coming out of homelessness. These workshops have allowed me to maintain my sanity through its various creative projects. This was exactly what I needed at this stage in my life. 

The Art Project and St. John's Church has exposed my mind to a whole new world out there.

Reflection from Get Creative with TAPH Participant, Amanda Emmons

Ask me a question and I’ll have to think for just a moment to find the proper words to answer your inquiry. Place an art media before me and my thoughts and my hands will immediately begin to work to create something…taking me to another place. 

The Art Project, Houston allows me that space and guidance to come together with like energies to explore…and it gives me life. I love it when I have one vision of how the piece is to come out, I make a mistake and it turns out to be the best imperfection that makes the piece unique…such as life.  And to watch the process of other masterpieces in the making is inspiring and life giving in itself.  It feeds my spirit.

Amanda Emmons was 1 of 31 participants at our first Get Creative with The Art Project, Houston day on Saturday, February 22. Get Creative with TAPH was a day of creative workshops offered by professional Houston based artists, helping each participant tap into their creativity, learn new art practices and create masterpieces to take with them. Each participant got to select 2 out of 6 workshops offered for their donation.  
Our next Get Creative with TAPH will be held on Saturday, May 2 (10am-2pm) at St. John's Downtown. Hope to see you then! For registration details click HERE.
