On January 31, OOLY will celebrate National Inspire Your Heart With Art Day because at the heart of OOLY is a passion to inspire creativity and self-expression for all. Art, by definition, is the expression of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculptures, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power. So whether a piece of art has inspired you or the actual creation of art is your inspiration, art at the end of the day has the power of inspiration on many levels. How does art affect your heart? How can you celebrate Inspire Your Heart with Art Day this year? Here are a few inspirational ideas… ❤️: Celebrate the art around you The beginning quote from LOVE ACTUALLY comes to mind…”If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around.” You know what, so is art! Photographs, murals, paintings, pottery, drawings, poetry…the list could go on because we are always surrounded by the creative expressions from artists. ❤️: Celebrate your inner creativity Your skill level does not matter when you are creating. From drawing to painting, dancing to knitting, let your heart take control and express your inner artist. If you are still looking for something to ignite that creativity, OOLY has all the tools to inspire and create. DRAWING: OOLY has ALL the drawing supplies for beginners to skilled illustrators.- Modern Metallics: A unique colored pencil set with 12 unique colors that'll leave a glistening sheen.

❤️: Celebrate local artists
You might know a local artist but not actually know they are an artist! Artists are everywhere, so, keep an eye out for local markets, research your local arts charities, support arts programs in your community and schools. These small amounts of support continue inspiring on so many levels.
❤️: Celebrate by learning
You can learn about art in so many different formats. Take a class on water coloring, drawing, mixed media or photography. Starting with a class to see what inspires YOU will continue to energize your creativity.
❤️: Celebrate by visiting your hometown art galleries, art museums, ballet or theater.
Artist galleries pop up from time to time in cities and are a great way to see artists from around the world with different artist exhibitions. Art museums are a wonderful place to see some of the most famous pieces. Ballet and dance companies are a different way to experience art but it is art, all the same. And not to mention a theater, from big Broadway shows that make their way across the country to attending the local high school's spring play.
Celebrating art, in our opinion, should not just be done on national days. In fact, you can celebrate art and let it inspire your heart every day by just looking around you!
Celebrate art with OOLY!
