Hi Vanessa19! This is a fascinating question. I am from a family of writers. Anyway, in my opinion as well as from much book research and meeting of live artists, the artist has the power to unify the community he/she resides in. Artists are sometimes not understood right away, but their words, paintings, and music etc. live on long after they leave a community. They bring joy to the community and a sense of vision to improve that community. Tools an artist can use to exhibit his/her power are surrounding himself/herself with hopeful art of any kind so that they can see light in the darkness. Another tool of an artist must be living a balanced life which means eating and sleeping regularly and healthfully, and spending plenty of time exercising in nature. The artist must care for their body and soul more than some others because the artist is more sensitive and because the artist has the job of seeing joy in the pain. The other tool that the artist must utilize is finding true friends because the more people support the artist can find, the more strength the artist will have to create their art.
Thank you for asking this question. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Best wishes!
