Maker Manifesto

When I first read that the prompt was to make a manifesto, I became slightly worried, because I had no idea what a manifesto was.  After looking it up and discovering that it is basically a list of goals for your life, or your personal intentions, I became very enthralled with the thought that every person actually does have a personal manifesto for their life.  I love the idea that someone can have a manifesto for multiple things as well.  My personal maker manifesto is to keep all avenues of creativity alive within me forever, and to experiment with new creative things.  I believe art has been a pretty big part of my life.  I have always made DIY things, I used to sing in every talent show throughout elementary school, and I absolutely adore anything having to do with artsy things such as architecture, design, and really just art in general.  I have many things that I strive to create or be involved in in the future.  I someday would love to design my own custom home, I want to create a blog that people will actually be interested in reading about myself, and I have the desire to design my own piece of jewelry someday, literally just for fun.  Though these are somewhat dramatically different things, I think they would really bring out a part of the things I really enjoy and appreciate, and turn them into something physical, rather than simply an idea.  I think that art is so interesting, and I believe that it helps to shape every individual in their opinions and in their perceptions of life. In all honesty, my manifesto is really to be involved with creating or viewing art forever, because it creates part of who I am, and the things in which I care about most.
