Why every brush stroke counts | Nia Kharebashvili | TEDxYouth@TbilisiGreenSchool
This TEDx talk highlights how every brushstroke in art, no matter how small, shapes the final piece. It challenges misconceptions about modern art and encourages a deeper appreciation for the intention and emotion behind artistic creations.
Nia Kharebashvili is a 15-year-old student at Saburtalo campus. She enjoys spending her free time drawing, listening to music, and hanging out with her friends. Nia enjoys art a lot; she believes art is meant to portray emotion, tell a story, spread awareness, and so much more. She wants people to understand that art is more than just paint on a canvas or a visually appealing drawing with no soul. She hopes to show them the impact art can have on the world and how significant even a single paint stroke can be, along with the weight it can carry. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
