I create because I feel something inside of me burning to come out from every loose seem in my body. Bouncing off the walls and screaming to be set free. It makes me feel like I'm filled with energy ready to break away from the world itself, pushing past boundaries and beyond what is thought to be possible. I call it passion. It gives me the uncontrollable urge to create. To run free. To inspire. To adventure. To open minds. To try and show this feeling to the world. If I didn't create I do not think that I would be able to be the person I feel like I truly am.

As a little kid in an all boys catholic boarding school, there were aspects of me that felt unexpressed & unexplored, basically I felt confined and suffocated by gender norms. So the day my little fingers learnt to picked up those brushes & pencils and started drawing it felt so liberating, the tools to create my art became my best friend and still is. Art class was my fav period in school. Even till this day I can say ART is freedom, a beautiful place I call home. :)

I create from an overdose of over-thought feelings trying to escape the waning of affect, in hopes that eventually my life will become something and I can invoke feelings, ideas, and help bring out pure emotional humanity in others as art (music specifically) has done for me. Thanks man, that felt great. Waning of affect had me down today and I didn't even know it's name till now.

YES! We need art!! I've been feeling so lazy and unmotivated this week and I hate that, but you've inspired me to start creating again!

I create for the joy of making something out of nowhere, what used to be a blank space is now a creation of something that use to be in my head but now is out there and that is truly amazing.

Thanks for watching something we've created about why I create! Why do you create?

Growing up surrounded by books and sciences, I learned that Art was a mere vain expression, yet it was one I always pursue. During the last year, I went on an exchange year. A complete stranger and foreigner, I was exposed to theater, photography, and all different sorts of art. I feel in love with the humanity it gave me. Now, it's one of my priorities, because it's essential to my happiness and being. Thank you for your videos. I am taking a film class next year instead of taking a second science in IB. People discourage me about this decision. But I know for a fact that this "risk" is one I need to take. So, again, thank you for the inspiration and the amazing creation.

oh my god. that stick man . what are you not able to do Chase? Your words, Your drawings, your filming, your editing, Your an inspiration to so many .

art is so important! (and not just because it's going to give me a job in the future.) i've done extensive research on the benefits of art and educating kids with art and there's so much good that comes with it. you can help reinforce a taught language with pictures, help kids learn science with added art, calm down someone with art therapy... the list goes on! art is so important and it isn't just for the select few; it's for everyone.

Art is the most important thing in the world to me. I wouldn't be here without it, I truly believe.

Art is the most important part of my life. It helps me understand my self more each year and connects me to millions of people all over the world on the same journey. I make art as a comfort to my soul.

I've been teaching visual arts in public schools for 30 years.. and you nailed it!

I create to feel comfort. To express my feelings, emotions and ideas. To feel like I've achieved something when someone looks at what I have created and smiles. And to make me feel as though I can do anything. ✨

What is created is not art. What is perceived is art. Creation explores how we can put things together. Art explores how we can take things apart.

Sent this to a friend :) I think she'll like it. Meanwhile a few thoughts of my own - I am a bit jealous of your desk, I like how it's worn and there's coffee mug marks on it, and that you have all those brushes at your disposal. Then again, I'm sure if I had a desk for such things, when it was brand new, I'd be upset about spilling or leaving marks in it ... and that's a strange though all on it's own :) I recently attended a workshop with an art therapist with my co-workers (we're all psychologists), and when she introduced herself, and said we'll be, apart from conversing and going over case-studies, actually creating the strangest thing happened - I was very happy about it, but then again I knew I would be, because I like creating, but almost all of my co-workers, without fail, expressed anxiety regarding approaching the task at hand. They were anxious about what they'll make, and how it'll turn out, and labeling themselves as "un-creative" or "untalented", complaining they lack ideas ... once they started going some of them started singing to a different tune. The whole thing was a so odd to me, as someone who has always enjoyed painting and photography, and sculpting and half a dozen other weird things (seriously, every once in a while I just get craft-crazy and start a hobby, like wood-burning, and perler beads and what not :P ). Seeing other people react so differently to what I consider using another language, one that is liberating and expressive and full of feelings (positive and negative) was really an eye opening experience. And the more I thought about it, when I create, I'm usually around people who also partake in creating, because they want to do just that. There's this whole different conversation, in which it's very obvious an natural for us to be creating. Then on the other hand, I saw all of my co-workers, all of whom I respect as professionals regress into this helpless, unsure, and self-devaluating mass. And it made me wonder - when do people learn that they are "not good at .... "? and why is that what's "important"to us at all. I mean, who hasn't started sketching or writing or making something that didn't turn out quite like they wanted? we all have, why do some of us continue at it? and others take that at face-value and quit. And sure, there's a matter of varying levels of talent, not everyone is "good" right from the get go. But there's also a matter of practice and refining skills and evolving. Maybe creating is not for everyone. But I guess that what I'm saying is, people should have more courage to try, to let go of expectations every once in a while, and do something out of their comfort-zone, because they just might like it.

I create in order to be happy. I know this may sound weird but I suffer with depression and to create/craft/write in my journal makes me happy. I love it.

Man this is good :) I love expressing myself through art because it makes me feel better/happy and somehow I feel more in tune with myself. I can say things through creating that I couldn't just say in words. I feel like saying something through creating/art is more powerful and beautiful. I love it.

THIS STOP MOTION IS INSANE !! wowowow I always feel so inspired by your videos ^^ One of the most creative minds in the world x

I need get this out of the way before I say anything else, omg baby Chase was the cutest little thing I just wanted to pinch his cheeks. ❤️ Now that, thats out of the way. Art is extremely important in all the ways you mentioned and more. For some people it's a job for others it's an escape from reality. It helps them balance their life and get out of a stressful headspace for a little bit. Art doesn't have to be a painting or drawing it can be creating videos, taking photographs or digital design (and many, many more). These videos from all the New Age Creators are always so inspiring. They want to make me get out in the world and do good with my art. Show everyone what i'm made of and capable of doing. Thank you for this. ❤️

I've been drumming for a little over 3 years now because it is a way for me to release. There is a style of drumming that I can play for any day and any emotion. Hard rock on my normal days, funk on my fun days, or jazz and slow jams on the more rainy days. music is a way for me to express what I have going on and having other people hear and appreciate my beats is unmatched.

Im completley in love with art and with Chase. You can make words and wolds connect to explain all of us how do you feel o how do you see things, and for me, you've been one of my more important points of reference and inspiration when creating. Once again, congratulations. I will never get tired of your mind.

I believe art is a gateway to one's true self. When we create, we open all our doors and allow anything and everything to come pouring out into one creation. It's one of the only times we are truly ourselves, one of the only times we get to see ourselves as a whole and that can also be scary but blissful in a way. Therefore I believe, if a creative person stops creating, they in turn, cease to exist completely. So yes, Art is extremely important :)

word. art is what made Steve Jobs's ideas so good

Art is really important because it can show case so many things such as an entire culture, history, and emotion and I think that that is so cool and people can learn together and bond together. I am not book smart what so ever but when it comes to art that's where I flourish the most. I play flute and bassoon as a form of art, and I draw, paint and make things out of clay and this is probably the best form of stress relief and self expression there is for me. Art and music saves lives, and it surely has given me meaning to mine.

chase's videos make me feel SO MANY THINGS at the same time

I create because I want to contribute to the mediums I love so much (film, TV, comics etc) and because I want to give people somewhere to escape to.

I think art is definitely important! It gives us the opportunity to get away from the bad things in the world, and we escape into a whole new reality. I create to inspire. I want people to feel like their ideas are important, and that their ideas CAN make changes in the world. Maybe not everyone, but at least a few people can have a better life; all because of what you created.

I create as it gives me a way to vent myself, to show others my experiences my struggles my feelings, I feel that in the day and age of the Internet words can sometimes become less of what they are. Therefore creating allows me to show the real purpose behind the choice of words, it shows exactly what I want people to experience.

Why do I create? I create stories to draw out emotions from people and take them on a journey that I am dying to share with them. One of the greatest feelings in the world is stepping into the unknown wilderness of an idea, blazing a trail and discovering the beauty that was hidden from sight, and then leading other people down that path to share with them all of the amazing discoveries that I have found. I create to to experience the journey.

I create because I just love it . is just habit that is part of my existence

I really get chills when I watch your videos and feel an immense need to create. I love it. Your videos are so incredibly awesome, art is super important and your art especially so.

I create because there's nothing I wanted to do more since I was little. In high school, I was in band, theatre, and dance team. Now, I'm a circus artist which combines all of the skills and lessons I learned in high school and beyond. It's what I've always wanted. Thank you, Chase.

Chase you have earned the little known honorary title know was The Creativity Gnome King. Beautiful work.

I create to feel something. And I create to express my feelings. Very well made video!

I create poetry to express my rawest emotions in the hopes that someone will connect with what I'm saying and understand me; to inspire others into creating something unique and beautiful. And most importantly, to love and be loved by others.

@SoulPancake I create because I love the gratification I feel with the end result, I pour my heart and soul into fabric paper wood and paints. It's starts with an idea just a picture in my head, than my fingers make it tangible, it makes me happy and proud that my ideas become something that not just myself but everyone can enjoy. @SoulPancae

I wasn't expetiegg much from this video. Mainly because I love photography, and thats the closest to art I can do. But doesn't have much to do with me actually doing much. But I got a lot of it, especially the part of loving/seeing art(my oversimplification of what was said). And that took me back to photography, isn't it seeing the beauty in something, and capturing it. Not only things made buy people, buy things that exist in the universe, like sunsets. Maybe the reason I take photos, is to capture the painting the universe has made. Why do I create? What passion drives me? I don't know, its just something in me that tells me, I should capture that moment.

I create so I can express the things I can't say. I create so that my fellow humans can start to understand the thoughts of a depressive, panicked, and distracted human. I create to feel alive, so that through my creations I know the battle happening in my head isn't being fought in vain. Thank you for this beautiful creation.

Wow chase, i love each one of your videos, you made me feel, think, and love too much, you are going to be someone vrey important in this world

I can't even fathom how much this explains me

since I started writing poetry it has made me realise just how much I've been bottling up. art really is important to get out those feelings. fantastic video with incredible stop motion !!

Officially my fave video of the week, and the week's not even over!

I couldnt agree more! I create to strengthen the bonds with myself, to paint the world I want to be in. Thats what makes me truly happy

Art is the thing that helps us stay ourselves. It took me a while to realise that what I do is art too. I write poetry, a lot, but my perfectionism doesn't allow me to write the way i'd like to write. Art is what I need, to conquer anxiety, panic, perfectionism and irrealism.

I think everybody create even if it is not the goal. Creating is important in our lives and it helps to control our emotions. I often create when I am happy to share my happiness with others but creating when you are sad is great too. When I am sad I usualy draw Something different as the things I draw when I am happy but both Worth it because it help to know how you feel.

Art gives soul to things and makes life a little bit more bearable. I always look forward to your videos Chase. Keep it up.

Thank you for this video. I like to create because of the feeling it gives me: that I am heading toward something, and that I might be part of something bigger. It's a way of connecting with people, and creating bonds of understanding. I believe that Art serves human connection most profoundly. It is vital during these times, in which it feels like we can be so detached from each other, and from our environment. I especially like to write, and to read stories.

THIS IS A MASTERPIECE! Seriously Chase's is by far, one of the most inspirational channels ever.

This video is beautful, again! And your voice is so relaxed to listen to ;)

Art is a way to express my emotions without words, and an attempt to bring people closer

I create because the feeling when a whole orchestra moves as one blows my mind every time I experience it x

Yes art is so important, it's a way to get out of my head and talk without words to show people who I am and what I see, I love art with all my heart and can't wait to draw, paint or write something new. It makes me smile and feel better when I'm sad or scared. I love this channel it's my favorite thank y'all so much

Your videos are so good man! I love them!! That little metal dude is sick!!

A great video, as always Chase :)! I want to reach other people and touch them with my creations. Most of the time it's an emotion that I try to express through music or stories. It is almost an urge and it gives me the opportunity to relieve stress. The world wouldn't be the same without art. In my opinion creative people should get more support and should have more possibilities to educate themselves in music/ film/ art schools. Sadly I always feel like it's something people don't take as serious, especially career wise. Everyone should always be able to do what they love, and everyone should be accepted with their decision. It doesn't matter if you want to become a lawyer or a musician! Just do more of what makes you happy!

Everyone has something to say, the ones who get heard, are the same ones who go out and say it. I create because I 'feel' something from deep down and I need to share it with the world. Thanks man for saying what you think.

Art is important because it lets up express our emotions and ideas, forming meaning in them and on that way letting us understand them.

Art is important. It allows us to lose ourselves and find ourselves all at once. It drives me and gives me purpose, while clearing my head. I create because it's a part of me speaking without a literal voice. Art invokes communication through a certain void of overflowing emotion. Whenever we create something, it's as raw, vulnerable, and real as it gets.

There's no words to describe this video ! It's more than perfect !

My latest video pretty much sums up why I create... but in short, I used to create as a distraction from the noise of life - but now I make videos as a way of starting conversations with people that I hope will either change how they live, how they think, or how they feel. And well, I'm in love with the idea of being more than just dust in the corner of someone's existence. I'm in love with the idea of rather being a light that shines bright enough in their dark that I can guide them to wherever or whatever "home" is. (And yes, i'm quoting Coldplay.)

thank you, Chase for always making inspirational videos, and to everyone from new age creators. thank you, all and keep making awesome and videos that make me feel something x

I feel u man; -to me art is important because it acts as a vehicle to get into and ride away, far away from this world we're living in, where sheets of paper and letters that grade you, end up defining u- ; ❤️ed the video

"We all Need to experience Beauty". This sentence is so wonderful and powerful!!

Chasão! I love you, man! Cannot say in words how you videos push me to unlock my best. All of this high quality handmade look is so inspiring! Muito obrigado! So, creation for me is like a detox session. If I do not do it, I'll get sick and its migh kill me.

Love the musicality of your feelings and thoughts through words and visuals. Keep doing your creations, inspiring artistry.

Always blown away by your videos!! Great job!

Creating makes me feel alive.

This is so inspiring! I love creating things too but I'm not really as good as most people are. This reminded me to just create art for myself without minding others' criticisms and appreciate those who see good in it

Absolutely AMZING I love this video

Your videos inspire me so much! Thank you Chase!!

It truly is a divine desire to create!

3 mil subs, 58,655 views and 4 years passed... MAKES SENSE

I'm a graphic designer and creator and what I love about it, is to help others. We might sometimes make music or a painting for just ourselves but sometimes the art and emotions with in it resonate with others, creating a bond and helping them to see the world a little bit differently - to see the beauty in life.

I love to sketch things such as trees, flowers or just my dog but I also love to take pictures of things so I can zoom in and find out what they really are.

another amazing video chase. your work never ceases to amaze me

the effort in all these videos are insane

art teacher here= was looking for an amazing vid to share with my students at the beginning of the school year. I just found it! TY

This video is absolutely a masterpiece! The message behind it, how it was amazingly and undeniably well edit! Just mind blown 🙌 I wonder how much time did Chase take to put this amazing work together...

I create to give back. I am incredibly fortunate to have all that I've been given, not the least of which is my education. I am an inheritor of all the good brought the world by art and it seems natural to me that, after having been the recipient of beauty, it would become my turn to contribute.

simply beautiful.

This was so relatable! I loved this, thank you so much!!

Aw! Lil baby Chase ahaha! I loved this Chase amazing work (who am I kidding, as always) Now for the question at hand. Why do I create? I create for the feelings in it. The warm happy feelings when something works out, that smile you get when someone enjoys it. Even that little bubble of anger when something doesn't quite go right. Because at the end of the day, it's got me feeling things when i thought I couldn't anymore. I create for the love of it, when you get a good idea and run with it, or find something so fun to do it doesn't feel like it could ever be work. A simple hobby can be so soothing to the aching heart of a cloudy mind.

You, are amazing, Chase.

Life just wouldn't be complete if I couldn't create and observe art. I love this video and by the way you're very good looking! 😍😂

I create to offer the world something beautiful during it's dark times. also, what's the name of the song you used during the outro? it so calming.

Chase is always so inspiring!

Chase, thx for this amazing video!! Art is the way to express ourselves, the way to stress out, to make us and the rest of people happy... You've encouraged me to retake a face of me which was a bit lost ;D Thx for sharing your art :)

art is so important, it is the purpose for progression

I live for Chase's videos!! this one I think is my favourite!!!!!

I was an oil painter but, am doing videos on the beautiful colors and geysers at Yellowstone park! So, It just so happened that my brother gifted me with all new supplies to start painting again! So I will be doing paintings of Yellowstone! o)

yess! I loove this video. I think art is the only thing that really matters. Art is everything that is beautiful and all the beautiful people in this world too. I love creating because it's the only way I can feel fulfilled, in peace, the only way I can be trully myself.

I because it's like an outlet, a window of opportunity to add a splash. I create because it helps me think straight. I create because I know that I am structured in an unstructured manner. I create because that's when I am at my best even if I'm at my worst, it's a medium that I used to turn my own pain, anguish and disgruntled thoughts into something that brings me and others joy. I'll be honest I don't do art as much as I'd like to(school gets very busy) but in those moments I get to appreciate what's in front of me and there's a lot of beauty everywhere which is also sometimes hidden in the most unexpected places. This video was awesome. Made me art and creativity further. Helped me realize that creativity and art is not conditioned to drawing, sketching, painting etc. (even though all of that is amazing). It's flexible, versatile. And whether it's drawing, writing or simply looking at the nature around me, it's where I feel closest to God.

This. was. breath taking. Awesome video!

Lovely job...I am going to show this to my art classes!!

This video was amazing, I absolutely love the concept and the execution and not gonna lie, Chase is cute af.

Chase!

Some people keep asking why do I make videos even though I don't have many subscribers or why do I bother myself and spend time to make them. They don't understand that I make videos just to express myself. So I believe sometimes art is necessary to express my feelings and thoughts. That way I won't be drowning in them.

Definitely agree with you!! 💖💖 Every creation has its own story and maybe only the creator know it. The feeling, the thoughts, the power, maybe that's why i love art that much😉 and "The Little Man"(?) is soo cute 😍

Okay, this is inspiring!!

Art can relieve stress and can motivate you to do better.Drawing or doodling helps me reduce my anxiety and drawing Mandalas or Zentangles has a very relaxing effect. CUTE Video Chase.😊

SO GOOD! I love the stop motion, such an awesome job!
