This year is about GROWTH. Think about what way you want to grow as an artist and student. What is important to you to learn? Art isn't just about making a pretty work of art but solving a problem in a new and exciting way, discovering a new process, learning a new tool and then mastering it.
I am eager to learn about you and what you want to learn this year! Let's have a great year of discovery, art making, creativity and learning! |
