Final Thoughts

What You Will Learn?

  • In this class we’ll be doing 5 of my favourite creative and inspiring art exercises (using different mediums and methods), redefine our traditional concepts of “art” and discuss mental strains like perfectionism and comparing oneself to others and how to break away from these bad habits. .
  • This class is for anyone who wants to or already expresses themselves through art, but feel discouraged, not talented enough, just don’t know where to start or is simply looking for a few quirky new art exercises to get out of a creative rut. .
  • By the end of this class, you will hopefully feel inspired and encouraged to express yourself through art in ways you haven’t considered before, without criticising yourself into despair. :) .
  • I think it’s really important for everyone who has creative energy to find their outlet and to make themselves and the people around them happy with their creations, and I hope to help you find that outlet, inspire new creative works and have fun!.
