Embrace the Artist In You: 5 Simple Activities to Give You Freedom to Explore Your Creative Side (Skillshare)

Have you ever said, "I'm not an artist" or "I can't draw"? Or have you ever created a piece of artwork and then you looked at it and thought, "my artwork is no good, there's something wrong with it." Not long ago, I said these same things. My turning point came when my nieces taught me that art can be fun and it doesn't have to be expensive.

It unlocked a creative side of me that had laid dormant for almost 30 years. The #1 thing that will block our creativity is our "stinkin' thinkin'" or mindset issues. The self-criticism, perfectionism and judgment. When I first started art, one of the first things art taught me was to let go of control and enjoy the process.
We will create an art piece around these 5 affirmations:

  1. Create without judgment
  2. Learn to relax
  3. Art is unique not perfect
  4. Let go of performance and have fun
  5. There is no right or wrong in art

Create your artwork with the 5 affirmations shared within this class. Either create them on one sheet of paper or on 5 separate designs.

Color Theory Part 1- Understanding Color Relationships (Skillshare)

I am a high school graduate and soon to be a college student. I plan on studying artwork in college like I have done in high school. Creating artwork has always been a big part of my life. As a child when I started drawing I would spend my days doing that rather than playing video games like my friends. I have been making artwork for a far back as I can remember and that is why I am excited to share what I have learned.
