Expectations
How We Work?
* I believe each individual has tremendous potential- some are aware of it, most are unaware. My art sessions support you in discovering the hidden depths of your self-expression, in a safe, fun and free environment
* In my art sessions, you will use different mediums and techniques to create your own original masterpieces, rather than create “copied” stereotypical works of art
* Art appreciation, an in-depth power-point presentation on the topic/genre being covered, an open and free exchange of ideas, encouragement, and step by step guidance- these are the pillars of each art session
* I believe skills can be acquired and that people, big and small, are capable of improving their skills, given the right environment
* We may not be a Monet or a Picasso, but we can learn to appreciate their work, and create some good or even great art ourselves
Why Come To Me?
Limited Self-Expression Avenues
Many of you may be feeling restricted in expressing yourself artistically and might often struggle to find your unique voice.
Perceived Lack of Skill Improvement
Some of you may also feel discouraged if you perceive a lack of improvement in your artistic skills over time.
Not Knowing Where to Begin
Many of you might feel lost when it comes to art, not knowing where or how to start your artistic journey, leading to frustration and a sense of stagnation.
Lack of Confidence & Fear of Judgement
Some of you may lack confidence in your own creative abilities, feeling you are not “artists” or you could be fearing judgment or criticism of your artistic abilities, hindering your willingness to explore and create. Believe me, you don’t need to be a perfect artist to create art.
Need for a Supportive Community
Most importantly, all of us crave a supportive and encouraging community where we can share our artistic journey and receive constructive feedback. I provide you that with the way my sessions are constructed.
