Before we dive into what this blog is exactly let me give you some of my background.
First the boring that no one really cares about, I'm a stay at home mom to a 5 year old and 7 year old, and I was a Marine wife for 10 years until he left to pursue a better job. My mom was big into teaching me art as a child, and I do the same with my kids. They have been painting since they were eight months old! I started a degree for Photography and Fine Arts a few years ago, and while I enjoyed the artistic classes I was worried about the job field. I ended up doing a complete one eighty and finished a degree in Business which is a wonderful degree to have as an artist! I have the ability to market myself, sell myself, advertise, etc without having to pay some one to do those things for me!
I have been selling my art for the past three years off and on, mainly mixed media and my fiber arts, but always feel the need to expand my creative abilities. I tend to get bored easily, and I will switch between crafts, types of art, etc to keep my interest.
So wont you join me on this journey to find our creative learning the free way?! After all being artist doesn't mean having a fancy diploma on the wall with Fine Arts on it, it means having ability to create with your own hands something wonderful.
How are you going to do this?
I am going to use the internet for resources for classes, books, anything I can find to properly teach things you would learn in art school.
Will you have a curriculum?
Yes! I will take curriculum from colleges known for their art programs and create my own!
Can anyone use this or go along with you?
The more the merrier! We can discuss each topic, how the resource was for you and even share examples of what we learned!
How often are you going to post lessons?
Monday thru Friday! Some lessons may take longer so they will be broken up into days, but I will post something every day for us to do!
