Everything I needed to know
I learned in the Art Room
Never say anything unkind about something
a classmate has created. Don't hog all the colors.
A picture is more interesting with contrast, move-
ment and different points of view- so is life. Be
kind to yourself if all your pictures don't turn out-
it happens to all artists. Your most patient model
is the one in the mirror... Learn by looking
at yourself and be patient. Say it with paper
pop-ups, folded books, or little pasted papers-
making something for someone else can be a holy act-
do it often. Keep an open mind about different
kinds of art... something unforseen may become part
of your expression some day. Purple houses, pink
grass... there's no right or wrong way to color your
picture - honor your creative voice- it's what makes
you unique. Take a rest or a break during a
project - solutions become more clear, ideas can grow.
Paint from the heart, it will show - others will sense it.
