My heart is so full. This was my first formal art class and I couldn’t be happier with the overall experience. I met some incredible people, got to see everyone’s strengthens and weaknesses, and I’m reminded that it’s not about perfection. Even with an experienced artist, perfection isn’t real.

Before taking this drawing class, I never really put -any- time into art. I would attempt something (I’ve never practiced), suck at it, and then give up, or I would feel like making something is a waste of time because I could be doing something “more productive.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I probably put over 24 hours into this piece. Partly because it’s a graded assignment but also because I really enjoyed it. While I can see all its flaws and it didn’t turn out exactly as I wanted, I’m really proud of this. I’m gonna make a promise to myself to make more art—free of judgement, free of any expectations. It would be far more productive to spend an hour doodling than it would be to doom scroll on my phone. Perspective.

There’s a part of the creative process
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
that requires you to be
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
fearless — free to fail,
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
and confident — free to imagine.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And my love,
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
if you are not your biggest fan,
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
you were doomed
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
from the start.
