in progress

As a sort of continuation from my last blog, I would like to further share my ideas on the community among artists and art educators. Although we are all our own individuals, each person we meet and get to know influences and inspires us in one way or another. In the art world, im speaking more specifically about artistic inspiration. Everyday on my artistic journey, I am more convinced of this concept the more I find myself engaged in the unique way in which all of us create and the choices we make. When I get to know my fellow classmates better and see more of the art they create, I really come to appreciate their personalities, their creative process and artwork. I believe these things truly impact myself and my work in a very positve way, and I wonder where I would be as an artists without the others around me.... What kind of artist would be I be without those friends, their encouragement, constructive criticisms, or inspirations? Just another reason to embrace the artists, future teachers, and the huge unexplored world of art around you!
