Releasing the Artist
I have said it time and time again. I don't draw. I don't paint. It's just not my talent. Everytime I taught a Gymboree art class I felt like a fraud. So what am I now doing in My Masterpiece where visual arts was part of the curriculum? Can't I just sing all the time?
The people at My Masterpiece say otherwise. For teacher training, Teacher Kara led us through a series of art therapy exercises to flesh out our thoughts on art and gain a bit of insight on ourselves.
Okay friends, this is how I draw.
The Library. Craypas on bond paper.
Now do you believe me when I say I don't draw?
But Teacher Kara's guidance and patience led me to these:
Wisdom Tree. Watercolor.
And this:
Self portrait. Charcoal.
They're not much but they are a huge step for a girl who's terrified of drawing and painting. As Teacher Kara said, "Today you just removed one 'can't' in your life. Congratulations." I was brought to tears.
I guess there's an artist in everyone. :)
