The Creative Academy

Creativity doesn't disappear when we become adults. It just gets buried under responsibilities, deadlines, routines and the pressure to be productive all the time. So here's your reminder. Create for the experience, not the outcome. Make the thing. Try the idea. Take the class. Start before you feel ready. Create something that nobody will ever see. The world will always give you reasons not to create. Give yourself a few reasons to keep going. What is one creative thing you've made time for recently?

Working on getting in good brush strokes, keeping our brushes tippy toes and not b***y scooting, double loading, and learning to figure out where highlights would be based on where the sun is coming from!

Finished sculptures!

Sculptures ready to paint! Can you guess which one belongs to your young artist?

Liam, Mrs. Botkin, and his Pout Pout Fish! Being selected to be I. The MSD of Martinsville Art Show is such an honor. We are so proud of him, and all our art friends that come to make art with us, that had their art in the gallery.

Willowe, a second grader in one of our classes, won an award at the school district art show that is held each year at Art Sanctuary. Congratulations, Willowe!
