Summary
“As an artist, I strongly suggest that giving people the opportunity to learn new concepts or ways of creating is beneficial to their creative and problem-solving abilities. Sharing this type of thinking with others helps further our understanding of art and allows us to question what art is. Artists are able to help people see a different angle, and allows us as a community to connect with one another.” My background is hearty in the sense that I have been expanding my knowledge and practices with varying types of freelance work as well as traditional jobs. I have a great understanding of the community I am apart of and am excited to start the next journey. When it comes down to it, yesterdays knowledge is today's resource.
