Bored with the Mortar Board

My name is Peter Williams and I have recently graduated with a B.A. Hons in fine art from university. With my qualification well secured under my cap, or should I say mortar board, I feel ready to put this futile experiment behind me and to start to learn how to paint and draw. This may sound a little cynical, but these feelings are well founded and have their roots in the modern model of art tuition, a model which only serves as an engine for frustration. From this model, the idea or concept reigns supreme, and technique sits in the back benches, suppressed by the Lords of modern isms and conceptual constraints…

I dream art

My name is Ibrahim, I graduated from the law college in Egypt. Despite my education in law, I could not stop thinking of being an artist.

I draw and paint from very young age; learned every thing by trying over and over again and never give up…

practice doing shading with several rather then 1 pencil.

I’m an artist who studied drawing over 16 years ago and been drawing ever since…

My name is Joan Elizabeth White, I sign all my art with my middle name Elizabeth J White. I am a self taught artist. I have been drawing and creating since further back than I can recall.

I use to keep my art myself but at the urging of my (now late) sister Tyra I started to show my artwork, she passed away before my first art show from a long battle with Cancer. Since then I would say around 2011 I have really worked hard at getting my art into the public…

Artistic Hands of Faith

I was born in Los Angeles, California to wonderful parents. My mother was the oldest of 15 children, an aspiring artist, but never achieved her goals because she had to take care of her brothers and sisters. My father was a master carpenter and had artistic skills in building. Between the both of them I was given the artistic talent and a gift from God to be able to draw and paint as an “unschooled” artist. I have never taken art classes because I could never afford them…

…it was then that I carried you

I am a dreamer stuck in the real world. Art and music make my soul happy :)

That moment when the right brain is engulfed in artistic and creative focus, kind of like being in a dreamy trance, is like heroin for my soul…

“Where the Spirit does not work with the hand, there is no art”
-Leonardo DaVinci-

I am a full time Artists, work very hard in the art world showing and selling my work. At times I question what I am doing since I tend to overdo the subject.

I would like to catch the spirit in a portrait, or landscape I am in need of a new way to see the subject and capture the spirit…

Paraprofessional discovers artistic talent

Art is everything to me. As a paraprofessional, I’ve worked in the art classroom at a local middle school for the past two years. I learned as much as the students and discovered artistic talents I never knew I had. Art has totally taken over and now with an art studio in my basement, I am able to go to my happy place when I can…

Old Masters Curriculum

I am an Economist with strong passion for classical figurative arts. I started drawing as a child about 30 years ago. Unfortunately, I was forced to abandon drawing because there were no art schools in my country…

Loving Butterfly

I like to draw to elevate my mood since I feel flat sometimes. Art for me is a remedy and right thing to channeling my energy…
