"A true artist is not one who is inspired, but one who inspires others" - Salvador Dalí
WELCOME! |
Welcome to the Cooper Home class of 2019! Our goal for this class is to introduce students to different art mediums and encourage individual creativity and confidence in art making. Through their activities students will gain a better understanding of what artists do and how art can be a tool for learning more about ourselves and sharing that with others. Through this blog we will document our student’s experiences, their challenges and how they overcome them as well as their successes. We look forward to teaching as well as learning alongside our students this semester! |
