Who are you? What is your individual journey? By expressing your vision to others, you also reveal it to yourself.

What do you notice in the world around you? By seeing more deeply, you gain the opportunity to understand more deeply. The eyes are part of the mind.

How well can you work by yourself? By sharpening your attention over extended periods, you learn the value of creative solitude.

How do you bring a new idea into being? Through the design process, you dream, develop, test, reflect, and revise. There are no road maps – you are always off the trail.

What is it like to make something with your mind, heart, eyes, and hands? Artists use all their senses and physical powers as they explore with various tools and materials.

How do your ideas and artwork speak to others? The studio environment is communal. Every day is a chance to learn from what others are dreaming up.

How do you measure your progress? By compiling a portfolio, you can begin to see your artistic path as a journey – step by step and year after year.
