After a few weeks, I asked Tina to teach me what she had learned, which really tickled her!

Deeply disappointing for me as a child not to have a real art class.Art was just a big part of who I am.I could never figure out why schools did not invest in art classes. I think it would have opened up kids to new levels of creativity. I always envied those lucky kids that had a real art class. Learning to use pastels and paints.

A few years ago I did the first few lessons in <i>Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain</i> and it was surely mental work I was not accustomed to. I just felt that I should give it a try, to be a well-rounded human ;-) God bless you and may He continue to give you pleasure in developing a new skill.GretchenJoannahttp://www.gretchenjoanna.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1260159263783917143.post-89977001790473212352019-06-13T11:23:36.174-04:002019-06-13T11:23:36.174-04:00MaryAnn I was so glad to read this.

I know it's not the same as art, as in drawing, painting, etc., but it was something I had always wanted to do and had no one to teach me. It was the same with sewing. I decided the clothes that are available in stores are just not for me.

In her late 40's my cousin learned how to paint - her parents actively discouraged her from art as a child. This year (about 15 years later) has a painting at the top museum in the state! To say we're all so proud of her is an understatement!
