This week at Winthrop University - Self-portraits!

This week in my (two) Design Drawing classes, students have been working on pen and ink self-portraits. For many, this is their first time exploring the medium, so I'm quite proud of their results! So were they. Especially those who came with no to little art education background. I'm a strong believer than anyone can learn to draw. If schools taught art the same way they teach math, science, and english - from day one and throughout the K-12 experience - everyone would rise to some level of competency. What makes the difference between competent and amazing is patience and passion. We all have patience for the things we love. For the 'born artists', that simply means patience for the craft they are passionate about. #artswinthrop and #designwinthrop
