In school and in college (I studied graphic design) I really disliked most of my art classes. The teachers were obsessed with getting a certain result in a short period of time. They said that tracing your sketch is cheating. In conclusion, they sucked all the fun out of it.
When I found my passion for art again later I wanted to do the exact opposite of what they're doing. I strongly believe in uplifting people instead of criticising them. I want my students to feel motivated, inspired and confident. It's all about learning and enjoying the process of it.
