. . . when students find inspiration

where do students turn when they are looking for ideas for making art? artworks are not produced in a vacuum, but by the interaction of experiences, and interrelationships of ideas, perception (mind) and feelings (heart) acknowledged and expressed in some form.

"Art is the union of the mind and heart. it is a kind of coitus within man that allows him to create something new other than himself, artwork." - OsacnaB

students, like mature artists, may be inspired and motivated by their memories and observations of their surroundings. they may find that their own cultural and personal background is a stimulating basis for their own creative activities, and that their surroundings can have a definite effect on what influences an artist.

looking at many diverse kinds of artworks provides students not only with knowledge about art but also with the attitude that there is no "right" or "wrong" way to make art.

"we will have no fear of whatever we are doing for we can say that i am an artist and my artwork is me." - OsacnaB

the works of other artists have always been an inspiration for students, creating a springboard for followers.
