Crafters and Makers with Tijana Krivokapic
This course aims to get young artists creating! A course that encourages freedom of expression through art. Highlighting expression over technicality while still teaching valuable art skills such as book making, stamp making, pop-up art and collage.
Artists will learn about principles of art such as repetition, balance, proportion, unity and how to use them to create art that they love. By the end of the course young artists should no longer feel hesitant or self conscious about creating as they slowly learn what creating art is truly about, self-expression.
