Fun Work | Week 2

As visual artists we have the unique privilege of viewing people, places, objects, shapes, animals, and such in unordinary ways. What others view as mundane, we might find beautiful and inspiring. We find the simplistic with the "complex" and discover the complexity of the "simple." In other words we look at things differently, which is awesome!

While we will have many goals as we tred along, my overall wish is that you will discover the amazingness of your own eye. Every individual is blessed with the ability to view things differently than anyone else can. Every individual see's things from a different perspective. More powerful than the most expensive technology you can buy, whether it's camera's, computers, software, etc., is your own eye.
