Learning to Create

Learning to Create Art

In A Fun Environment!

We've probably all been there!

In school, social group, or class

and someone says something critical 

about what you just created. 

You are CRUSHED! 

Maybe it wasn't intentional.

Maybe they misunderstood your creation.

Maybe they were having a bad day.

Maybe they are blind.

Still, you are crushed.

How do you get past it?

Being a creative person opens lots of doors of:

fear

negativity

second guessing

and pain,

But it also opens doors of

Joy

Love

Exhiliration

Accomplishment!

Learning to accept your work, your abilities, your linitations and your accomplishments gracefully are all a part of a creative life.

River Run Gallery Fun Art Studio

Is home to

Four displaying artists

Two teaching artists

And many student artists.

We try to put the emphasis on fun,

In the art we create and the art we teach.

Remember how your words may affect an artist the next time you’re at an art show and say something like:

I can do better than that!

I can make that at home!

You better go back to art school!

Why is your price so high!

(Yes I’ve heard every single one of those things)

Encourage your children,

Your co-workers,

Your friends and family,

In every creative endeavor.

That doesn’t mean giving them false praise or applause,

But be gentle and kind and encouraging.

People who are creative can’t help but be creative!

It’s in their make up!

They are hard wired to create.

Maybe they haven’t found that perfect medium yet.

Maybe you can help them find it.

  As you create,

let the love of creation come through into

your project.

People will see and feel and love your spirit

as you create and share and enjoy.
