That is why I’m glad I never took college art classes. I think creativity should not be graded. If I don’t measure up I would have never continued in my crafts and creating. I remember watching “Aleene’s Creative Living” and not only Aleene, but her guests as well stressed that when it comes to creativity there is no right or wrong way and if you make a “mistake” you can work around it. And sometimes you might be pleasantly surprised. I have also learned that when I get too critical of myself, I get up leave it for a day or so and when I come back I realize it’s not that bad. I believe in taking classes to learn techniques and then making it your own. Thanks for the inspiration I get from you Julie.
