Well, this is it, after 3 years, today will be the very last day of attending Art Academy East Art College for a dedicated learning experience in Art and Design.
I have enjoyed my time here, learnt so much and made some great friends. There have been ups and downs, highs and lows, laughter and tears and the stress I have put myself under to complete projects, has been unreal! But would I change any of it – No – not a bit. To have been in the company of a group of adults for 3 years, all there for the same reason, to learn has been fantastic. I can’t put a price on the learning experience in the same room as other like-minded people.
My 3 years may be ending today in class, but we will be gathering again to exhibit our final projects in July, There will be free-standing painted panels, ceramics, and hanging canvases. Many of the items will be on sale.
The Exhibition will be at The Forum Norwich on 5th, 6th & 7th July 2024.
After this, there are no plans to take another in-person paid course, at this time, but never say never! I do however have many many many paid online courses that have sat around gathering internet dust that I might be able to dedicate some time to. I would like to get back to making art for pleasure rather than for coursework, which will allow me to continue my art growth journey to becoming a regularly selling artist.
