Reasons To Learn To Paint By Jill Saur
My Studio
When I attended art school, I was in awe of the students from Russia. They had extensive training in art from the time they were young children. They were incredible! Their country, and others like them, placed a tremendous emphasis on the importance of learning to draw and paint.
It's my hope that America shifts back to placing an emphasis on training in the arts. The following reasons explain my argument for learning to draw and paint. These benefits apply to individuals of all ages. Thanks for reading!
