I used to teach drawing and portfolio and that was really a great experience. I think a lot of the fundamental basics that go into art and the ways of seeing apply to jewelry and design. <BR/><BR/>I'll teach anything to anyone as long as there's a group that's interested.Andrew Thorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04191233443131580096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31223185.post-71211664003610359752008-11-21T15:43:00.000-08:002008-11-21T15:43:00.000-08:00Hey Nancy!I'm down with you!

It really opens up different ideas of thought and really makes what you can make limitless. Once you know how you work, you'll be able to strive higher than ever before!<BR/><BR/>Thanks about Miel! It was a lot of wire-wrapping and I enjoyed making it quite a lot.

The way that I look at art and design was really influenced by some of the English classes I took that talked about breaking down sentences and grammar. Fused with the poetry sections, it's a helpful tool to be able to understand the language that you've created visually. I've looked through your recent posts and you've done some interesting write-ups of the history of beads. I think that understanding where and how they functioned in society is an important part of how they'll function for you. I think it all ties together. Most people are sitting on a wealth of inspiration and they don't even know it!Andrew Thorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04191233443131580096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31223185.post-13795596210661834372008-11-21T15:33:00.000-08:002008-11-21T15:33:00.000-08:00Hey Lori!
