Students participating at art camp.<br />
How do I start when faced with something that is<br />
blank and when do I know I am finished?<br />
But what about you? Is there value for adults with little or<br />
no prior training in art to enroll in a class or workshop?<br />
Absolutely! Studies repeatedly show that exposure to art<br />
and art instruction open up new ways of seeing the world<br />
and therefore provide a stronger feeling of connection to<br />
your community and the wider world around you. Increased<br />
exposure to the arts among young people has been linked<br />
to the development of greater empathy and compassion,<br />
increased confidence to set more demanding personal<br />
goals and a wider openness to innovative ideas. Certainly,<br />
you’re not too old to expose yourself to new things, right?<br />
