    CREATIVE CONFIDENCE - SESSION 3

    In Session 3, share what you hope to develop in your art practice?  Would you like to revisit something you did before?  Consider the benefits and challenges of various materials.

    In a composition, decide on your ‘viewpoint'. Are you looking up or down at your subject? Are you on top of a hill or in a valley?  Where is the main focus? 

    Share which artists’ work you enjoy and why? Get support to create your own compositions.
