About This Class

Do you love getting inspired by other artists' artistic approaches and artwork? 

I love getting inspired by the artistic processes and imagery of other artists. It's always so fun to learn about their creative process, artist journey, and explore their art approaches as we continue to grow and explore within our own artistic journey.

In this class we'll look at the work of Marc Chagall and how he used his memories for inspiration. We'll also take a look at his use of color, composition choices, and the play of what our memories can express and inspire in our art making. You can work in any art medium you prefer for your class project. 

By the end of this class you'll have: 

  • Learned a bit about the artwork of Marc Chagall
  • Looked at a variety of his artworks and how he drew on his memories for artistic inspiration as well as the play of colors and simple imagery
  • Gotten inspired by our own memories

Hi, I'm Elisabeth Wellfare a United States based artist and art educator with seventeen years high school Art teaching experience. In 2017 I published my first children's book which I illustrated and authored called The Dinosaur Family. Then in 2024 I added some new Dinosaur family members and created a "for all ages" coloring book. Both publications are available through my website. When not creating art or teaching I am taking care of my two adorable boys Oliver and Winston. They love to get into mom's art studio and create alongside me.

I love exploring a wide range of art media including ink, colored pencil, watercolor, acrylic, embroidery, and photography to name a few. I take any chance I get to work on mixed media artworks and push the boundaries of how to create. ... See full profile

1. Introduction: And Hi, I'm Elisabeth and welcome to my Artist inspired series class about Marc Chagall. I am a professional artist and art educator, as well as a published author, and in my day job, I work with future art educators. I get to support future art teachers during their journey in college to become professional art educators like me. But I also have been teaching on Skillshare since 2021, finding a way to share my passion for art history and art making, different technique approaches. The hopes that I get you excited and creating and continuing to create and curious to learn more. Marc Chagall is a really fantastic Jewish artist who was one of those artists that was creating during a time when the world was a fairly dark place. There was a lot happening. There was a lot of negativity in the world, and Schegl would escape into his memories from his childhood and growing up in his village. He would escape into the dreamland and his works just have this magical quality to them where we can see all of these amazing images and the play of color and value and the way that he was capturing dreams and the happy memories. Even though what he was facing in his own life for much of it was very challenging to live through. In this class, we are going to get inspired by the whimsy and magic and dream world of Shagal and how we can lean into his imagery and perhaps the symbolism that he was playing with as well as our own symbolism and dreams too. I don't know about you, but when I was a kid, I was very interested in dreams and what they meant. I spent a lot of time digging through my dream dictionary. Trying to decipher what my subconscious was trying to communicate to me. Over on the projects and resources section, I have shared some resources where if you want to see what some different elements are thought to mean in the dream world, you can absolutely lean into those. You might also find some inspiration too, looking at what types of images and objects and things like that are listed in a dream dictionary that you might be able to play with in your own art making. Because our art does not have to represent our actual dreams. Our art can just have a dream like quality to it as we suspend reality and have floating beings and animals playing musical instruments and all the fun things that we can pull from Shakal's beautiful pieces. He also has a lovely sense of color and value and luminosity to a lot of his pieces too. This is going to be a really fun class where we play with whimsy and color and imagery, suspend reality, and dive into the subconscious dream world. Let's it over to our next lesson and start exploring our class project. I'll see you there. 2. Class Project: O. For our class project in our Marc Chagall inspired class, we're going to lean into dream imagery and whimsy and playing around with unconventional compositions and varieties of scale, you can use any art medium you want to to work on your project. One example that I created when I taught this class in person was working with colored pencil, but I think I want to lean more into some other elements of art making to capture my whimsy and my dream imagery. Dive into whatever art materials you want to. We're going to learn a lot about Shagal's works and the way he was playing with imagery and color and relationships of objects in space and color and mooting through all of that. I think I want to play a little bit more whimsically. I think I want to lean into the silly and absurd maybe. I'm not sure. But I'm going to definitely have a lot of fun planning out my project and then deciding what art media route I want to take. Let's start over to our next lesson and we'll talk some more about the materials that you might want to have on hand for class. I'll see you there. 3. Materials: Ten For your Marc Chagall inspired artwork, you can choose to work in any art materials that you want to. For my initial class project, I worked in colored pencil. The reason was I was doing this class as part of my in person artist inspired series classes that I teach in my community locally, and I wanted to do something where we could very quickly get an image on our paper and very quickly work on the color. This was a way to do that. Colred pencil was something that I had on hand for my students. We could quickly go from sketching our idea to going in with color and details. And we hadn't done a class using colored pencil in a while. It was also a chance to give them a different art medium exposure. But I think for my next one, I want to go a little bit more mixed media. I've been really enjoying working with paint pens, and working back into those with colored pencils. I also haven't done watercolor with colored pencil and ink in a while. I'm going to see where I want to go, but I'm going to decide what art media I want to use after I sketch out my ideas. This one I very much went straight in with the first idea that came to mind and knew I wanted to do a floating figure like Shagal has done in many of his pieces. I wanted to have a little bit of contrast between day and night. I had a couple of different things in mind and I built up the imagery around that. So for my class project for art class, I really want to explore what my imagination can come up with as I think about different dream imagery that I have had in my life, different imagery related to dreams that I've admired in other artists work, like what Shagal has used. I also want to think about maybe a little bit of bending the rules of logic like we can do in dreams and kind of merging that dream and memory idea. The next one. You could do colored pencil on regular drawing material, paper, you could do acrylic watercolor paint pens. You could just work black and white if you wanted to. You could just do graphite. You could work digitally. That would be another great way to approach your class project. In the next lesson, we're going to learn more about Shagal and his artwork and the different ways that he approached recording and getting inspired by his memories and the way that he depicted them on the canvas and on the page. Then we're going to move into sketching and brainstorming and coming up with some different ideas. So I think maybe I would leave yourself open to a material choice, a medium choice until you get into the end of your sketching session to kind of see what media and art materials are really going to bring your different dream and memory imagery to life. I'm really excited to see what you choose. So let's head over to the next lesson, and we will start talking about the life and art of Marc Shagal. I'll see you there. 4. About Marc Chagall: Marc Chagall is a Russian born artist. He was born in the village of Vetebsk, which becomes a key point because he's often thinking back to village life and experiences that he had growing up there and just a different visual imagery that captures that village and that time and his memory. After he attended Academies, he was working in the art studio of Leon Basque, who was a set designer for the Russian ballet. So this exposed Marc Chagall to the Avantarde art world and really kind of opened up his influences to kind of expand beyond the village that he grew up in, which is really important because he's taking different professional art practices and inspirations and influences and then looking at his memories and his past through that lens of all of that art inspiration that he was exposed to. That he moved to Paris, influences from cubism, favism, futurism, symbolism, specifically Vincent Van Gogh, Henri Matisse, and Paul Gogan. Those were three very influential artists to Gogan while he was studying and developing and kind of considering the art was around there. We can also look at the animal human hybrids that Chagal features in some of his pieces as influenced by surrealism. So although he was drawing from all these inspirations, and we can see their influence in his work, he very specifically sought to avoid becoming an art movement. And he kind of again exhibiting and having a prolific, successful artist career. He did return to Vtvsks and then ended up staying there due to World War I and the Russian Revolution. So starting in the village, kind of going out as many artists did, to get educated and expose themselves to the world and the broader art community globally. He was really leaning into nostalgia and his native land. He said, in all my paintings, there is not 1 centimeter free from nostalgia for his homeland. So I hope you'll take some more time to look at the Google Slides presentation to kind of learn even more about Shikhar and see a lot more of his art. And then when you're ready, move on to the next lesson or we're going to start sketching out some ideas as we think about how we want to draw on our own imagery or inspired imagery that we kind of think of when we think of memories. Or you can go the dream route, too, but memories and the ways that we can capture that kind of feeling in a piece of art. So when you're ready, I will see you in the next lesson. 5. Sketching: Ten So now we need to sketch out some ideas and kind of brainstorm maybe a list of memories, dreams, different imagery that we might want to incorporate into our artwork. We can lean into general dream ideas and kind of put together and craft an imagine dream or we can look at our actual own dreams. I don't know why I keep getting stuck on this idea of dreams because really looking at Shigel's work, he was looking at his memories and capturing his memories in his artwork, but I do think that we can go both ways. So maybe because my brain keeps going dream, that means that my subconscious wants me to play with dreams. But anytime I say dream, please know that I also mean memories and or memories. So if we're thinking of brainstorming some ideas for a secondary piece, we can also kind of brainstorm some different things and aspects of Shagal's work that we really find beautiful. So I'm going to start with some Shagal inspiration. I still really like floating figures. I think that is definitely something that is very fun to play with. I also like there's kind of like a movement to his pieces. There's a lot of, you know, your eye travels through the canvas and kind of across the canvas in a lot of different ways. So maybe I want to incorporate that in some way, like some sort of, you know, the eye is kind of going on a journey. Kind of idea when I set up my composition. I also really love his kind of bold, pure color. So maybe that's something that I also kind of want to make sure that I draw when I get to the second step of this project. And then there's also a really lovely simplistic depiction of the memories. So keeping things kind of simple but descriptive, we can definitely tell what everything is in a Shagal piece. There's no ambiguity there. So there's a very, it's very simple and clear. Is maybe what I'm, you know, leaning into for that. So some different things there. There's also tends to be some nice contrast that happens, too, but I think that will kind of naturally happen as I play with this. So here's kind of my Chagall things that I want to pull from. If I think of different memories, we can kind of think back to childhood. I mean, he was capturing things from his childhood, from the village where he grew up, different symbolic things related to his culture and his religion. And the world that he grew up during the time that he grew up during, which is kind of amazing. So there's a lot of different ways we could go there. Let's see. If I think of different memories, place, I think is something we could really lean into. So it could be very specific or it could be general. So something that represents something more specific. We could also kind of focus in on, like, a time in our life. I kind of narrow the scope of dreams and sorry, memories related to different points in our life. We can also kind of go abstract with it, too. Like, he was working very representationally. Like, this is a person. This is a goat. This is a building. Like, this is a fiddle. So it's very clear to tell what the pictures are in his memory paintings. I'll leave a little more abstract. Like, if I wanted to say, represent the house where I grew up. It's got kind of this long deck section, it's over the garage, and then there's a taller section. Where, you know, the living part of the house is, you know, and then there's, you know, the roof that kind of goes up from that. So I could kind of lean into some basic geometry like that if I wanted to, if I wanted to kind of indicate home, my original childhood home. Music is a big part of my memories and my life. So I could have a couple of different, like, symbolic things to represent music, maybe. Like notes on a scale, whether they actually musically make sense or not is part of the music part. Like, I mean, I grew up playing also saxophone. So I could kind of lean into the shapes of that if I wanted to, maybe. Kind of a way to do that. Kind of fun. Art is obviously a very important part of that. So I could kind of think about just things that represent and are symbolic of art like paint brushes, paint palette, would be interesting to play with. Then you can connect your images too. Maybe I have if I'm thinking going into a composition, maybe there's a giant paint palette that standard stuff, and then maybe the colors go off and to represent different things, and maybe this is like a sun. Maybe this is a blue and this goes off to represent water. Playing with the symbolism of that. Maybe this one is kind of like trees. Because where I grew up, there were a lot of trees where I live now, there's a lot of trees by our house. You have it kind of be the colors that tie to the memories and the symbolism. Maybe if this is white, this could be a sailboat. I grew up sailing in the summers with my family. I like that idea. That's kind of fun. Maybe this is the brown, so maybe this represents, you know, the home. In a very basic sense. You know, maybe there's I mean, really goes symbolic. Maybe this represents the love of family. That's an idea. Ties into different things. I I lean into plates, maybe the trees are kind of something. Maybe they're really exaggerated. If I wanted to have something floating in the sky, maybe that's where I represent myself and my husband, our relationship is very tall, and very short. Kind of floating in the sky, that would tie directly into Shagal's representation of himself and his wife or just his wife, of the love that they shared for one another. So maybe we're flying through the sky, and then maybe there's some really neat textural elements up there. I feel like there should be some land down here. Not quite sure why. For some reason, I feel like I want to put mountains in. Which is funny because we don't live somewhere mountainous, but we do talk a lot about traveling to different parts of the world. So maybe that represents a future plan. Tie to memories of place. I think you can really have some fun with this. You can lean into something very personal. You can play with just, you know, what kind of imagery you want to create for this and kind of do it a hagale. You can lean into different hagal elements that you like. I think I kind of just need to start on the paper. So I'm going to just let this be a starting point for my sketching. You can take the sketching stage of this as far as you want to do as much as you like. I think I need to lean a little bit more into how I created this one and kind of building it up as I went and letting it kind of evolve from there. So we're going to get another sheet of paper. And get ready to start sketching it. Like I said, I think I want to play with more mixed media, maybe some loose watercolor. I'm not sure. I think I'm going to grab some mixed media paper before I get ready for the next lesson so that I am prepared for whatever art media I want to throw at this. Go ahead and get out whatever you need for the next stage of your class project and I will see you in the next lesson real soon. 6. Memory Drawing: I decided to tape off my paper because I think I want to start with watercolor, and I wanted a crisp budge. So I just kind of did an arbitrary size within the mixed media page that I grabbed. I'm going to keep my pencil sketches pretty light, but I want to make them dark enough so that you can see, and I'm probably going to hit this with a lot of different media. So it's probably not going to matter. In the end if they get kind of dark. But I really liked the looseness of these trees and the tallness of them. But I also feel like I want more sky, I want more to play with up there. Let's start with the couple. My husband and I. I do want to keep that fairly simple. I want to play with a really loose picture. We're just generally indicated with human humanoid qualities. We've got me the standard generic female shape. I'm going to do a really exaggerated tallness for my husband because I think that's funny and give him an elongated body. Knowing that I'm going to build a lot of this out with other media, but I want us connect it even though we're very out of scale from each other. The trees, I am working with a pretty decent sized paper so I can get the tallness of the trees without losing the sky. I'm just going to try to scribble that in and then add another one. I want to keep everything super loose. We're looking down on this forest situation, but I want to let them have really long trunks. What if there was something like hanging? I like this idea of coming in from all over that breaks up the sky a bit if that is sky. I could do light bulbs a funny thing to have big stylized light bulbs. Truly just building this up. I think this is now just an imagination drawing and that's okay because the whole point is to have fun and to create this fits perfectly with the fact that I like to just see what happens a lot of times and just build up pieces as I go. I probably would not have gotten to this if I hadn't played here. Let's just see. This is going to have more of a dream quality. I am loving this, and that is the most important thing that I'm really enjoying it. We have some light bulb jar things. We have my husband and I, we have some sketchy trees. I want some depth. Maybe there's a land in the sky. I can always take it out if I don't like it. I'm not stuck with any idea. I like that it's a chunk that's been cut out. That actually could represent part of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, which is where I grew up. And it's a special place where we travel as a family. We like to take our kids up there and, you know, see family that still lives there, but then also explore it and see it with some new perspective as adults through our kids' eyes. You know what? I know what I want to do. I want to put a lake down here because spending time on the lake was a really important part of my childhood. It has a lot of court memories to it. So we're going to turn that into a lake. And then if that's going to be a lake, then we kind of have to have a shore over here. So maybe that's where the landscape comes in a little bit. I can kind of exaggerate it. I grew up sailing on the lake, but it could be really fun to kind of play with, like, some really stylized tiny boats. That's definitely leading into childhood memories. So we have personal connection representing my husband and I. We have something that's alluding to the shape of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I love trees. I love that we live with round trees. I love that where I grew up, had a lot of trees growing up on the lake, spending time with family, sailing. We've got these strange light bulbs. Maybe in the light bulbs. Not quite sure where this fits in, but I do really, really love butterflies. They've always been a symbolic thing for me. So maybe that's what's inside here instead of lights. That makes it more personal and kind of helps them make sense a little bit. Okay, we're getting somewhere. This is really, really great. Now, I do want to do something with art. So maybe kind of a wild idea. But what if there was a giant paintbrush that was dipping down into the lake? I would have to kind disappear. And have ripples. I want to be very clearly a paint brush going down into this water as if it was paint. Because then I can color it like it's paint unless it should be higher up if it came up here and there was a drips going down, I think it would read better that way. I'm going to watch the brush coming out of the water. With some drips of color as if I picked it up from the lake. Then I've got my bul, and then the handle. Yeah. Then down here, do that ripple effect. It's not the best placement with a sailboat, maybe the sailboat needs to scooch. Somewhere else. Okay. I do want three sail boats though, just to have that odd number. Maybe the sailboat is actually breaking the horizon a bit. I think this is all I want to sketch in and then I can add more later if I want to. I'm going to start with a watercolor base and map in some colors, keeping the looseness. And then I'm going to start to refine and Kopecin think with paint pens and colored pencils and maybe a fine liner to just really crispen up the details. I want to keep it loose and simple but clear, much like Shagal's work. I'm going to go ahead and get my watercolor supplies out and I'll meet in the next lesson. Well, I will start adding color and design details. See you soon. 7. Adding Color: So what I want to think about is what do I want to do in watercolor? And what do I want to kind of build up and do more refined with other media? I want to play with pretty saturated color. So I think I'm going to start with the sky and kind of work down a little bit bold, and I might lose a little bit of my details, but watercolor is transparent. I can gradually work up or I can just remember where things are and go from there. I can also paint over things. Actually, guys, I want the jars to be transparent, even though they're light bulbs, I'm going to go ahead and just paint over them. I can bring back their boldness with other media and the same with the paint brush actually. I'm trying really hard artistically to not be super precious and to just really live in the creative moment, knowing that if things go away or get covered up in my art, it's okay. It's totally okay. I am using a lot of water because I haven't painted with watercolor in a while if you haven't painted with watercolor in a while, it might be helpful to do a little bit of a warm up. I'm not giving myself that luxury mostly because I don't have time right now to do it. I just need to jump in. But it is helpful to lay with a medium if you haven't used it in a bit to reacquaint yourself with its nuances. The trees, there's blue and green. We need to make it, it's okay to paint over those also. I'm going to keep building up a lot, a lot of layers. I do want the lake to feel like paint. That's where I'm going to fade out the blue a bit. I know it probably really feels that I'm rushing and you know, maybe painting a little sloppily. It's okay. I want that looseness. And then we can clean up some of the streakiness. This isn't the best mixed media paper. It's going to be fine for what I'm trying to do here. And then I'm going to go ahead and drop some more boldness in. I think the color I want to pull out of the water is this violet, so I'm just going to do a base of that for my drip coming off my brush. Okay, I'm going to get this to dry, and then we're going to keep going. Alright, that bi's dry enough. I think I'm going to start bringing in some of the land. Okay. I think that's gonna be great. And then pop in some land down here. I love the boldness of that, so I'm going to try to pull that up into some of these other sections. And then maybe this top one can be really warm. Okay, I think I need be another layer of lands over here. Loving that. Someone to dry this, and then keep going. 8. Adding Details: Alright. I might still have some more watercolor, but I want to bring back my light bulbs. No, normally paint pens will completely cover, but my paint pen is kind of starting to dry out. Which is kind of great because it picks up a little bit of the color underneath it. I want to play into that it's transparent bulb. I'm also going to hop in the sails. They're gonna need some work this paint pen has picked up the color from the sky. And then I can go on with colored pencil to really help pop the brightness when I want it. Right. Love that. Now, I am going to go in and do a little bit of loose linework with watercolor for my trees. I'm going to mix up a dark green. I really love the line quality in my sketch, so I'm going to try to capture that as best I can with the watercolor. I'm off a little bit because my trunk is here. But that's okay. I'm just going to move it over. So I think I might want to actually scooch this one over too because I did like that they were close together. Then maybe this one comes up over and pushes the bulbs to the back instead of the front. I don't want full trees. I really want them loose and sketchy. I'm trying to be very, very careful not to overpaint. Then I really want these to feel like toy boats. So I'm going to grab some brown and just paint in their bases. And then I want the bristles. I want the paintbrush to be brown. Maybe a smidge of orange. I'm blocking in, where do I know I want certain base colors? I was thinking about the lines. They're really hard to see, but because the pencil is under the watercolor, they're there for good. But I was thinking about another memory. Of cat tails. I remember that my grandma really loved cat tails. I'm really loving this. I'm very, very happy with how it's turning out. I think I'm going to go with the dark brown for the paint brush handle. I think that's all I want to do with watercolor. I think the rest of it's gonna need to be with paint pad and colored pencil. So I'm gonna go ahead and wash my brush and scooch my watercolors to the side. So I have a little bit more room to work here. Alright. I think I need to tackle a couple other things here. Um, I'm going to use some paint pen. Some of my watercolor in my tree is still wet, but that's okay. I just going to want to bring in some of that sketchy quality over the top and then maybe even just down into the trunk a little bit. So it's really important to kind always stop and assess and kind of consider what you're doing. There is a way to go too far with something. So that's something I'm trying to avoid. Let's tick my butterflies back in. I think I might make them different colors, colors that I really like. Let's get the color pencils. I can go in and I can kind of pop. Some bold aspects. But I just love how bold and beautiful colored pencil is on top of watercolor. It works so great over a paint pan, too. And then because these are light bulbs, I think I'll give them just a little bit of glow. I'm going to use some of this yellow down in the landscape so that it ties back in with what's going on up there. So when you have watercolor and you want to do colored pencil, sometimes you need the surface prepped for you. So I just did a little gray paint pen there so that I can go in with a colored pencil. You don't have to. It's definitely not a requirement, but it helps sometimes. Then going back and forth with your colored pencil colors also really helps. I also lost my butterflies. And some of these, so I have to decide if I care or not. I care a little bit, so I'm going to bring them back. Alright, let's pop our sales or I'm going to pop my sales. I should say. You probably don't have boats in your artwork. If you do, super cool. Can we just see how you created them. Okay, I need to do something with the water to make all of this make sense. So I think it's time to start defining the paint droop. Kind of playing with those colors that I laid down with the watercolor. So watercolor and color pencil have very different textures. So you have to kind of decide if you want to let them be what they are or if you want to smooth them out so much that you kind of that it doesn't matter. I like to fade mine out if it's a piece where I'm just popping in some colored pencil here and there and loving that a lot. I do a little bit more to define a ripple and kind of extend it out. I think I may take a little bit of white paint pen on top of the colored pencil. I kind of save the hardest part for last. But that's okay. It's gonna be just fine. Alluding to people, not worrying about making them too distinct. I know, I do kind of want the dream quality of them. Tune up want them to look cartoony, in any way. So I need to find a way to make them make sense. I've made myself so short that I kind of looks like a father and daughter. That's okay. Okay, I'm going to turn upside down, and I'm gonna add in the inking detail. I don't know, this part of the light bulbs, super subtle. I really like it. I do want to tie that blacken because I don't have it anywhere else in this piece. It's gonna have sketchiness. Don't want to take away from what I've done with the other art media. The things are dry enough up here. You can just kind of lay in some sort of skin tone. I think it's really great. Let's peel off the tape and let's see how it looks, and then we can kind of decide if there's anything else it needs. It's funny. It's not where I thought it was going to go, as I kind of thought about this, working up to getting into the studio tonight. But I love where it went. I absolutely love it. It's really fun. I'm going to add it just kind of some highlights in some spots just to kind of help things stand out a little bit. And then I think the boats need shadows underneath them, just to kind of have them sitting in the water. A teeny bit to ground them. There is not a light source. There's no moon, but it is kind of nice to add some highlights kind of on the top edges of some of these branches. I think if I add a teeny bit of sharkness to the land bag here, it's gonna help the people stand out more. I'm so happy with how this turned out. Let's head over to the next lesson, and we'll wrap up a class. I'll see you there. 9. Final Thoughts: Thank you so much for joining me in this Marc Chagall inspired artist series class. I can't wait to see what you created, so I hope that you'll pop on over to the Projects and Resources section of class to share that in the student gallery. I would also love it if you could take the time to leave a review. That is what I use to vet classes in my limited time as a student on Skillshare, but it's also really helpful feedback for me as a teacher. I read everyone and I take those to heart as I'm planning future classes or considering what I can add to existing classes to really create a rich full experience for my students. Thank you so much for taking this class. I have loved connecting here with you. I hope you'll check out some other of my artists inspired series classes. I hope you're excited that I've got a bunch more that I'm hoping to make in the next year. I would love it if you would give me a follow so we can stay connected and you get those notifications when new classes come out. But I would also love to connect off the platform. If you're over on Instagram, you can find me at Elisabeth Underscore Welfare where I'm sharing my art journeys, art updates, what's going on in the studio. What I'm experimenting with and all things art. I also have a YouTube channel. It's also Elisabeth Wellfare, where you can find a lot of different art process videos, techniques, and I love taking you on art journeys with me and different art dates that I go on. I'm hoping to have quite a few of those in the coming future that I can share with you and I've got some ones that I'm working on editing currently that I think you'll really enjoy checking out. You get to follow me along when I go to an art exhibit or day in the life of an art teacher in the wild, who knows? Who knows what the year is going to bring. But I know it's going to be fun and it's going to be exciting and I can't wait to share it with you. Thank you again for taking this class. It's been so much fun to share my passion for artists and art making with you and I can't wait to see you in another class real soon. Till next time.
