  • 183. Is Art Your Kryptonite

    Melisa often has families come to Waldorf homeschooling not feeling like they will be able to do the art. She shares an encouraging story to help get you started. Back when she was in art class a teacher told her it was a good thing she wanted to be a lawyer because she was not an artist. 

     

    If you've seen her work now you definitely know she is talented. Learn how she got there and take it small. Find something you enjoy with art and do it because you enjoy it. Then watch your art work take off.
