Sharing Art

A few day's ago in the Alpha Stamps Yahoo Group one of the members shared her opinion's with us...

While reading Zeborah's Blog Post I was struck by how much I agreed with it and that just like Zeb I have experienced something similar in just the past week.

I recently attended an Art show and took a few classes. The first class I took I was shocked to find that the artist/instructor was very offended when I put my spin on her techniques.

A different class I took was extremely refreshing the instructor demonstrated her techniques, explained the supplies and let us loose...

After experiencing the complete differences in these classes I came to the conclusion that there are two types of artists, those that want people to do what they do exactly the way they do it and those that want to "Share" their art with others.

Please visit Zeborah's Blog to read her point of view on "Sharing Art" and if you agree make sure to try and "Share your art" in the same manner.

She was a piece of work wasn't she? That's why she didn't have hardly anyone at her booth. I'm fine with people telling me how to do something, but don't force me to do it your way or mark on my art unless I ask you too!
