I just uploaded my September assignment for the Make Art That Sells Bootcamp. We were asked to think about how different our lives would be, if the arts was as important as other subjects or if all students were required to learn art.

Often I surprise people when I tell them that painting is about chemistry and graphic design uses math. As an artist for over twenty years, I don't see subjects as separate things. I have worked with medical researchers in a science lab, and I have known designers at NASA. Art (music, dance, literature, drawing, basketweaving etc.) nurtures creativity, the ability to transcend traditional ideas or patterns. It's a skill needed by everyone — football teams, scientists, politicians, filmmakers. The line between subjects is a construct, taught to us by the divide in subjects through education.

And this is my "mini" assignment for this course. In both examples, I have drawn the letters by hand in Procreate.
