The Artist Within
Choose and write about any one of these–
- Think of an art you love (singing, playing a guitar, drawing nature sketches, painting, digital design, sewing, etc.) and write the story of discovering this part of your “artist within.”
- Is there a time in your life when you lost the artist within? How did this happen? What did you learn? Have you rediscovered this part of you? If so, how?
