Testimonials

I believe an artist is someone who uses anything to relay a message or uses anything to express themselves or a state being. Through Saint Louis ArtWorks I have been able to make art in a variety of ways. I have been a part of the drawing/ painting discipline during summer 2006 and through the Creative Futures program I have been able to be a part of both the benches/chairs discipline as well as the doorways discipline. I have learned how to make something that expresses an idea, thought, or theme with the help of ArtWorks. The organization has also allowed me to learn how to do new things like graphic design, and how to construct something as sophisticated as an artistic chair.

ArtWorks has allowed me to think differently. I have realized I can be not only creative in words, but rather in the way I draw, color choice, and my use of object placement within an piece of artwork. I appreciate the opportunity Saint Louis ArtWorks has given me because it has allowed me to gain knowledge about new ways to construct art and technology. The organization has allowed me the chance to make art for a client or clients. This allows me to get my artwork out there as well as allowing people to see my creativity. Ultimately Saint Louis ArtWorks has been a very beneficial by providing me with the opportunity to sell, make, construct, and most importantly having my work displayed at no cost to me.
