I Heard You Can Draw!
E4: A Story for Class Artists Everywhere!
Today we’re going to talk about being the “class artist”. The class artist is what I call that kid in elementary school who is identified as the person who can draw. Everyone knows that if they need something or want something drawn, they would go to that person. Were you the class artist? Is your child the class artist? I was.
Being the class artist can shape a person’s identity, and become a confidence booster! But at some point as artists, and people, we have to know when to draw the line and set limits, even if others don’t like it and you get some backlash from friends or strangers.
In this episode, I talk about how my experiences of being the class artist - the good and the bad - led me to write my first children's book: I Heard You Can Draw: A Story for Class Artists Everywhere, available on Amazon. This book is a shout out to all of the class artists out there!
