Residency Project
7 days
3 artist talks:
- My Arts education
- After university, artist residency experience
- Mural practice and exhibiting in Tokyo.
For the rest of the classes I would go around giving critiques on their current works and we could have a group painting on the go. I could also give classes on abstract art and collage. I could bring in some art that I am working on. That way they can see me work with them.
