Welcome to my new ART Blog!

Drawing (Introduction to)VAR11

I am studying Visual Arts Online (how hard is that!)through OUA (Open Universities Australia www.open.edu.au)@ Curtin UNI. Drawing is my second Unit @ Curtin, the first was VSW11 -Printmaking. The Projects are 'full-on' but I am learning a lot, and although it is stressful at times, I am really enjoying the process. Studying and learning about Art, is what I have wanted to do for so long........hope you enjoy the ride and feel free to make comments along the way!
