Unlike the children and other young adults before, this participant wanted to take the time to thinking about where they would like to make a contribution to the canvas. This wasn't because they were hesitant to make a mark, but rather because they wanted there own marks to have a conversation with others marks.

As an artist, this participant had an interesting relationship with control. Having guidelines to work from actually helped the process of getting into an expressive flow, these were made with chalk and included selecting the right brush.
The guides give them that sense of accuracy and control before the mark making process happens, so it does not interrupt the process later when they are just expressing themselves. 

This participant has developed a healthy growth mindset toward learning a new skill, that supports the research that repetition is required to learning anything. As a result, the participant has a profound confidence in the marks that they make. This confidence even comes through the mistakes, being able to follow through on the line even if it wasn't exactly as intended.

The artistry of this participants mark making practice came through in how they embraced this workshop as an opportunity to try new marks and let there art form develop. There was a continuous process of painting and sitting back to take in every mark. 

This participant showed the most interest in responding to other marks on the canvas, incorporating them into their lettering. Having the clear idea of what they wanted to do on the canvas in the first place helped them consciously interact with the other marks. 

As participants in previous workshops weren't sure of what they wanted to paint, perhaps a prompt that asked them to build on from existing marks would help get this expressive process happening.
