Kayla's goal was to push herself to draw. She's been working on developing different styles and techniques with some colorful results! Check out the progress shots she included of one of her drawings.

Drawing helps Alice feel more relaxed and mindful, which maybe explains why her goal was to complete new drawings every week. Alice experimented with new challenges, finding the inspiration to create these original illustrations.

Olivia set her sights on completing a project that's been a while in the making. Her goal is to illustrate all 30 characters from a story/role play game that she created with her best friend. She's been tackling new challenges like drawing curly hair and capturing different eye shapes. Great start Liv!

Luella's goal is to give this mannequin head a complete makeover with a new paint job. The foam required a little repair, and Luella has been using papier mache to whip her form back into shape. Way to put a dent in, by taking the dents out Luella.

Eden wanted to prioritize her free time to gain more confidence as an artist. She's been busy drawing and intends to watercolor her pieces. Although the delivery of her paints has been delayed, her drawings are showing progress. Can't wait for the color!

Iggy's goal was to gather his photographs into a digital portfolio reel with original music. He worked hard to score this video, showing determination when troubleshooting how to add his recorded music to his footage. Check out his efforts here.

Charlotte wanted to create a comfortable attitude towards her art and create a drawing challenge to build her confidence. Her goal was to draw sunflowers for 15 minutes a day. Making mistakes often frustrates her, however Charlotte was able to keep her drawings without scrapping them immediately!

Lorelei's goal was to develop her animation skills. She's been wanting to improve, specifically on her comedic timing. During the project, Lorelei practiced ways to sync up sound with the animated movements to build better visual jokes and make her work funnier overall.

Noam set out to take advantage of his mom's home ceramic studio for his independent project. Noam's focus was to learn directly from an expert potter, and bond with his mom during the process. His goal was to create 3 finished ceramic works.
