How I did it: I became a vegan (then turned vegetarian cause I wasn't getting enough protein). I started drinking tea instead of coffee and have totally quit caffeine. I eat many many more vegetables. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I simply found a show to enter that heard about through some local advertising. I signed up to enter the show, I paid the entry fee, I readied my artwork (with final touches, hanging wires, and description tags), and I brought the artwork on the day of the hanging. It wasn't a juried show - anyone could enter. I had a couple friends come to the opening. It was simple but at least I've done it once. Read how I did it…
I want to learn about:
becoming an illustrator
becoming a montessori school teacher
becoming a graphic designer in a design firm
becoming more involved in the arts in Denver
becoming a book designer
to do these things I want to talk to people in these professions. So I simply want to email people in these fields and ask if I can shadow them or find out more about what they do. I am a person who learns by seeing and doing… so this will help me gather my thoughts and help me move forward with decisions.
