A Good Day for Art

Hello! My name is Nancy Strear. Welcome to “A Good Day for Art!”  I have been a teacher  for over 30 years.  Using my background in teaching, I have created a series of art classes and workshops that are stimulating yet simple. The classes are designed so that everyone, regardless of art training, can successfully create art. A variety of workshops and classes can move you into art making in as little as 2 hours!

It is my belief that it is important for people to use their creativity in order to feel balanced and whole. My quick philosophy on “why we need to create” is based on how our brains work.

Most of our waking time is spent in left-brain analytical thinking. Here we plan, plot, and proceed through most of our activities in a logical and orderly manner. This is good. This is the grocery list for our days. This is also boring. Our right brain is our creative, intuitive, humorous place of our thinking. Here we daydream, imagine, and explore our possibilities. The boundaries are loose, there is no list, and this is good.

Art making uses our left brain to find a class or workshop and then drive us there, and then moves over so our right brain can have some fun! Art making is healing as it integrates our left and right brain thinking to explore new possibilities, and  find new ways to express ourselves. When making art  the right brain come to the stage for some “shine time”. Imagination can now take hold and move you from the fast lane to the fragrant meadow.

I have created a diverse series of workshops and classes that can stimulate your right brain thinking in new ways. I have drawn upon my years as an educator to ensure that your time with me will be both enjoyable and well spent and that your creations will reflect who you are, not who I am. Please look through this website for a class that inspires you, and sign up today!

Now is the perfect time to engage in this journey. Today is  A Good Day for Art - Let's Make Art Today!
