We are THRILLED with the turnout for our first D&D afternoon!

We had beginners and experts and our own Dungeon Master Ben to guide the way! 

Due to demand, we will be hosting D&D EVERY Thursday moving forward. 
We are also opening the group to kids in high school. 
Email Creedy@kelleylibrary.org with any questions.

I started drawing at age 4 and continued til now. I taught myself. I took classes in school, camp and college, but already knew how to do it. I didn’t know how to do sculpting and pottery though, which is why I enjoyed those classes the most.

Animals inspire me; their mannerisms, habitats, migration patterns, symbiotic relationships, species variations, diets, dilemmas and their hardships. And also, the self-sacrifices they make and what they’re feeling. 

What I would say to someone who wants to create art but doesn’t feel like they’re good at it is to firstly decide for yourself what’s your definition of “good art.” Then do the opposite. Look at a lot of different art, and label which you like and which you hate. It’s motivating to make art you enjoy when you make yourself create art that irritates and bores you. 

Paint your least favorite subject, draw the last place you’d like to visit again, sing a song you can’t stand. Because you dislike it so much, your mind and reflexes feel compelled to do something to make it endurable. That same compulsion will be more readily accessible when next you need it to make something you’d much rather create a little better.
