There are more than three million homeschooled students in the United States today, and Karen Barge is offering a unique opportunity for them to learn how to tap into their artistic skills with her Sunny Art Academy. Karen has crafted online classes for K-12 students and adults who want to broaden their artistic scope and learn the basics of drawing and painting. She explains the many benefits of taking art classes, including the improvement of mental health, the encouragement of self-expression, and an increase in self-awareness. She also dishes advice on how young kids can nurture their artistic talent in preparation of becoming a professional artist. The best thing any artist can do is sketch every single day to grow artistic skill.
