Tell us about your experience that had an impetus on you to keep on the art track

Introduction

Some people think that art taught in schools (middle and high school ) is sufficient to keep one in this creative world . While one cannot deny the overall importance of learning art in school , there is a bigger aspect to all this that can never be passed from the class teacher to the art student this aspect comes from the artist himself / herself
