One of the greatest joys of creating art is showing it to people and the simple act of doing so makes a valuable statement to both the viewer and the creator. I am an artist! In this workshop students learnt some simple achievable ways to create art they can share and display to promote themselves as an artist.

The face of the art world is changing, artists are no longer limited to gallery spaces or exclusive spaces, and more artists are choosing to run similarly to small businesses. Part of this process is self-advertising, and an incredibly popular method for youth is by making art stickers that promote the branding of the artist themselves.

Through a series of fun activities the students learnt the power of self promotion and how they can create a fulfilling career as an artist. They then came up with some concepts and created some final artwork using Posca paint pens on watercolour paper. We photographed the designs and printed them onto sticker paper. The students proudly left with their stickers ready to share their art with the world on laptop covers, skateboard decks, binders and drink bottles.
