  Our first task on 'fine arts' studies was self portrait. Nowaday people comfortable by making selfies in front of camera. But I felt bunch of shame. Like that task breaks my personal boudaries. Beyond the Screen: Why the Mirror Demands More Than the Selfie We live in an era of hyper-visibility. At any moment, we can summon a polished, filtered version of ourselves with a tap of a screen. Selfies are instantaneous, curated, and frictionless. But when I hand an incoming fine arts student a small handheld mirror and ask them to translate their reflection onto paper or canvas using charcoal or paint, a collective tension settles over the studio. The shoulders tense. The room goes quiet. Suddenly, the effortless confidence of digital self-presentation shatters against the heavy reality of raw observation. The Vulnerability of True Seeing As an instructor, I often witness a profound psychological shift during this first assignment. In The Courage to Teach , Parker Palmer writes abo...

       After five years of architecture studies, my renders still looked very poor. I tried to make some interior visualizations for my MA defense—something like 'people in a lounge attending an immersive exhibition.' It looks like a screenshot from a 90s video game, but it was made with love.

     I was curious for a long time how art and art therapy are connected. Few day ago I attended art therapy masterclass  for the first time in my life. That was about 10 people group. First 45 min we just share how our thing going over last week. Than coverstion move to importance of our name in the life. Some of us really have a strong impact of name version they colling.      After all we get a task to make a composition from the favorite version of our name letters. I'm afreaid I percept that task of artistic font making. That was an attempt to depict letters as skyscrapers. And now have an idea to finally make a serie where letters are like everyday things.   

     What are the most surprising comments did you get from clients?      Once I get a task to make logo in blue color. I was given one of google services to follow its blue colour and I just used colorpicker on screen itself to get it. So the comment I've got on submitted work was - "that blue is not happy".     Not sure how often nowadays graphic designer facing with display issues, but at the start of career in digital grafics you probably met similar issue. If you have no opportunity to check the color or font with developer tools in your browser you would better ask to provide color code and even check if it on safe colors list to avout unexpected results.

    Art teachers, expecially those who works with children knows that it is more fruitful to be prepared with some templates or methods that grarantee good result thats why neurographics attract my attension. Method based on free hand drawing and coloring so the result is very individaul and still effective.     If we believe that art it is not only about right shapes and proportions but also about feeling and emotions looks that methodology is a good appoach.     From my perspective that technique often brings a result of feel and look like vitrage that is my passion.
