How Art Classes Build Confidence in Adults
For many adults stepping into an art studio can feel intimidating and scary. Thoughts like "I can’t draw," or "I’m not creative" come to mind. But something transformative happens when people make time to sit and make art: confidence grows. Whether you're returning to art after not doing it since school or trying something new for the first time, art classes offer more than just a chance to learn a skill. They become a space for personal growth, self-expression, and inner reassurance.
Relax and Recharge with an Art Class Off the Tourist Trail
When visiting Edinburgh you’ll discover centuries-old castles, sweeping views, historic streets, and lively shops, but if you’re looking for something truly memorable and a little different, step away from the tourist trail and come to Studio 48. Tucked away in Leith, we are a welcoming art studio offering a refreshing escape from the busyness of the city centre. It’s a place where creativity flows freely, where visitors of all ages and abilities can enjoy the simple pleasure of making art, meeting new people, and take home something they’ve created with their own hands.
Why You Should Make Time for Art (Even If You Think You’re Not ‘Creative’)
Many dismiss the idea of making art, believing they lack creativity or artistic talent. They may say "I can’t draw” or "I was never good at art in school” – but really art is for everyone. It’s not just for those who might consider themselves naturally gifted. Being an artist or a creative is not an exclusive club! While technical skills can be developed, art can just be a form of joy and self-expression, and is an activity that anyone can and should partake in.
The Importance of Bad Art
In this blog post I wanted to explore the idea that art has to be perfect in order to be valid. Sometimes society has made it feel like being a good artist is just a natural-born thing, where you either have it or you don’t. You are either a creative person or you are not. Some biopics represent art like you just start creating and the ideas come pouring out and it is perfection at first stroke.
