Hi! I am Ashlea, I love everything about art from creating new pieces to viewing others' pieces. I have always loved art, taking the advanced courses in high school and painting in my free time. Since coming to college I have not been able to take the time to make as much art. I still craft on a regular basis, I love making people gifts and cards and using GLITTER! On everything and anything. My friends get frustrated they always have glitter all over the place! I love learning and creating new things. I believe art is about expressing and exploring yourself and the world. I want to learn as much as I possibly can about other cultures and am passionate about helping others and believe art can be used in this way as well. I want to use art as much as possible in my future class because I do believe a child's involvement in art will make them more successful and happy. I hope to continue creating pieces and ideas I can use in my future class and in my own life!
