My First Post: Behind the Masterpiece.

Hello, My name is Elizabeth, I am the owner and creative director of Mosaic Fine Arts Academy in Vaughan. Through my years as an active member in the arts community, I've had the pleasure of working with extraordinary individuals who have made a great impact on my career and life. These lessons I then passed onto my students. Today we continue to learn and problem solve as we continue to move through an ongoing pandemic. 

At the start of the pandemic I've had to pivot the academy's direction. In that time I saw how everyone turned to the arts as a means of release from the uncertainties of everyday. This lead me to start my IGTV Series "A Masterpiece in Minutes." I'm happy to extend the series into a blog, and give detailed steps with beautiful imagery. Welcome to Mosaic Fine Arts Academy's first virtual school! We believe that everyone should have art in their lives, and hope we may inspire and ignite your imagination. 

Before you start, keep in mind:
​Just Like everyone has a story, every art piece has one too. An initial thought sparks a continuous path of ideas, some are recreated leaving us content with the results, while others leave us deflated and un-satisfied.

Before giving up on our ideas, we should ask ourselves- why? Why did we start in the first place? What brings us joy in the process? 

Whatever your "Why?" Always remember to ask: "Why does it have to be perfect?"
My hope for you, art-loving beings of the world, is to let go of expectations! Enjoy the process and know that regardless of the results, you'll definitely learn something new while having fun.

Happy accidents are probably the best things to happen in the process and once you allow yourself to let go, you will become the true artist within you! 

“Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep."
