Not every piece of art you make has to be a masterpiece. I think one of the leading causes of “Artist’s Block” is the idea that you have to create a beautiful piece of art every time you put pencil to the page.  This is not the case. In fact 90% of the time you’re drawing, it should be practice. Practicing hands or faces. Practicing cars or trees.  Or practicing a future finished piece of art.  If you look at my sketchbook you will find a scribbling mess that only makes sense to me.  It’s far from a 
masterpiece, but that’s the way it should be.

NEVER RIP PAGES OUT OF YOUR SKETCH BOOK!!! I cannot stress this enough. Do not throw out your drawings.
I don’t care how much you hate your drawing.
I don’t care how “stupid” or “terrible” you think the drawing is, you have to keep it. 
Why?
Because, even if the drawing is bad, the idea can be terrific.  I can’t tell you how many great comic book ideas I’ve gotten by looking at very old (and bad) sketches.  If I threw out the sketches I thought were terrible I would of lost that great idea.  So keep your sketches, your future self will thank you!

Welcome our newest instructor to the Academy, SAGE!!

Sage is our new drum instructor and has opened up our sold out days for lessons on Monday and Friday!

Sage wanted to share a little about himself.
“My dad is a musician and I started playing around on piano as far back as I can remember. I picked up drums around 8 yrs old. I started teaching in highschool. I love going back to Colorado, hiking, camping, climbing, skiing. Ive played in bands of almost all genres. Favorite food is breakfast burritos. No pets, too much to do and too busy moving around.I look forward to meeting you soon and working at CAA!”

Why Trophies and Bracelets?

When I was just starting out as a piano teacher, my little students would look up at me curiously and ask, “When will I be ‘done’ learning piano?” And I would want to say, “NEVER! You always keep learning! You’re never ‘done!'” Even though I was young, I knew this was not the right answer. I realized that these students needed benchmarks. The process of learning is long. The journey feels unending (especially when you are 7!). That’s why we have the Musical Ladder System.
 
The Musical Ladder System shows kids mile markers that they are striving for. Every 90 days, they are given a test, which displays their progress and understanding of what they have been working on. Kids feel great pride and ownership when they pass their next level. They can hold something tangible in their hands that says “I’m progressing! I’m learning! I’m doing this!”
 
We believe everyone learns at their own pace and in their own way. That’s why each test is carefully created for the individual student. We do not have a central curriculum–we tailor each lesson to the individual student.  Personality styles, learning styles, and age all play a role in how quickly a student will grasp various skills. 
 
The teachers at Canton Arts Academy are carefully chosen to teach at our school. They know that each student is an individual! We all LOVE one-on-one lessons because we can give each student our full attention for the full lesson. There is nothing more powerful than that! 
 
The students at our school eagerly ask, “When’s my next test?!” Now, when have you ever seen kids EXCITED about a test before?? This is what tells me that The Musical Ladder System is working!
 
Ask YOUR teacher about The Musical Ladder System! As you climb the ladder, you’ll see your progress and celebrate your wins!
 
Not a student yet? We are quickly reaching capacity and our waiting lists are growing for certain days and teachers. Please give us a call or email or text to get going with YOUR musical journey! 770-345-7529 or info@cantonartsacademy.com.

Shawn’s Drawing Tips

NEVER RIP PAGES OUT OF YOUR SKETCH BOOK!!! I cannot stress this enough. Do not throw out your drawings.
I don’t care how much you hate your drawing.
I don’t care how “stupid” or “terrible” you think the drawing is, you have to keep it. 
Why?
Because, even if the drawing is bad, the idea can be terrific.  I can’t tell you how many great comic book ideas I’ve gotten by looking at very old (and bad) sketches.  If I threw out the sketches I thought were terrible I would of lost that great idea.  So keep your sketches, your future self will thank you!
 
 
Shawn teaches classes in drawing, comics & manga, and photoshop each week!
 
Call us today to setup a trial class with Shawn at Canton Arts!
