Rachel Broussard 

The first point Rachel gave was to go see art. Places she gave to visit were The Blanton, East Austin Studio Tours, The Contemporary Museum, etc. She told us to use the art building and that art takes time. She talked about a list of 10 things: 10 expert skills and 10 influences.

Caelan Navarrete

Caelan told us to make art work other than class assignments. This will help you to find your own style. An important piece of advice she gave us was to intern with an artist or creative organization. This will help you to gain experience and be able to learn more about the art world and how one functions in it.

GDES

Shelby Savage 

Shelby told us we could find an idea or statement to use in our art. Something that interests us will have us more motivated to create art. She also told us that we should find a medium that interests us.

Paul Young IV

Paul’s work were most of the posters for events on campus. Paul encouraged us to be active in the visual arts community not just at St. Edwards, but also outside in the real world. Go out and meet people within the community you want to join.

PHCO 

Crissy Smith 

Crissy encouraged us to find what we are passionate about and incorporate it and help it drive our art.

Juliana Ramirez

Juliana told us how she and her friends started up a gallery together. She emphasized the idea of going out and creating our own artistic opportunities, like she did with the gallery, and getting to know the art scene outside of school.
