Creating art is about making something where nothing existed. Is about bringing meaning to symbols and content. Art doesn’t only exist in artist works, but in their minds, in their process. It is a mean to express ourselves, understand our surroundings, and to fjnd the truth on what we see. This proposed space needs to help students fjnd their purpose in art, discover their process. Learn from their community and share their work. This space needs to allow them to expresses themselves.
