Why I love Brave Girl Art School (by an Arkansas Brave Girl)….and why WE love it too!

Note from Kathy and the BG Team: We LOVE Art School!!!! We loved every single minute of helping Melody create the class. We LOVE all the amazing projects she created, and we LOVE seeing them on the walls of the Art Barn and in our office and our homes. We LOVE the wild explosion of creativity that we saw from all the girls (including our BG team) who took the class in the last session….we have literally HUNDREDS of photos of art created by Brave Girls of all ages and of all skill levels. We have LOVED seeing girls re-discover their creativity! Melody has such a fun way of teaching us her favorite techniques and how to use different tools and mediums and even things found around the house to make things that are more beautiful (and meaningful) than we ever thought we could. We discovered that WE CAN LEARN IT, and YOU CAN TOO.  Best of all, we LOVE that we get to spend this summer with YOU diving into Brave Girl Art School again!!!

Brave Girl Summer Art School begins Monday (this time combining Art School 1 and Art School: Wings into ONE ‘Fun Package’ at a discounted price…details here) and we just had to share this amazing letter we received a few days ago from D’Wana, a Brave Girl from Arkansas who shares with us how her life changed by taking Art School when it was offered 2 years ago. Art School is SO SO SOOOOOOOOO FUN…but in true Brave Girl style, these classes are also soulful and soul-filled and just might change your life, too!

Here’s D’Wana’s story…. “I cannot lay my head down to sleep without getting these words out tonight….. I just started moving into my newly constructed “Little Art Cabin in the Woods” that my sweet husband, Scotty, built for me. The magnitude of this day is not lost on me. When I was a very young girl, my father built me a “playhouse” ya know, “Little House on the Prairie” style with a loft and all. It’s one of the few “good” memories I have from my childhood. Then LIFE happens….and the little girl in me got very lost……. The journey to this day comes full circle in my soul’s restoration process as now, I have been given a gift that is more than a structure, it’s freedom to create,  heal, and bring my kindreds here to retreat.  I believe this dream was cultivated and fostered by the opportunity to be a part of the first ever BRAVE GIRL ART SCHOOL and the tribe of sisters I found along the way………

“When I signed up for Brave Girl Art School, it was a stretch for me. I never considered myself as creative, but I had it in me to learn some new, fun things and after other BG courses, I knew I couldn’t go wrong…. 14 copy “Right from the start I was amazed at the openness of sharing of gifts and techniques. That’s what is was for me. Gifts!!!  I  doodled, played with texture mediums, learned about color, played with polymer clay, took photos with intention, art journaled,  and then the one thing that has altered my life the most……….discovered my LOVE for LEATHER and the POWER of WORDS! A skill that grew after the course ended.  It became a source of provision to help get me to Africa to love on people… I raised funds selling leather cuffs that I learned to do because of Art School. Today, I continue to create and leather cuffs and enjoy a small hobby business named “Mountain Girl Melodies”  that purposes to help people remember the truth they already know. I have also learned to create with a purpose. Intention. The awareness of what we create can breathe life and hope into someone else. That when a friend is struggling, you can give a token of truth at the right times. At divinely appointed times. That’s priceless to me. 1 copy “I can’t begin to express the INSPIRATION shared during the sessions. It was different than the sharing of hard journeys of life. It was light and free and soooooooooooo FUN to watch projects unfold and discoveries made as sisters learned what they could do and in some cases, were already doing yet SHARING their gifts as well.  My most cherished relationships have come out of that community. Never competitive. Always cheering. Always. 11 copy I discovered Annie, who held my hand virtually as I stamped my first cuff……I found Janet, who taught me everything she knew with a CRAZY openness and taught me there was room for everyone (special thanks to Jeanne Oliver, you played a role too), I found Joelle, because her artistry kept drawing me in and we collectively tried to save some magic boots.  :)  These friendships have now lead to more sweet sisters. And what a SACRED time we had when 7 of them came to be with me a couple of months ago and bless my little cabin….. The benefit of Brave Girl Art School goes on and on. Beyond technique. dwana “So thank you, Melody Ross and the Brave Girl Posse for once again, providing life and heart tools that continue to be used in my daily life. You could have chosen to keep every bit of that goodness to yourself…..but you didn’t, you do what you do. You share your gifts, and we learn to share ours.  I notice more BEAUTY in life than I did before and thanks to you, now, I know how to create a little in this world too. My LOVE for you all is GREAT……….” — D’Wana Thank you, D’Wana!
