Joell Restad's Artistic Journey: Expanding Horizons with Sessions' Fine Arts Certificate Program
In the picturesque town of Homer, Alaska, Joell Restad, the proud owner of the Art Shop Gallery, is embarking on a new creative journey. With no prior experience in taking art classes, Joell has chosen to pursue a Fine Arts Certificate at Sessions, a decision that promises to broaden her artistic knowledge, creativity, and understanding of art.
The Sessions Fine Arts Certificate program, a 3-month course, offers a unique blend of structured learning, hands-on creation, and guided mentorship. Over the course of 16 hours, participants create three masterpieces, receive a starter kit, and enjoy access to materials and dedicated studio time for practice. The program concludes with a certificate of completion, a credential that validates their commitment and competence in fine arts.
For Joell, this program is more than just a certification. It's an opportunity to challenge her creativity, learn to analyze art, its quality, and various styles. The flexibility of online study at Sessions has been instrumental in helping Joell fit her education into her work schedule and family life. Moreover, the online nature of the program has allowed her to travel and take her studies with her, making learning a truly global experience.
The Art Shop Gallery, which Joell owns, represents more than 50 artists in various forms of art, including paintings, jewelry, and native crafts. Interestingly, one of her photography instructors, Taz, is a featured artist in her gallery. Joell values the expert advice from her instructors on her artwork and appreciates the growth in her vocabulary of art words.
Joell's skills were previously on the merchandising side of displaying art. However, with her newfound knowledge and confidence, she is advising students to be vulnerable and put themselves out there when exhibiting their work. She suggests using social media to showcase work and approaching gallery owners for potential exhibitions.
In the future, Joell is not only training to become an art appraiser, specifically of Alaskan art, but also aiming to continue her journey with Sessions, exploring new avenues of artistic growth and professional development. The Sessions Fine Arts Certificate program has proven to be a stepping stone in Joell's artistic journey, opening up new possibilities and challenging her creativity in ways she never thought possible.
