Beyond technique and experimental approaches, visual art takes critical thinking to a whole other level. Visual artists have access to studios in drawing, painting, printmaking and hand built clay work. They derive inspiration from pieces by fellow artists, and from the natural world around us, to develop a critical eye to design and execute unique works.
Meet the Mentor
Valérie Dibbets
Visual Arts Mentor
Hi there, my name is Valérie Dibbets, 25 years old and at the time of writing, I am graduating from my master’s degree in Film and Photographic Studies. Living in the south of the Netherlands, this is my first time in the US and as the Visual Arts Mentor for this summer, I am really looking forward to unleashing and developing our creative minds together!
My daughter draws and her medium is usually markers. Last night when she was telling someone she is an artist and they asked what her medium is, she replied, paints, charcoal, and markers. That is huge.
