HEY! Did you get all the way to bottom of this agenda? You've read it, updated your calendar/agenda as needed, and are all prepared for the week ahead - and beyond? WELL DONE. FIST PUMP. You may have been born with natural talent, which is awesome... but you may not have as much talent as you would like, which is totally fine.... Much of what we do in this class is "teachable - no talent required." From the list, "10 Things That Require Zero Talent": 1) Choose one quality that you are sure you do have and that you can easily bring with you to art class every day AND  2) Choose one quality that you will prioritize as a goal to focus on throughout the year.
