outside the lines - art workshops
Poynton
An independent art studio where artists of all ages can develop their creativity
and gain self-confidence through visual art. Join our email list > "My daughter
is enjoying art class very much and thus I am happy and satisfied. :) She
actually said it helped her calm down on a day where she had gotten angry with
her brother - now that's some good stuff! Thank you for inspiring them, and for
all that you do!" Kyrie Shomaker, MD When she was a little girl, Melanie Cramer
wanted to be an artist/ballerina/teacher/mommy. Apparently "ballerina" was code
for business owner because now she teaches art in her own studio. Her path
included earning an art degree from High Point College (now university), many
years spent as an art director for print media, and many more teaching preschool
locally. She founded Outside the Lines Art Studio in 2011 to share her belief in
the transformative power of visual art with her community. Meet the Owner:
Melanie Cramer IMG_2835.jpg At Outside the Lines Art Studio, we believe the
process of creating is far more valuable that the resulting creation. An artist
who has spent time exploring an art medium thoroughly may or may not produce a
masterpiece worthy of professional framing and prominent display, but they will
certainly produce something they are proud of, independent of others’ opinions.
They will have expressed themselves to their own satisfaction. They will have
experienced something new and learned from it. They will feel more self-assured
and confident. Those are products you can’t hang on the wall, or even the
fridge.
