Jonathan Kear: YEStudio's Featured Artist of the Month!

Jonathan has been with us since January 2009. He has shown talent from the first, but has since had extensive growth in his abilities in many mediums. At the FAB-ulous Kids Art Show, upstairs at ArtSpace, Jonathan sold his pastel sunflower piece! He was ecstatic to be a professional artist! His sunflower was unique with an abstract quality.
He has a lot of fun in the ArtSpace classroom and we enjoy him so much. He has the ability to get along with both the new and returning students and instantly makes the newbies feel welcome When we have a show, he is one of the first to bring in his artwork for us to display. Jonathan is an avid TN Vols fan and loves to show it in his art pieces. If there is an opportunity to put a power T or some orange in a piece, he is all over it! Jonathan likes to be given artistic license; probably more than any of our other students. If we tell him he can add his own touches, he is very happy to use his 'artist's eye' to create something of his own.

Since his first session, he has continued to improve. We just recently learned that he has decided to join us for another session at YEStudio and we couldn't be happier! He keeps the conversations moving all during classes. When we ask questions about art history, an artist we have done, or about the elements of art. Jonathan readily answers these questions and proves that he has learned a lot!

We hope to continue teaching Jonathan the basics of the mediums that we explore in classes. He is a willing and able student. Keep up the good work Jonathan, and keep on having fun!
