Angeline's Artistic Stages

Video: Angeline's 3 Art Stages, 2010

When I look back on the "body of art work" from my last ten years, there are some distinct style and knowledge changes in my style of art. When you look at the work by an artist, you want to see growth and change as time passes. Those changes mean that the artist is studying, learning, practicing, and creating. Those changes mean that the artist is truly an artist: no matter what happens, he or she is always searching for ways to learn and stretch.

This speech concentrates on three stages that I have noticed in my art work. I look forward to having more stages...and if you have a better word than "stages," please share!

This speech was one of my first three given at the Florida City Speedway Toastmaster's Club earlier this year (2010). As with most of the speeches, it is between 5 and 8 minutes long (just warning you!). If you saw my last video speech, you would probably agree that my public speaking skills are improving.
