<strong>Welcome </strong>to Classroom17’s Blog and first post. I will just be introducing what collaborations are to come up and what amazing things are to be expected.
To start things off, Classroom17 is a group created for positive thinking and for the evolution of art-kind. So that any project created and accomplished will teach collaborators more about themselves as an individual artist, and more about other artists. Doing this should create a level of comfort amongst artists so that the ultimate goal may be fulfilled. The ultimate goal is opening each other minds to technique, knowledge, and confidence.

We expect that the artwork completed by collaborators will have a high level of potential. I expect that artists will start to think on a whole other level. Expanding that art form in front of our eyes.

Please remember that this is not a clan, there is no true initiation where no one can get out. This is an open experiment that anyone can join and leave. If the goal amount of artists isn't reached; then Mikey will specifically target any artists to make it a one on one collaborative session.

<em>The first collaborative to be introduced is…</em>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>project.PICKETT</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">If art is your passion then what is your hobby?</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">The goal is to have a fence of hobbies, hobbies are fun!
Hobbies are created to relieve stress. They are created
to get the mind off of matters that people should detach
from. To ease the mind, and to acknowledge it. Hobbies
inspire some great artwork.

<p style="text-align: left;">Please don’t take these theme’s literal, this theme should
inspire.Think of a hobby, do it...and see what inspiration
comes of it whether it be a mountain you saw while biking,
or an illustration of a chapter in your favorite book.
