In the 1990's I published a daily diary on the internet that followed my work as a painter and sculptor. Schools and colleges throughout the world accessed the site and it can lay claim to being the world's first "blog". The diary continues from my studio at Antrim and is currently followed by thousands of art students in over fifty countries.

"Notes for Art Students" began life four years ago as a supplement for students attending my art classes. I have now re-launched the site in the hope that it will benefit all Dominican students who will be taking the CXC exam in Visual Arts.

From now on these pages will interactive and feature your work...your successes and what you may think as your failures. Send a photo to: antrimstudio@gmail.com of the painting or drawing that you would like me to critique. I will then feature your work along with my feedback.

Your creative potential

While I patiently wait for Dominica Grammar School CXC students to send it samples of their work, here is a sample from one of your fellow students (my son) who is not taking art. 

Tristan made the drawing when he was five. It is a picture of a house he one day intends to build. If he can produce his own masterpiece at five you can produce yours at sixteen. Remember what I told you about creative potential diminishing between birth and sixteen. Rediscover your creativity before it's too late!
