Shawn working on his cast painting

Here is the interview with Shawn Minogue, who is also a 3rd year student.

1. What brought you to sora?

I was taking part time classes at the Art Institute. I knew if I wanted to learn how to draw and paint  in my life time I needed to take full time classes. I also heard from my teacher at Art institute that SORA was the place to learn how to draw and paint.
2.  What is the most valuable lesson you’ve learned from studying at SORA?

Discipline is the most valuable lesson. I think any one can learn to draw and paint but it takes determination

3. What is the biggest challenge you face as a 3rd year student?

We need to stay focused on the task in front of us. Mistakes are an important part of the process. The main thing is to keep plowing ahead.
