9th

What has been your favorite class at Field and why?

I have fallen in love with my studio seminar class. I have the creative freedom to explore whatever I want. I learned in this class that "there is no paper-cutting police" during a session with a class speaker. This opened my eyes to living in my own creative freedom without limitations.
