Confidence grows when we realize we can learn what we need, when we need it—and Kevin Murphy’s approach to teaching art is a powerful example of that.
In this inspiring episode, master illustrator and educator Kevin Murphy shares how he helps students shift from relying on talent to mastering skills, and how that transformation builds deep confidence they can carry into every part of life.
Through art, Kevin shows kids (and adults!) that they can create incredible, realistic work—even beyond what professional artists achieve. And when they see what’s possible with skills and practice, they begin to believe they can learn any skill they set their mind to.
If you want your kids to pursue their art passion while growing the kind of confidence that spills into every part of their learning and leadership, this episode is for you!
