As a young artist, I believe that using local materials in the creation of an

you use materials found in your own home or community. These local materials are a
great place to start if you want to be an artist or a craftsman.

2. Do you think using local materials can improve your craftsmanship?

Yes, in my opinion, because using local materials allows us to improve our

abilities, knowledge, and significant others in making arts without having to look for
them because local materials are find at our home or community.
