The name Art is Hard comes from the idea how art is prevalent in our lives and should not be over looked in schools. Art and design are beneficial to relieving stress, provoking intellectual stimulation and best of all creating an object in the world which was not present before. Art is Hard supports the “Do It Yourself Community” and encourages others to create, make and design.
