What if I told you that some people see more colors than others (but I'm not talking about colorblindness)? Or that an entire art skill almost went entirely extinct less than 50 years ago because of the CIA? Would you believe me?   This week's episode is a wild ride with a little bit of (true) conspiracy theories, some science, and eventually, we get to talking about business. Our guest, Mandy Theis, is a fun and wise art teacher who set out to not only teach others to get in touch with their creative side, but to revive the teachings of the atelier art style while doing it.   In this fast-paced hour together, we talk about what exactly atelier art is, where it originated from, why it almost went completely extinct in the 1900s, how to train your brain to see life more colorfully, and finally, how Mandy got the inspiration to start the School of Atelier Arts accredited Masters program.    Don't miss this episode packed with creativity and inspiration that will make anyone listening immediately want to start taking art classes!  Key Topics: What is atelier art?
