Feedback on Overall Workshop

The most effective component of the program was the speaking component. She was very effective when teaching about life lessons and the principles of leadership.


It was unique to paint on water. It was cool to see Asian philosophy. Good to cooperate your personal experiences to the lecture.


Her personal experience with the development of a creative process and how to develop your own creative process. Seeing the art that she personally did inspires my personal endeavors of my own artistic abilities, and connect those relationships between life and art.


Amy Lee Segami was a very inspiring speaker. I am very happy I was able to attend this seminar! Incorporating art and effective team participation really made this memorable. I was able to meet new friends and learn some valuable insight into leadership. I can’t wait till’ the next one!!


Amy Lee Segami related to us from her student days/experiences and could tailor the presentation to be more relevant to us. I really liked that this presentation required much conversation and collaboration of the table groups. My group really got to share our ideas and work together.


The practicality of being able to use different techniques to achieve a creative image on water using very basic and yet powerful tools.


The confidence between leadership and painting on water.


The presenter did a good job giving us new insights and ways to deal with problems creatively. I like how she tied in engineering to art.


Taking a very basic idea of creativity and art, and adding my own uniqueness. After seeing what others did, I was able to add their ideas to my overall project. That’s what leadership is – taking skills, ideas, and critiques from those around you and putting it all together. Each painting was specifically creative to each individual. When we did the group painting, we did something unique from others which allowed us all to contribute our personal styles to it.

Learned how to paint on water which was an entirely new experience and shared new ideas with different people. This program also provided an opportunity to interact with new people and make friends. The instructor also helped us with ways to solve problems with creativity. And I personally got inspiration from Amy Lee Segami.
