Sign 'I', 'love', 'my', then sign 'art' by using your dominant pinky to draw a squiggle down your open non-dominant hand, and finish with the sign for 'class'.
Point to the person to indicate 'she', sign 'make', 'beautiful', and then sign 'art' by using your pinky like a delicate brush painting down your non-dominant palm.

Yes! The sign for 'art' and 'draw' are exactly the same. You use your pinky finger to squiggle down your open palm. The exact meaning is understood based on the context of your conversation.
Yes, you should always use your non-dominant hand as the canvas. Your dominant hand, which is the hand you naturally write with, should be the one doing the active painting motion with the pinky finger.
No, using the index finger changes the sign completely. In ASL, specific handshapes are very important for meaning. The pinky finger specifically represents the fine tip of a paintbrush or pencil for the word 'art'.
