Apart Of My Cultural Identity

Decent Essays
Furthermore, another element apart of my cultural identity is how I love to do art. It is one of my favorite passions. Resembling every other artists, I use art to show emotions. Who cares about trying to explain it to people; you know a picture is worth a thousand words. Both my mom and grandmother love arts and crafts and so does lots more people in my family. This talent runs through the family, and has for quite some time. I can do paintings, nail painting, drawing, coloring, shading, and many crafts. There’s just one problem, I cannot just think of something and put it on paper. Looking at something and coping it on paper, is the one skill I’ve mastered. However, that can lead to ramifications, because then that means I cannot take credit

    I was born in Germany, where I was surrounded by rich European art. Most of my artwork represents places, buildings, and artists that I was exposed to while living in Germany. I was introduced to art at an early age by my mother who took me to an art museum where I began taking art lessons at. Throughout the years I developed a heartfelt passion for art and the medieval era. When we left Germany my art was still in a cartoonist style, but when we came over to the US my elementary and high school art teacher helped me develop a more realistic style that shows traces of my heritage.…

    I vividly remember the first day of sixth grade; I looked at my schedule just “knowing” I would switch out of the “Odyssey of the Mind” class, especially since I had never even heard of it before. I had no idea that exactly two years later I would be the one standing in the middle of the Iowa University stadium, performing in front of hundreds of other passionate competitors from over a hundred countries around the world. I have always been good at painting, drawing, and coming up with witty answers to teacher's questions. However, only a few other students understood what I was saying. I was never able to put my creative skills to good use, besides the rare once-a-quarter projects we would have.…

    If asked this question two years ago I would have provided a different answer, resultantly from having moved to a place where cultural identity and affiliation with one’s culture is overt and expressed in conversation daily, I have become accustomed to daily self-reflection. Living here has opened my eyes to who I am and where I come from in a greater sense than anywhere else I have lived. Hence, I am reminded daily, that my culture is different from those in my community and in my family, yet I am embraced by and embrace the people I meet. My cultural identity stems from privilege, security, abundance, education and sustenance. I recognize the difference’s between my husbands and my upbringing and understand the way family and one’s culture…

    It is not just a simple portrayal of our current thoughts or moods, as well as not a simple understanding of past cultures. Art is a tactile way of expressing humanity as a timeless, self-aware group of beings. Everything that we can see, touch, hear, smell, and taste is a form of art. It is not restricted to one sense of our bodies, but can be all at once. I have an incredible amount of trouble getting used to new practices in music, but I realize that just because I do not understand it does not negate the fact that it is a form of expression that the world uses to evoke its true potential.…
