Personal Narrative: My Art Stereotypes

Decent Essays
There was this poster I used to own. It was an anime poster (InuYasha) compared to what most teens had in their when they were my age. To me, it wasn't just a poster, it had been something that truly inspired me to draw more. It basically was my foundation of my art hobby, it was the very first show that wasn't made in America. To me it inspired me to draw anime, which I still continue till this day. From what I remember, I had started drawing during the sixth grade and continued to develope my artstyle until my freshmen year in high school. It was probably around the time I have first gotten the poster at some clothing and Misc shops in the mall (maybe before, I don't really remember when I got that poster), after getting it.

    Since a very young age, art has always been one of my major interests. I found joy in getting my hands messy with the paint and then transforming a white piece of paper into a something more than that with a rainbow of colors. In school, I always made sure to take all the possible art classes that were available and would fit my schedule. I also began to get more in involved in after school clubs such as the National Art Honor Society and the SmART Club where we did several art projects every week. On my last year of high school I decided to challenge myself and I took AP Studio Art: Drawing Portfolio.…

    College is a life changing investment that prepares for life and career. The vast spectrum of knowledge, skills obtained, and experiences from a college degree more than compensates for the monetary cost of tuition. Creating art is my passion; I have always wanted to become a great artist ever since I was a child drawing on my walls and copying pictures from books. I have devoted my life to improving my talents by illustrating my own stories, practicing drawing daily, and challenging myself to earning my own money doing what I love by drawing commissions. Learning how to communicate through illustration is a valuable skill that will live with me for the rest of my life and progressing my artist career.…

    To the ones who believe asking, “What are you?” is a valid conversation starter, I am multiracial and proud, but to simplify my ethnicities to others when asked, I identify myself as Asian. I was stereotyped because of how we are perceived in media and society. I spent years cowering in my own skin because others made me believe I was not Asian because of the size of my eyes, the color of my hair, and my personal interests. I was ashamed of what I looked like since I was convinced it embodied who I am as a person.…

    As a member of the Art Club, I make art with others for both personal enjoyment and promotion of school-wide events. Originally, I had joined art club to become friends with people who shared my hobbies, but throughout my years as a member, my goals have begun to include making sure members don’t let their self-confidence impede their creativity as well as making sure they don’t go hungry. After spending nearly four years attending weekly meetings and creating art, I’ve learned that certain hobbies aren’t restricted to specific types of people. With all the stereotypes regarding artists, I had first assumed everybody in the Art Club would be carbon copies of those same stereotypes. Yet, as I spent time there and saw people join and leave, I…

    The night is finally here; I remember being so enthusiastic I could barely sit. I remember shifting around as if I was a crime waiting to hear my sentence. I remember being so excited to hang out with you outside of school that my mom just wanted me to leave the house—that’s how annoying I was about what outfit I would wear and how I looked. I remember wearing my favorite pair of jeans with a normal white tee. “I could feel the weight of my necklace pressed up against my skin, not quite as heavy as the converse on my feet as I walked to open the door.”…

    Eleven years ago, when I first entered the school district I am currently in, it was predominantly White. As the years went on, I would see truckloads of White classmates move away while simultaneously seeing truckloads of minorities filling the space they left. I had no problem with this because I can speak to and feel comfortable with any person, regardless of ethnicity. It was not until my eleventh grade AP Psychology teacher, Mr. Surget, identified this phenomenon as white flight that I completely solved the puzzle. I did not think anything of it and still do not.…

    From the magical rides to glorious castles, Disney World truly is a wonderland. As a child, I constantly dreamed of visiting the sites I saw in various Disney movies, and my dreams came to life once I had visited Disney World. Through every visit, my love grew, not only for the characters, but also for the intricate structures, and the amazing architecture used to create them.
