One of the earliest memory I have as a child was seeing Beauty and the Beast for the first time. That, for whatever reason, enchanted me. It was then I decided that I wanted to be an artist in some way, shape or form. I originally wanted to be a Disney animator because my affinity for drawing. I remember that I would recreate Glen Keane's animation in "The Little Mermaid" and I would, as hard as possible, to imitate his and many of the Disney artists' drawing styles.…
As a young girl, I was inspired by the cartoons I watched. I drew in my own style regardless if my creations were vaguely anthropomorphic. Praise from my friends when they saw my drawings felt like my work was worth the effort. The praise encouraged me to draw more often.…
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.…
I watched as she graded my statue with a concerned look on her face. Two hours later, I would find out that my project would not even receive an honorable mention. Despite not having my art praised for its abstract design, I learned about the satisfaction associated with the creative process. My interest in being creative dissipated during a seventh grade robotics camp.…
Fortunately, drawing was how I got on my feet and made most of my money. I charged $5 for a drawing but sometimes they would give more. Out of now where, a woman carrying a large brief case offered me an internship with her visual arts agency. She had seen my art on the internet posted by my buyers. That’s my story…

High quality art programs are an essential and important aspect in providing rich opportunities for young children to engage and learn. Research suggests art has significant benefits to children’s overall development including the development of creativity, expression, problem-solving, critical reflection and communication (Tutchell, 2014). Additionally, Griffiths (2018) recognises the involvement of creative engagement through drawing, music and language in child development. Thus, it is important to recognise each child as an artist who is creative and competent. This can be achieved through children manipulating various materials to communicate their feelings, ideas and understandings of the world (Tutchell, 2014; Wright, 2012).…
Because of them I stop drawing until I got to the high school and I took an drawing class. I realized I was good at it and at the end of the year my teacher said he wanted me to continue to draw and take drawing classes because I had talent. Since my teacher told me that I've been drawing since. It don't matter what people say to you.…
To keep myself busy, I always bring a sketchbook to school so I make up some new drawings. I like to sketch things like video game ideas, I play video games often and I have an active imagination so I fused the two of them together. My works of art aren’t that well sketched and I never show them off to the public, but it matters most to the artist what he himself thinks of his works. Putting my sociality and art aside, I am considered one of the brightest minds in my school and my family.…
I have dabbled with art ever since I was a toddler. I would draw anywhere I went: school, home, and even at church. It started out as a hobby, but soon, I immersed myself into the world of art by integrating art with medicine. I have always found medical dramas to be particularly intriguing. Developing into this interest, I started writing my own medical journal, where I took notes from a book called Gray’s Anatomy and from the medical dramas I watched.…
Throughout my high school career, and previous to high school, I have taken various science and art classes. These are subjects that have always caught my attention and I plan to continue attending classes that fall under these categories, during my senior year and throughout college. Science has been a subject that I have always had an interest in and have thoroughly enjoyed. During high school, my focuses have primarily been in health science classes that will help me excel in a medical career, although I have taken science classes outside of this area. The classes I have taken so far are Honors Biology, Medical Science I, Animal Science, Honors Chemistry…
An abundance of people appreciate the arts, whether it be the performing, visual or theatrical areas, on the other hand, I love them. My passion being the visual arts. Instead of writing and spelling at five years old, I was drawing, painting mixing colors and forming shapes not realizing the capableness of my techniques for such a young aged child. Because drawing was the only thing I fancied, every one figured it was “a phase I was going through and would grow out of it”. It never happened.…
I never dreamed I would be an art student. I have never considered myself to be artistic, simply because I can not draw perfectly on paper. However, I have come to learn to appreciate that fact that art comes in all different forms, and with the right tools I do have the ability to create something truly beautiful. Designing Graphically has become my passion. I have already begun working in the field through other organizations at my school.…
Inadvertently I stumbled upon something that I would take for granted as a refuge. A refuge in which I could express myself, my emotions and transfer them into a visual reality. For once I did not acknowledge the presence of the crutches beside me. Hesitant at first then gradually getting more bold with each sweep of the hand, my depressed state faded away as color expanded across the canvas and replaced itself with one of hunger and awe. This was the day art pulled me by the arm me and forced me to expand its importance in my life.…
“For very young children, making art -- or just talking about it- provides opportunities to learn words for colors, shapes, and actions” (Lynch). It is vital for a child to learn the importance of art early in their life so that they can choose whether or not they will be dedicated to pursue a career involving art skills. Learning about these basic forms of art at an early age gives children more insight in preparation for their educational life. “Although some may regard art education as a luxury, simple creative activities are some of the building blocks of child development” (Lynch). Students involved in simple creative activities within their peers can affect their emotional status and gives a more comforting feeling being around others that have similar qualities of enjoyment.…
