Marlana Williams English Throughout my life, I have loved to draw. Due to my love of drawing, I decided to take a career in something that has to do with art. A few things have happened in my life that has caused me to take this path. Three people that I have interacted in some way, are the reason for my choices. My cousin was the reason I started drawing in the first place. I was only five or six years old at the time, but when I entered his room, he was sitting at his desk drawing on a sheet of paper. I watched from over his shoulder as he slowly drew the lines of the picture. I watched in amazement as the lines came together in the form of a dragon. I was shocked and curious as to how he was able to draw something so cool. When I asked,
I’m a visual learner. To start off, I learn best by reading and seeing pictures, to do this i need to sit up in front of the classroom, during tests, I don´t get distracted easy. Next, I will use flashcards to learn new words and i will try to visualize things as I hear people read to me. Also, most of the times I like to read myself and picture and imagine things in the book. As a result, I know my style and I can become a better and smarter
The artist guides the brush in a thin, black streak along the canvas, outlining the woman’s wrinkled forehead. As the color begins to fade, she swipes her paintbrush through a container of white paint. She looks shockingly at what she has done once the paintbrush has been lifted back to the line she had painted moments before. Looking down at her paints, she sees a splotch of gray that sits in the center of the white, only to be swallowed by the simple, pristine color. Her paints had been ruined. Or had they?
From an early age I have always had a strong interest in art, and have been involved with it in some form all through my life. In year nine I realized that it was something that I might like to pursue as a career, I started taking it more seriously. The Chase's art department encouraged me very well and helped me develop my art skills.
I have realized the value of how much happiness can come from a piece of paper and a pencil. My childhood nanny has had a great influence on my love of fine arts. The moment that I pick up a paintbrush, my sense of time vanishes. I have won best in show for the 3-D art category with a native american vase I made my freshman year. Other school art awards have also been won for paintings and drawings throughout middle school.
Reading and writing has always played a vital part in my life. From toddler to adult, pre-elementary to college, I’ve managed to sharpen both skills to my liking. However, even though it significantly helped, schooling was not what influenced me to continue developing those skills into talent. Many different things shaped and influenced my learning, and now reading and writing have become the safety net of my life. I know that even if I have nothing else in the future, I’ll still have my talent and knowledge. To ensure my success, I hope to further develop those skills so that I may fulfill my wishes.
Once I heard the news that they were home from Alaska I race up the stairs and bulleted to the front door like a was or race horse or something. It was my grandparents and my brothers in a black car rolling up our driveway. Once they got out of the car they got bombarded with questions like “How was the trip,” “What did your guys all do,” and of course my little sister asking “did you guys get me anything.” I was kinda glad she asked that because I didn’t want to be the one that did that. Of course they answered “you’ll have to wait and see.” Once they got all of their stuff in the house I went to talk with my brothers, but I instantly got called up to the living room. Once I got up there my grandma said that my brother
I have dabbled in photography for the sake of personal aesthetic for a few years. I own my own camera, and I believe I know enough about shutter speeds, ISO, and aperture to take a decent photo. I haven't taken many photos over the past couple months, but it would not be hard to pick it back up and begin shooting
I could really do I would only give her a reason to feel good about herself or make myself feel humiliated in front of everyone. I couldn’t say anything because it would only be and Let's go back a few years coming into a new chapter of the book, you know the transition from Middle School to High School. I was nothing but a full time student who thought she one day would become a English teacher. I loved the long, chilly nights of procrastination trying to get homework done. Suddenly it turned around completely, a few weeks into the class my first essay of the year was right around the corner. I think we all know how that turns out probably with a big fat zero, but for me it was different since writing had always played a large part to my life. The most important element in my developing
My relationship with writing has been an adventure having both its highs and lows—it has been complex. Yet through it all, I have been excited to learn, expand my vocabulary, learn new styles, and contribute to the ever-growing collection of literary work so that someone one day would benefit from my writing.
Camera focuses on the grass, progresses towards the stairs, and zooms in on the welcome sign with the words “The Museum of Art.” Once in the museum, different angle shots of the diamond in its glass case are taken.
I’ve been told that I have many talents. Well, I am aware of that, but I know for sure the one skill that is above all: Drawing. It is the skill I have most experience in and have been known for throughout years in school. In elementary, teachers would always point out to my mom on how artistically skilled I am. I remember the moment when I knew that my passion would, for sure, be drawing. I wanted to draw a Pokémon from an old card and I remember I attempted at it and I showed it to my dad. Because he can draw too, he tried fixing the drawing for me and I understood his corrections and took note. I knew then that I wanted to learn how to draw passionately. In 4th grade, I would always draw characters on a notebook with lined paper. I never
The genres I consider myself most literate in is art. I would consider myself literate in art because it is the genre that I am completely and utterly in love with in life. My obsession with art started in the ninth grade after I completed a drawing for a project. After getting praised for my drawing I started to recognize that I was actually talented. This lead me to enroll myself in art classes in my high school. In taking these classes I started to fall more in love with every aspect of 2D art. My love of art traveled with me into every aspect of my life. In high school, my life became even more stressed and completed than ever before. To deal with these newfound stressors I turned to art which became my one escape from daily life. When
My work extends beyond the pen, pencil and pad. Teaching creates for me an intellectual nirvana- a place where a beaming five-year old inspires me as much as any writer ever would. In teaching free writing classes for homeless youth, I saw timid students grow into confident communicator. These kids, who had never taken formal writing lessons, stunned themselves with their own abilities to create sparkling diamonds and seas. But my biggest smile surfaced when my students requested to auction their composition and feed more hungry children like themselves. Already using truth within linguistics for its highest purpose: service to the world.
“I’ve got life, I’ve got love, I’ve got faith and that’s enough. We feel sorrow, we feel pain, but there’s sunshine after rain. So I’m alright.”
I love reading. It’s something I do every day and it makes me happy. Reading is a way for me to get away from whatever is going on in my life that I want to escape from. My love for reading hasn’t always been here. I was never one of those kids who started reading straight from the womb and it was a challenge for me. When I was young I never thought that I would enjoy reading but luckily that idea changed.
