It is amazing how a small thing like a pre-teen book series about cats has impacted my life. Creative endeavors have always fascinated me. Cartoons, posters, photos, books, you name it. I was intrigued by the Japanese cartoons I saw on TV, with bright colors and fluid animations that pulled me in just as much as the storylines. As I searched for more animations and character art, I grew increasingly captivated and decided to create my own art, characters, and stories. I looked at illustrations that other fans made in awe, aspiring to be just as good as them. I practiced for hours on end, writing my own stories and sketching my own art, honing my skills in hopes of one day weaving my own tale for all to see. I draw and write to see the characters come to life. …show more content…
A book series that I was reading at the time inspired me; it described a feral cat society and the intricacies of their way of life. What I enjoyed most about the series was the detail that was put into the story. These concepts and niceties sparked my imagination, motivating me to brainstorm and write. My first cat drawings were inspired by vivid character descriptions in the books and online fan art of the book series. Eventually, I further developed my own style based on the cartoons I watched and other digital art. Slowly, as the years went on, my drawings evolved. As I got older, I got more serious about improving. On top of using references and practicing more often, I joined a community art class and Drawing I over the summer at the local university. On account of the extra education, the essence of my art has steadily been
My day started kind of rough, because I and my wife couldn’t agree to manage our diverse schedule. I was scheduled to meet with members of my class in downtown San Diego, and she was scheduled for her event at work. Ultimately, after a brief argument, we utilized two different vehicles heading the same direction. A conflict in timing was the cause of our disagreement. As a result, the day for me started chaotic resulting in no inner peace of mind. I didn’t sense no normal pattern of tranquility in my thoughts. I felt mentally exhausted, anguish and pain at the knowledge I that couldn’t be trusted to go to a museum on my own. I started my day with an attitude of frustration and anger. To make matters worse, I thought I was going to a place where historically I found peace and tranquility in my mind. I was always very fond of art, and believe artist today have the freedom to express themselves with whatever style and methodology they have in life. Contemporary artist have greater freedom and influence than artist in the past, because they can use their artistic works to persuade individuals and help them realize or understand they have psychological or emotional personal problems. I believe art can help identify and expose underlying emotional and personal issues that some would normally be reluctant to share openly. This is my own profound personal self-realization.
Thus, it is quite reasonable to suggest that art should be utilized to accomplish the
Focus, Capture, Develop, and Take another shot are hard concepts to grasp while growing up and maturing. Throughout every obstacle that I have faced whether personally, academically or socially I have had to remember to apply these qualities to my life daily. As a child the one person a girl naturally gravitates toward to be her protector and supporter is her father. I, on the other hand, did not have that experience with mine. My transition from childhood to adulthood began at the age of seven, when I was placed into an unfamiliar and chaotic situation. I had to learn how to capture the essence of life’s gifts in order to cope and thrive. My mom had decided that we would be moving to Texas from California, for a job opportunity she received
I spent most of my high school career depressed and anxious about everything. I was lost alone and some days it was it was hard to get out of bed. I was happier with my friends that was only a temporary satisfaction. I found myself through Art: writing, poetry, or short stories Art help me express myself. My art screamed more than I could have ever said. Art give me the confidence in the person I convey through right. Being creative lowered my anxiety and maybe feel like I could be myself.
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.
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,
“In a decaying society, art, if it is truthful, must also reflect decay. Moreover, unless it wants to break faith with its social function, art must show the world as changeable. And help to change it.” This quote by Ernst Fischer, a German composer, means that truth in art exposes the parts of society, and of life, that no one wants to see. In order for art to change society, it must first reflect the fears and failures of its people. The artist can change how people think of themselves and the world by using less conventional methods of creating art. The artist, in doing this, introduces new ideas of human placement in time and space, new frontiers of thought, that are furthered by the disciplines of science and philosophy. The artist works to introduces unique- and sometimes offensive- ideas so that society will be exposed to new ways of thinking and understanding the world. The artist does this through experimentation with color, style, and form. Therefore, the purpose of the artist should be to challenge how individuals perceive themselves and the offensive aspects of society reflected in art to bring about innovations in the greater society.
When I was younger I would write stories that had no plot towards them, contained random transitions between chapters, many spelling errors, and crazy punctuations. My stories may have contained multiple errors, but something they did contain was creativity. I remember sitting at my desk
Art classes throughout kindergarten and up to my junior year in college have taught me so much about expression, performance and making a statement. Learning and practicing art introduces a new way of processing information, and approaching problems. In my

I really love to draw and imagining my own little world. Watching many animations has influenced me a lot. I learnt how people made those animals speak, how those lifeless dolls become alive, and how another dimensions of mythical creatures can be created. Since then, I know that I wanted to do this for my whole life. It has inspired me to do something that I love as a career. Imagine that you are supporting your financial needs by doing something that you love. It has been my dream since a little kid to put my imagination to life.
I think about art often. My father is an artist as well as my sister. I grew up surrounded by art either in paintings, dance, or art performances I attended at my sister’s high school, the arts academy. My desire to create art must have a root in my childhood, where I was constantly involved in beautiful creations of the human
As young children we are visually literate a long time before we can read so images are the first stories we can comprehend. When we read a picture book, each turn of the page is a new change in scene, and a story is told without any words. Children’s Art makes a narrative more captivating and engaging for the audience. It delights and can inspire children, as well as educating and instructing them. It is a necessary factor in the foundation of our education and development. Throughout history, classic picture books have been passed down through generations with the narratives and visual imagery becoming a big part of our knowledge. Narrative art can provide a welcoming introduction to art and to museums for young children and in turn can create a lifelong fascination and appreciation for art. Children’s Art allows an artist to inform young minds and communicate with the youngest of viewers. Many artists throughout history to today communicate their ideas effectively in this way. One artist who is an example of this is E.H. Shepard who became known as the illustrator for A.A. Milne’s world of
The arts have influenced my life in amazing ways. Throughout my life, art has been the place I run to and my escape from the world. As I’ve grown older, art has become so much more than that. Every piece of art I create is a journey into my soul. It’s a priceless way to deal with my emotions and my struggles. I create art not only because I enjoy it and because I want to, but because I have to. Somewhere deep inside there is a driving force, urging me to put my heart down on paper. I become emotionally attached to each of my pieces because they are like dashes on the wall marking my growth. Each one is the solution to a problem I have dealt with and overcome.
Everybody; old and young have active an imagination, but we all express it differently than others. For me I express my imagination with my artwork. For example; when I was younger I watched a lot of cartoons just like any other kid. My favorite cartoon at the time was He-Man. I loved the show so much that I frequently dreamt and imagined of being strong like him, but I knew it could not be possible so instead of dreaming, I drew up an entire comic book of myself being a super strong super hero just like He-Man all thanks to my vivid imagination and artistic ability. I’m sure I’m not the only one who has done something similar.
