As the only child, of my mother, I often faced the problem of not having someone to play with forcing more creativity.

However, from time to time I do encounter “artist block” and the exhibitions held at the museum of fine arts at Florida State University could provide inspiration much like my environment here at Spelman
Ever since I was gifted a sketchbook for my sixth birthday, I developed a passion for drawing. Whether that was scribbling out random characters for my amateur comic strips or designing outfits for my pretend fashion show, I enjoyed every second of it. One day as I strolled through the career center at school, a particular dual enrollment course caught my eye. The class was encompassed around technical drawing and applying it to architecture and engineering graphics. Knowing I have been drawing since I was young and held an interest in architecture, I wanted to challenge myself by taking this class.
As an individual who’s been drawing and painting since before she could even hold a pen – apparently, I used to spill my grandma’s tea and make shapes with it – art has always been my favorite pastime.

A Personal Narrative About Drawing and Painting
In my lifetime, I always wanted to do something important with my art skills. Since I saw my father’s drawings, I always knew that I had his skill for drawing in some form or shape. Even if he wasn’t there during my childhood. When I was able to go on the internet, I knew the potential of showing my drawings off to the world. I received some success for showing my drawings on…
Whether it is poetry, drawing, or painting, I discovered the importance of self-expression. Being driven away from art, due to focusing on my studies at school, I felt deprived of my artistic side and was eager to create anything I could. I had so much to say and so many ideas to share, and finally I was able to be inspired and work with the beauty around me. This is when my love and appreciation for art took over. I would sit on the dock and pour my thoughts into my green leather notebook.…

Using specific color schemes and symbols to represent my best memories helps bring me right back to that place when I look back at piece that I’ve finished. Art is my way of remembering the best moments in my

I like that you stated that you don’t know where you stand in the art world. I can relate that I also don’t know where I stand too, and what would be my style of art is. But I do believe that through time and consistency of creating, we would be able to develop our own style of art through time. Sketching is very fundamental for an artist. I admire people that do know how to sketch people’s portraits with perfect proportions. I hopefully develop those skills in the future. Landscape art is fun, but detailing can be a bit troublesome. I tend to paint the atmosphere of my point of view. Then do details of what is close to me visually. I think that drawing still-life is one of the best types of drawing. I like and admire artists that do draw still-life drawings that can show a sense of realisticness within their drawings.
