Blog #5

I've always loved art, but I think it was around 9th grade that I became the most interested in it. I remember when I was little, I would bring little sketches of my "fashion designing" to show and tell, and clearly remember when one of my friends taught me how to draw landscapes, or grass in late day after school. I continued to go to art camps at my lower school art teacher's house, and throughout middle school, I also loved it. Once I got into high school though, I discovered my love for doodling. I researched all kinds of designs and cool drawings online, blogs, etc., and at first would draw them by looking at what others had done, but later discovered my own talents by creating my own pieces. Ever since then, I've loved to doodle, whether it's been at home when I'm bored, or at school during a class. It's also become an activity that I take part in, when I'm stressed out, or upset just because it takes my mind off of everything. As a senior, I attempted to take AP art, and I loved it, but it was extremely time consuming, and we were challenged to draw things that I didn't necessarily enjoy drawing. I love to draw any sort of design, or figures with lines or objects within it. For example, I painted an elephant on one of my friend's walls in her bedroom, and filled it in with all sorts of designs; it was a process, but I enjoyed it.
