Artwork by Kat

A Wish, a Dream, a Passion

I am someone who loves art but wasn’t given the talent for it. I grew up watching cartoons and reading books like every other kid and I guess that’s how I fell in love with art. I fell in love with how lines and colors can make the impossible possible. Since then it has been some sort of portal through which I can view and shape worlds that don’t exist anywhere else

Art is mainly a hobby that I’ve had ever since I was old enough to hold a pencil. I was never any good at it, but I loved it nonetheless.

Art is my sanctuary in times of despair and at times a source of my frustration. For one I struggle with translating what I see into a decent piece. I can’t capture any semblance of likeness, structure, or realism. I can’t even get proportion, gestures, and basic anatomy right.

In spite of these challenges I still want to be able to capture the world around me and to be able to bring my own inner world to life. I want to learn just about everything there is to learn about art. I can’t just pick one or a handful because there is a lot of wonderful things that art could offer.

In my opinion the Drawing Academy is a means to garner a deeper understanding of concepts in art. It’s sort of like the recipe that details the ingredients and procedure needed to create great art.

I want to win the course so that I can finally have access to a proper art education. Growing up I was taught languages, math, and sciences, but never art. Getting it would be a big deal since the course would give me access to resources that I could only dream of. I believe that getting this course would turn pieces like this, into something closer to what my mind’s eye can see.

I may not be as skilled or devoted as the other people out there but I do have a great desire to learn about art. Voting for me means helping me achieve my dream of doing better in something I’ve loved and will continue to love for the rest of my life. There are a lot of people who are deserving but not taking this chance would be something I’d regret. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
