Still Life Drawing in Graphite
Artwork by Helen, Drawing Academy student
I have always loved art as a child until present. My father used to draw a little when I was younger, however, I can’t recall what his style was; just that he could draw and it was fun to watch him.
My first set of oil paints were purchased using S&H Green Stamps, used for redeeming for merchandise when I was about 15. Of course, I had no idea about what to do with them other than paint with them. I knew nothing about color mixing or theory. My brother and I were the school artists that were called upon to enter art competitions and paint the classroom windows for the holidays…

Imagination is Change
Artwork by Amanda Maillet

I began drawing as a hobby and considered getting a degree in art but wondered if it would be worth the amount of money. Instead, I stuck with science, but keep moving forward in drawing and painting mainly focusing on animals finding it would help with my studies. Science and art may not seem to fit together, but the best scientists were the ones willing to think outside the box…

Conquer the dream
Artwork by Raluca Vintilescu
Hello, everyone! My name is Raluca and I’m 18 years old.
Being here and telling my story revolves around my struggle to follow what I truly enjoy doing, creating art.
My interest in drawing developed a while ago, since I could properly hold a pencil. My grandmother showed me how to draw a cat and from then on, I would draw almost every day. My mom recalls moments where I would say “I haven’t drawn anything today” and get myself to work and draw something. I still have a lot of drawings to remind me of those days, where my father would glue my masterpieces to my bedroom door, so I would have a gallery of my own that kept changing often …
