Drawing Academy Art Competition

Artwork and story from Mia Dey

My name is Mia Dey, and art is not simply something I do, it is the way I explore life.

Since I was young, I have been fascinated by the mystery of being alive. Art became the language through which I could ask questions that words could never fully answer. Through painting, I try to capture moments that feel larger than themselves: the connection between people, the hidden emotions we carry, the wonder of consciousness, and the beauty that exists even in ordinary moments.

The Drawing Academy looks like a solid course with tutors who know the skills of craft, and that is why I would like to get this course. The best thing for me in this course is that I can receive critique on my art. My previous teachers could only tell me “well done” regardless how bad my drawings were. After checking the Drawing Academy articles with critique, I see that the teacher-student communication can be very different. Drawing Academy teachers are not afraid to tell what is wrong with students’ art and how to fix those mistakes. This is exactly what I need at this time – someone who can guide me on my mistakes and teach me how to avoid them.
