Learning the Beauty of Art

Story and artwork from Aira

I am currently going into my last year of secondary school. I have abandoned the option of taking art class about a year ago. Which means I won’t have a GCSE in art. This leads me to not currently have a sketchbook portfolio for the traditional route of going to art school. It was a hard choice as I find art beautiful, and I love making art. I would love to have a future making art, I adore the idea of spending hours drawing and painting. But I have my reasons why.

I love drawing

Story and artwork from John D.

I have always wanted to draw. My first memories are full of graphite pencils, boxes of colored pencils and sketchbooks. When the time came to choose a major, I was set to begin my adult life immersed in fine art instruction. However, that was not to happen. With a family to support and warnings by most that artists always starve and so would my baby, I opted for computer science. That choice has served me well and therefore have always been able to support myself and family but unable to feed my soul with the artful desires of my childhood.
