Grabbing a pencil and a sketchbook, I began to wonder who I really am and what I as a unique person could bring to the table. This is one of the most fundamental and yet one of the tricky questions to answer. To decipher the intricate details about myself, I let the pencil render my thoughts, feelings, joyful, and stressful experiences into a silhouette of figures and illustrations, flashing my life before me. Upon reflection, I realize that although my unique culture and immigration experience have certainly shaped the person who I am and can certainly aid in the diversity of Mayo Clinic School of medicine; however, my passion for drawing would contribute the most. Drawing was not always fun for me nor I had any passion for it until I experienced one of the tough days of my life, financial difficulties during high school. It was during high school that I would save my school breakfast and lunch so that my family and I could have something to eat during dinner. To cope with the emotional turmoil of these difficulties, I found drawing to be integral …show more content…
For instance, during my immunology lab course, students were asked to present information regarding epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment of various diseases. I saw many students giving a wonderful presentation of the information and yet, it all seemed to be just plain information without any context. Consequently, when it was time for my group presentation, I discussed with my group members the need to appreciate disease in terms of patient’s story and social background, and how these could shed a new light on physician’s diagnosis and treatment. The presentation ended up being incredibly different than other presentations, and my lab instructor complimented me by saying, “This was the first time any student has thought about presenting the information in this
Creativity and imagination are undoubtedly at the top of the life. This trait is helpful as when doing projects in class and beyond that require creativity, I feel right at home. Recently in English class, we had to complete a project on allusions and their specific meanings. I found this to be quite intriguing because I was able to decorate the project and made it personal to me. This will help me in maintaining independence because when I get to college or eventually enter the workforce, I will more than likely have to do certain projects which require my creativity. Additionally, I enjoy creating art, learning more about it, and to make things that I feel express who I am as a person. Last year, I finally got to be in an actual art class; moreover, I got to create art about what I wanted and not do it for something or someone else. I know that this will help me in life, because if I’m doing something for me and not for someone else, I will feel more passionate about it which will help further my
From an early age I have always had a strong interest in art, and have been involved with it in some form all through my life. In year nine I realized that it was something that I might like to pursue as a career, I started taking it more seriously. The Chase's art department encouraged me very well and helped me develop my art skills.
and I had to learn to overcome these challenges that I wouldn’t have to do when drawing. Continuing to take ceramics in high school I had paired it with drawing and painting. Drawing and painting was a big class of mine I enjoy so much and I have learned so many different techniques and strengthens that I couldn’t possible of learned on my
My favorite thing to do is to color and draw. I love to color. Coloring pages from the internet, and at times I will draw bubble letters and color those.
Slowly, as the years went on, my drawings evolved. As I got older, I got more serious about improving. On top of using references and practicing more often, I joined a community art class and Drawing I over the summer at the local university. On account of the extra education, the essence of my art has steadily been
I have to try to be successful and hope luck hits me later; that is what I did in 1st grade. Watching Mrs. Gout, my first grade teacher, draw symmetrical gold coins and descriptive tigers, I stared down on my blank piece of paper. My hands moved as if it has a mind of its own, swirling and etching lines with striking similarity to Mrs. Gout’s own picture. Using every colors from the rainbow, I created a portraits Mrs. Gout could not get her eyes off of. Like a leprechaun who follows the rainbow to his pot of gold, I won myself a free ticket to IUPUI art summer camp.
Art has always been a part of my life. There is not a book, or notepad, in my home that does not have a plethora of drawings scattered throughout it. However, it was not until ninth grade that I enrolled in any formal art classes and experienced just how truly taken with art I was. My teacher was quick to push me to discover and sharpen my skills, allowing my love and dedication towards art to blossom even further. What draws you to art?
Passion! Passion is what drives me to wake up every morning and experience a new day. It is the quench to my thirst and my reason for living. I have a passion for learning and sharing knowledge, that I know not where it comes from, but I know that it has saved me from my own destruction and allowed me to keep my sanity. May you ask who I am?
One of my earliest recognizable memories occurred in second grade when I opened up my first history book. From that point on, I was so enamored by what I learned that when I got home, I taught my parents everything I learned in precise detail. As I got older, instead of going home and teaching my parents what I learned, I switched roles and began helping fellow students to better understand what we learned that day. When everyone began to say that I would be a good teacher, I resisted and hence went on to receive multiple degrees in Criminal Justice. Towards the end of my undergraduate career however, I enrolled in the class History through Film taught by Professor Daily.
Are you bored, well drawing is the cure for that! My representation is that I believe drawing when you are bored is the best option. To begin, it gets rid of stress and makes you less bored. Other sensibilities are that drawing will make you get more practice in drawing, and will raise your creativity. Finally, you are able to draw whatever you would like. When you have lots of free time and are really bored - you could get out a sketchbook and doodle.
When I was a little girl, I loved to draw. I spent my days going on adventures with my dolls and then doodling the scenarios down on paper. Drawing was amusing and it brought me true pleasure and up to age eleven, I was determined to become an artist when I grew up. One day, while I was sprawled out on the floor doodling, I mentioned my ambition to my mother. There was a moment of silence, and I stoppe...
The arts have influenced my life in amazing ways. Throughout my life, art has been the place I run to and my escape from the world. As I’ve grown older, art has become so much more than that. Every piece of art I create is a journey into my soul. It’s a priceless way to deal with my emotions and my struggles. I create art not only because I enjoy it and because I want to, but because I have to. Somewhere deep inside there is a driving force, urging me to put my heart down on paper. I become emotionally attached to each of my pieces because they are like dashes on the wall marking my growth. Each one is the solution to a problem I have dealt with and overcome.
I have always been a fan of the arts. Drawing, painting, and sculpting are some of the hobbies that I have partaken in from elementary school all the way up to my senior year of high school. Creating new works of art and bringing the ideas in my head to life are some of the greatest moments I have had as a student. Art has always been one of my passions; however, I had never stretched my knowledge of the arts by trying new hobbies. I also never thought that I would fall in love with a hobby that I just started in. This new activity was photography, and it was my new passion.
Many artists say that they were born to do art, that it was always in their blood and that they cannot remember a time that art was not a part of their lives. For me, this was exactly the opposite. I was always trying to do my best in science and mathematics and art was not even on my radar until I was a freshman in high school where I met my first inspiration for art, Zack Smithey. I was lucky enough to have Mr. Smithey as a guide for the start of my art career all four years in high school and he really pushed me to develop my portrait work. He helped me develop the foundation of my artwork, but at that point I was merely duplicating what I was seen and really had not developed an aesthetic of my own. For me, art was a challenge for me to
I started sketching and painting when I was about 12. I started liking what I was seeing and thats what gave me the idea that I wanted to be an artist. Of course there were many step...
