Help! Nothing much has happened in my life - no illness, deaths etc. I live in an extremely small town where things really never change.
Transforming a blank page into a beautiful work of art allows me to express my hopes, personality, and ideas in a more eloquent expression than my soft voice could carry. My voice made teachers shout to speak up, attracted bullies' cruel jokes, and turned oral presentations into public embarrassments. I lost myself as my fears suffocated my passions for writing and drawing. Art untangled these chains and provided me with encouragement that I was talented and unique. Over the summer prior to my senior year, my artistic expedition ranged from crafting portraits of Beyoncï to Ashley Olsen.
The first drawing I created was a pop-inspired depiction of R&B songstress, Beyoncï, but it almost ended in disaster. The dark browns and warm tans that formed the shadows of her face made the singer appear like Frankenstein monster with a mask full of dark blotches. I resisted the urge to tear my work in progress in two. By fixing my drawing instead of raising the white flag of surrender, I learned that determination and patience leads to surprising success. My passion for creativity was reignited. My focus turned from worrying to improving my artistic abilities. I sketched my favorite character from All the King's Men, Sadie Burke, which honed my belief in myself. I experimented with various styles. I drew a funk-art inspired design depicting video-game heroines, Rikku and Yuna, to convey a theme of resistance to change. My picture of Ashley Olsen was inspired by the bright colors of Andy Warhol's art. The long hours I spent carefully composed sketches and used markers with eye-catching colors motivated me. The pop art piece was my first work that I appreciated with pride and happiness. I broke out of my shell and even ventured into the unexplored land of pastels. While expecting failure, my first time with the chalky pigments resulted in a wonderful depiction of a beautiful flower that formed a woman's head. During the summer, sketching formed from colored pencils vanquished my doubts and markers and a new brave attitude rose from the powders of the pastels.
My journey into art over the summer helped me regain my confidence. I am more creative, crafting ideas for imaginative drawings and stories. My recent boost in self-esteem prompted me to submit a drawing of Miley Cyrus for the section of the yearbook centering on events occurring in the past ten years. In the future, I am going to channel my energy into more outlets like writing a novel and branching out into photography.
