Where did art come from? (Short)
A very common question I get is “how did you start drawing?”
I realized I had artistic capabilities in middle school. The students were all asked to create a piece for the art show. My teacher gave us a few magazines to find a reference, and I found a picture of an owl in National Geographic. We worked on the pictures for two weeks. I would add detail after detail and suddenly the picture began to come alive. I stayed through lunch a few times to finish it.
Finally after two weeks my little owl was completed. I showed the piece to my teacher and she loved it so much she kept it. This morning, I received a message containing that picture (its posted below).
Every time I create something, I am surprised when it turns out so well. As an artist (for me), the details become the project and when you see the finished piece it’s a huge surprise. Your emotions become invested and they grow with each passing hour.
Finally, you stand back to check/admire your own work, partially in disbelief, because in front of your eyes (behold!) is a masterpiece.
Have a great day.
