I just graduated from high school and will be attending college next year. I am going to study neuroscience. My goal is to become an Eagle Scout. I chose to study neuroscience as I believe that kind of work is really gratifying. I work at a fast food restaurant. My mother loved art. My mother died when I was young. My dad raised me. My dad is not into art. I am looking forward to college. I hope to have some fun at school. My dad has helped me a lot. My Scout group has adopted a local park, which we clean up every summer. I like to give back to the community by doing something good. I find clean up and environmental projects rewarding. I usually have free time to do volunteer work, but this summer I am busy. I am preparing for college. This is my first time away from home, I am nervous but excited. I will be doing Premed in college. I get pleasure from helping others. I find the brain really interesting. I am not artistic.
I travel. Art is my passion. I am my own boss. I work in art. I help poor children make and sell art. I went to art school. I like to give back. I was inspired by a man from my neighborhood who painted. I am doing a wildlife project. I want to go on a safari. I like water colors. I use acrylics sometimes. My wildlife project is going well. We are planning to clean up the trash at a local lake. I am working on a watercolor painting of a spot near my clean-up project. I participate in a local wildfire cleanup project. I would like to go to art school part time. I would not try to get a degree in art, but I would love to learn more about it. I went to college already.
I loved your watercolor project, it was beautiful. Thank you for sending the picture. Thanks. I wasn't sure if I had captured the emotion right in the elephant's eye or not. There is a fine line between looking off into the distance and one of sadness. I think I had analyzed it so much that it looked like both. I was really impressed.  Sure I don't know an acrylic from an oil painting, but it looked like a real elephant to me!   I hope you come out for the big event. I am planning on having the mural done by then. It is for the Think Locally, Act Globally campaign. I am showing the lifecycle of an everyday product as its thrown away and the potential danger it poses to the environment on where it can end up. Oh that sounds wonderful!  I wouldn't miss that for anything.  I love it when you can use different mediums to express something like environmentalism.  It really gets people to think.  Have you started working on it already? I am about half way done but am having a mental block. I want to show how products tossed effect every area of the world but I am still trying to trace a realistic path to Antarctica but need to do more research I guess. Any ideas? What about something like this: giant plastic soda wrapper that appears to be dragging a big, melting glacier towards the coastal US?  That might show both dangers of the rising waters as well as man's direct involvement in it? I was focusing more on a realistic interpretation but that is very powerful. Perhaps that is my solution to incorporate both. Thanks! No problem, but I know you are the expert on all things art.  It's weird that when it comes to things like that I think very abstractly, but then I am very concrete with everything else.  Maybe there is a little bit of an artistic bone in my body? Absolutely. You should your hand at it. It is incredibly cathartic and would help you relieve some of that stress with how much you have on your plate. Maybe? Though you may have to stop me if you just seem sketching brains all the time! If it serves its purpose as an outlet than who cares! Perhaps you can incorporate it into your learning process as well for a memory retention aid. They say combining muscle memory with the mental reinforces it.
