Following My Dreams

Hey there readers!

So as you can see in my last post, I finished another piece! This one was totally different than anything I have ever done before. I am so used to having the control on my art so it was weird for me to put the control into the heat from the blow dryer. This project was so much fun to do and I absolutely love the way it turned out. I have loved experimenting with new materials and techniques. There is no better feeling than when I am focused on a project with music blaring in the background. It's such an easy and calming way for me to express myself. Looking at the art I have created so far, I would have never imagined being able to do anything like this.

The goal I set when starting off with this exploration was to be able to advance enough to start taking 2D art as a senior next year. This week I showed my portfolio to my teacher and I GOT IN! I could not be more excited and thrilled for next year. Looking back before I started this project, I remember hating my schedule and dreading going into. I have now changed my entire schedule to be able to follow a path of my dreams rather than the path I felt I had to take. Making this step was a huge accomplishment for me. I have always been such a planned out person that the changes have been really life changing but in such an incredible way. I will be able to continue this project for the rest of my life.
