Art has always
been my comfort zone. It allows me to express my feelings and ideas visually.
Growing up, I’ve always enjoyed art and crafts and any type of hands-on
designing. I loved cutting out pictures and letters from magazines, then gluing
them together with photographs to make photo collages. I spent a lot of time
making photo slideshows on my computer, with a new picture popping in or
sliding out to the beat of the background music. I also enjoyed playing a game
on my Nintendo DSi that allowed me to draw short stop motion
animations. Unsurprisingly, some of my favorite classes in high school
were drafting and woodworking. In drafting class, I learned to create 3D models
on the computer using a program called AutoCAD. In woodworking class, I utilized
the various tools to cut and shape pieces of wood to make coin banks and a jewelry box. I guess the thing that really
draws me in to art is that there is no right or wrong, and artists are free to
express their creativity.
Some of my
biggest sources of inspiration come from Youtube. I am especially drawn to
Youtube videos that are comedy-based because I think that comedy connects
people; you have to be able to understand a joke in order to find it funny, and
who wouldn’t like a good laugh. I find that sometimes the humor in a video is
not solely what is being said, but the editing and video effects also play a
big role. Therefore, I would like to focus more on video editing, and play around
with different video effects to see how that can enhance the overall mood of
the video. I hope that I would be able to teach, entertain, and inspire others
with my work.
