visual art In my life
Visually, I can't truthfully say I value everything I see as art. I think it takes a big heart and an even bigger imagination to be able to look at anything and see beauty of art. But this is not meaning that I don't see anything at all as art. Like maybe everyone else, I love scenery and I do think it's art. Personally, I am a huge fan of moods and vibes that a painting or place can give, so simple things like driving at night or candles to me is visual art. I wish I could light candles in my room, but my mom thinks I'll forget and set the house on fire, so I have to settle with the light candles that aren't real candles at all. Though being serious and cliché at the same time, I think art is everywhere and I myself am lacking in valuing that and using it to make a beautiful piece.
inflUences
I have only a handful of influences when it comes to my art. Like before, I am Influenced by anything that creates a mood or vibe and to be descriptive it's a “moody” mood, is that makes any sense. Another influence on me is of course Tumblr. I'm on it every single day and I like following artist blogs that portrait very beautiful pieces. Those influence me to continue and making better art. Lastly, I think my friends, like Alice influence me as well. Just seeing her love for art pushes me to make better art and appreciate it more.
Experiences
My experiences sadly don't have to much belonging to my art. I wish I could say this really cool story where I, a seventeen year old girl who religiously watches Netflix and shamelessly buys cookie dough to not bake, but eat, overcame a slightly traumatic experience with a greater sense of wisdom and confidence, but ...no. I think I'm also very blessed to have never experienced any hardship that I couldn't handle. On a more serious note, I think having a reality check every once in awhile has contributed, especially now that I am taking my last art class in high school, has made me really think about my art, the quality, and my commitment.
