Create Yourself.

Oh how excited I am becoming!


For what you may ask? Next year! From what I recall I don't think I mentioned my artistic side. I might have, but I don't remember at this moment! Not only am I interested in Photography but I am also interested in drawing and painting. It was a talent that I received from my grandpa Buck, (his name is actually Charles but ever since I was a baby I called him Buck!) Ever since I was in public school I was a very talented drawer. Art was my favourite subject and I came up with great drawings! Heck I even had some of my class mates ask me to do some of there drawings for them! But pretty much all my life I've had a talent and interest with drawing.


Public school was when my grandpa began to teach me how to paint. We would sit in his kitchen and he would teach me how to do brush strokes, and how to mix the paint on the palette, how to properly clean my brushes, how to do specific features and pretty much anything I needed to know and wanted to know. He used to paint every day with his oil paint, beautiful landscapes. I now have his oil paint that he gave to me to use for my paintings. But I don't think I would be where I am today with my drawings without his guidance.

This is my grandpa Buck. :)

That being said, the high school that I attend is known for the arts, and they have an Art Program, which is what I am going to be a part of next year! At least I hope so! The Art Program is not just something you can sign up for and join. You need to attend an interview with a portfolio to get accepted. My portfolio consists of three paintings, two drawings and five photo's. This way they can see my three talents!

This is a painting that was in the Art Show last year.

There is so much detail put into it! Amazing.

Technically, this is my graduating year. I could be going to college next year to get started on my career path. But I chose to do a victory lap to join this program. I thought it would be a good experience, and look good when applying to college for Photography. It will show that I am interested in the arts and have experience with photography seeing as the Art Program isn't just about drawing and painting, it's about photography too! With hands on experience and getting to know more about the camera and photo taking, I think it would be a great thing to experience before heading into college!


The next portfolio interview is on February 3rd, and i'm ready! :)
