Art Corner #2

My art teacher told the class to draw a picture showing perspective. So I decided to search up pictures of on Google for some ideas. I know my teacher is expecting some type of perspective that you haven't learned about. So I asked her and she told not just me but to the class that we could have done birds-eyes view or a view where a person is looking up at the sky. It probably took me 3 full 45-55 minutes classes to find a picture and change the picture as much as possible so my teacher wouldn't call me out for plagiarism. As the final report, I have credited the picture I have taken from google, so she at least knows that I didn't take something and claim it as mine. When my teacher came to talk to me about this picture as a final product of my portfolio, she told me that she sees this as an art piece you see at any bus or train station. When I heard that from her, I have finally reached the point in my life where I feel accomplished about my artwork and hope that I can share my art with the rest of the world. I finally got accepted into a school where I can finally pursue my own passion as becoming a graphic designer. When I was asked for the interview at this school, I brought this exact artwork to show them that and they have asked me how I was going to do that and if I would add any color because they have told me "Once I put this piece on the wall people won't be able to see what it is", so I told them I will think about it and hopefully I will come up with a great idea! So I hope those who are reading this liked the picture I drew!

So, I know I didn't post anything for the month of October, but I am willing to make up for it as much as I can for this month of November! So to begin the month of November, I have decided to why not share to the world my art. I am passionate about it and haven't given up on this and will not until the day is over. For this week's art piece, I have chosen this artwork as shown above. My art teacher have told the class to all choose an emotion and then write a statement about what you have drawn. So I gave it a deep thought about the emotion I wanted to draw and I chose the feeling of being bullied. So here is my statement: I chose the emotion of getting/ being bullied because it shows the inner feelings I have been bottling up and not being able to neither show nor express it. Most would consider me as a try hard because I end up getting cocky and all worked up even though I end up not getting the good results or the grades I expected to get as an end result. Once I act tough in front of others, they all end up making fun of me and start to bother me and that is when my anger softens up and slowly tears up. I would usually get bullied for always being a crybaby but mainly in elementary school. Everyone would think it was funny to make fun of me because I had a really sensitive personality during my elementary and middle school years. People nowadays would call me a failure instead of a crybaby since calling me that name was more for the early stages of my life. Another thing that bothers me the most is the fact that I am now more serious than I was during those years because the person I used to be was someone who wouldn’t really take things seriously and would smile and laugh at the most randomness moment for reasons like embarrassment or a way of me showing other that I am bragging about something. I still smile and laugh at random but not as much as I use to back in the days. The biggest reason anyone would be getting picked on for is racism. Everyone once in his or her lifetime has been discriminated against and mainly to those who are Asian as one of the common one on this day and still going to be disapproved throughout the next few decades. Asian is one of the most common races that get discriminated for because they were immigrants and slaves from the past and of course one of the worlds “Super Powers.” Any individual would say that China is the only Asian country in the world, which is false because it isn’t. I can even say that my family is mainly from Vietnam but they all learned how to speak Chinese as one of their official languages.
