When I was six years old, my best friend's parents
were artists. Her mom started to teach drawing and water
color at her home. My mom wanted me to join in the art
group even though I wasnʼt really interested. Anyway,
I started to go to art class. I thought my classmates
were so good and they could draw anything they wanted,
but I couldn't draw like anyone else. So I quit going
to the art class. And what happened to me is I started
drawing again a year ago. I took the art class in my
high school, it was very interesting.Now I realize that
even if people think that they are not good in some
subjects, they don't have to give up, because they might
recognize that they could be interested in their worst
subjects if they try to work hard.
My art teacher in my high school, introduced the summer
program at MoMa for contemporary art. I usually want
to draw, but I thought it would be really good for me
to work art hard. I didnʼt really know about the contemporary
arts, the first project was taking the pictures for
my theme which was ʻfearʼ. I took many pictures nearby
my home.I could actually discover how my neighborhood
looks. It was a pretty good experience. It didn't only
look fearful. It also looked peaceful, too. But I had
to follow the original theme, ʻfearʼ. After I took many
pictures about fear, I painted the background of my
board. I chose pink for the background, and I also wanted
to paint black, too. So I zigzag with black paint. I
liked that pretty much. And I cut the pictures by my
hands, then I stuck them. I scratched a lot because
I wanted it to look like fear. After I finished my art
piece, I realized that I could do painting, taking photos,
and organize pictures on my board. It was really interesting.
