Things that inspire me to create something that I want to make an impact on and a signature piece of my own. Seeing my creation might be an inspiration to others. Art is everywhere. 

​

I started to have an interest in drawing and painting when I was in first grade. I like everything related to color, the particular reason for this was color is the thing that caught my eye. I started painting and mixing colors. Talking about drawing, at first, I couldn't draw anything except stick man and basic shapes. I watch a lot of video games on the internet and see that the game characters have been designed through drawing. I started practicing drawing humans on my own. My Vietnamese school art class had some limited resources; only provided painting and simple drawing repeats until grade 7 when I felt bored. The art class in my Vietnamese school feels like the subject is just a decoration in the report. Until I transferred to an international school, I saw art classes had different when many artists' styles, painting, drawing, and even 3-D sculpture. I took this opportunity and study art from grade 9 until now. I took an AP art class when I was studying abroad in high school, and I achieved it.

​

The person that I inspired more than the subjects themselves was my old art teacher, Ms. Lavdender, who guided me and courage to join the art path because of my talent and opportunity. She motivated me to explore more mediums, materials, and styles combined with my creative ideas to produce a signature piece. She never lets us fail. The reason is " Failure is the mother of success". I never feel ashamed about myself and see mistakes as a learning to improve.

Art helps me relax and learn new styles and material without doing exams to memorize the information. This year,  I did 3-D sculpture and ceramics. I learned how to build a structure made out of wooden sticks, and cardboard; and make a bird from wire, clay, and Styrofoam with cotton. I also learned about the concept of 2-D Art. All of this motivated me to improve myself.

Throughout the years, I have non-stop researching ideas and contexts for my artwork. My goal is I want to become an artist in fashion and design in-game characters with a lot of creative ideas. I study different mediums to understand how to use them. My style was about realistic but still limited. I saw myself improving, and I will not stop until I feel satisfied.
