Diy And Empower Yourself By Tapping Into Your Creativity

When I was younger, I started with making collages, and as I grew older and developed a better eye for shape and detail I started drawing with graphite, colored pencil, illustration markers, and pastel. About three years ago, I became really interested in painting, which is the main medium I use. I use art as a way to express myself and illustrate my best memories the way that I see them. Using specific color schemes and symbols to represent my best memories helps bring me right back to that place when I look back at piece that I’ve finished. Art is my way of remembering the best moments in my

I am also an artist. I started painting when I was five years old. Not only do I enjoy painting, but also sculpting and drawing. My artwork has been featured in the local newspapers, several art competitions and even the Florida State Fair. I have won several awards including monetary ones. You can view some of my art pieces at www.CherisAngels.com under the 'Cheri's Art Portfolio'

The reason i started painting and drawing in the first place is i found that i am truly happiest when creating. I thoroughly enjoy the struggle of drawing and painting scenes or ideas created through imagination. Creating art was never about money to me, it was about seeking happiness and a sense of purpose.

During my free time I love to dance and listen to music, but drawing and sculpting is what I love to do the most.

While these aforementioned interests represent my greatest contemporary influences, to truly understand exactly who I am today as an artist and designer I would not be amiss to speak for a moment on my childhood. Looking back, it is now quite obvious what my interests were, but in those critical years before college I definitely struggled to define those things. Further back, I recall that as a small child I adored coloring and creating

From as young as I can remember I have always been fascinated with bright colors and creating sculptural objects. I lived in a townhouse in North Little Rock with my parents up until second grade. My mother was a nurse and my father worked in a target warehouse. We had a decent amount of money but lived paycheck to paycheck at times. When my parents got a divorce I turned towards art to cope with my emotions but to feel free. I was very young when I started practicing art but could never put into words what it did for me until now.

Quilting is an artform that has been passed down through generations. The origins of quilting is still unknown to the public but it is known that it has been around for centuries. The art has traveled through sad and happy times in our world 's history, and it will continue to do that in the future. Quilting is defined as the joining together of layers of fabrics with lines stitching to form a bed cover, warm garment, or for decorative effect. Quilting has been pegged as being an older person 's activity or boring, but that simply is not true. More and more American children are being enrolled into sewing and quilting classes each year.

I would consider myself a creative person. Since I was a young child I have always been drawn to art of any kind because I love the visual component that it encompasses and how expressive it allows you to be. Along with art I am enthralled

I feel like the reason why I love drawing and writing is because it runs in my family and also because those were my only escapes when I was younger. When I was in middle school I would get bullied all the time and everyday. And when I had some time alone I would draw or write things about me. There was a time when I went through depression and I would have therapy with this lady. She would tell me that if I felt the need to harm myself or if i had anxiety I should draw on my body or write about how i'm feeling. This day I feel like i'm over the depression stage and i just draw and write whenever I have any small normal teenage problems. It helps as therapy to draw even though you don't think you know how to draw. It's always a good thing to express your feelings. Like I said my creative side is wild. And I learned that it's good to struggle and that life without problems would be boring. Some people do take problems to the max and that's how I feel like we as humans mess up. Talents come from within problems and people's emotions. Throughout time i've got better at drawing and writing that maybe i'll do something with that creativity and take it towards a

I express my creativity through stories. As a child, I read voraciously. My mind would travel through the universes made by the authors of Star Wars. Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, and Clive Cussler. In time, I developed a strong desire to create my own. I would come home from school to write stories from my imagination and end up with a ten-page tale. One of my favorite stories was about a boy who could control a special metallic substance and create objects with it. Within the story, he would fabricate weapons using his mind, altering its physical properties, like density and elasticity, to his every desire, using the alloy to appease his every dream. I spent months on that story, continually improving the plot and drawing pictures of the events.

Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia released a yearning for fashion that had been otherwise dead for decades, suppressed by the USSR’s official distrust of commercialism, luxury and indulgence, and curbed by the regime’s restrictions on imported Western goods, including clothing. Since the 1991 fall of the USSR and the transition from a centralized economy to a market economy, Russia has fast become one of the most substantial emerging markets for fashion in the globe.

When I was 7 years old, I became interested in art. I love to use my hand to make creative pieces of art, such as making jewelries by silk threads and pearl. My sister helps me to improve this skill by worn it. That was my first interested in art. After that I am still learning from my mother, the first thing is crocheting. I really enjoy doing it in my leisure time. The second thing I learned is how to sewing, my mother and I every Friday went to the fabric market to chose the high quality fabric.

I love doing anything that includes art or creativity. Baking, painting, and drawing are all things that I enjoy doing. Writing and speaking about things I really care and am passionate about are also things that I like doing.

Art has been an essential part of my life as long as I can remember. It started in preschool when we were allowed to choose our free time activity and every day you’d find me at the art table surrounded by crayons, markers, scissors and glue. As I grew older, art classes slowly disappeared from my day however art was still my passion. When I was in late elementary, my mom went back to school and she got a minor in visual arts. That is when art started to become a daily thing at home.

One of the three most significant events in my life that have shaped me in the way that I am is the memory of doing art with my family. Ever since I was little I remember playing with clay at my grandmother’s house. My aunts would also help shape my creative side by tracing Disney characters and showing me how to draw them. As long as I can remember I always had art with me. From the early days of preschool to now I have always gone the route of creating things.
