What Does It Take?

Just because someone can draw and know what they are drawing does not mean they are born talented; because if that were true just about everyone would be born with knowledge. Obviously this is not the case because than school would not be necessary which in my opinion is crucial in getting better knowledge. In addition, just because someone can speak at birth that does not mean they can write what they are

Yet it takes piles of cliche, over-simplified sketches with only the extremely distinct aspects of your focus to clarify exactly what object you are drawing to finally begin to learn how to truly see what you are looking at. With practice (and an incredible, patient, encouraging art teacher) you learn how to separate what you know from what you are seeing. Starting with copying a signature you are taught to simply flip it over, transforming what you are recognizing in your mind as letters into unidentifiable lines. By doing this it becomes easier to learn how to separate what we know from what we are seeing and mutes the side of your brain telling you to draw what you know, allowing you to copy the shapes and curves of the line without being influenced by what your mind is telling you what you are seeing. By continuing to learn how to separate what you know from what you are seeing you become aware of every little shape, line, and shadow, allowing you to move away from cliches and learn how to draw what is truly in front of

An artist needs knowledge to create great art because it helps them understand the meaning of art and what they are trying to draw. Although, people believe some artists make art without having much background knowledge, knowledge helps with their true understanding of art. In Letters to a Young Artist Anna Deavere Smith states, “Well, I believe that fundamental to becoming an artist is understanding the position… It is from that position that you will

Nevertheless these bright kids have so many options open to them that they are as likely to become surgeons, scientists, economists, writers, whatever, as they are to become visual artist. I’ve found that it’s often the kids who have only a few gifts or especially the ones who have one big gift- the visual one, who play to their strengths and become artists. (Wilson, 2005 p. 24)

This is the same in basketball. If you want to do something on the court but don't have the ability to do it, then there was no point in thinking about it in the first place. No matter how unique you art is, if you don't have the skills to illustrate it, your art is worthless. This is why no matter how you want to play, you need to have the skills to play that

When you learn to draw, soon you realize: the big part of this art is just craftsmanship and technique. When you're expert in the basic methods, your creativity can rely on this foundations. This leaves you more freedom for developing your drawing skills and imagination rather than focusing on applying the basic methods decently.

In the class Drawing 101: Composition and Media, I have learned new skills that relate to my major, interior design. Drawing 101 has taught me numerous techniques of fine art. These techniques are what determine artists and designers to be professionally trained. By being professionally trained, clients have a higher likelihood to hire a certain artist or designer. This is due to the fact that the designer knows a greater amount of information for the job. In this class I have learned how to gesture draw, accurately draw proportion, and draw in three-point perspective.

I started drawing every day, with my blue pen, then my number two pencil, now a digital drawing tablet. Because of this, I have taken plenty of A4 papers from my printer at home. Among these drawings, I started to feel interested to drawing. Ever since then, I never stopped. During classes, my friends often waited for video games after school, but not me. Sometimes I felt odd about myself, I would be so excited to draw after school. My parents have never stop me from drawing, though they said artists cannot make money before

I always knew I wanted to be artist ever since I was that little girl with an overactive imagination. If my Grandma only knew, that one Disney princess drawing book would influence me so much. I still remember feeling those crisps papers and staring at those colorful drawings for hours.The detailed directions of creating these beautiful princess open something inside of me. My Grandma buying that drawing book that day, inspired me to draw. The coloring book wasn’t enough to satisfy this urge of creativity. Soon the world become my model as began to realize the tiny details that were hidden that other kids seem unable to draw. All I wanted to do after that simple magical moment was draw for a career and do something with this talent. That's

From drawing m&ms in ms paint with my dad in between deployments to sketching the forest covered mountains on long car trips through Panama art has been an important escape for me. I used my craft to understand my emotions, define my identity, and was something that I took pride in. Until that day my art was a way of interpreting the world around me, but hearing as only parent I had disprove of my craft,

Ever since I was a small child, I’ve been good at art. It started out as rough crayon drawings my mom plastered on the fridge like any other fridge but I kept going at it. During dinner, I would be drawing. On all my grade school homework, I would be drawing. While I was supposed to be going to sleep, I would be drawing. In every possible scenario I would just end up with a writing utensil in my hand and go at it. This from a very young age, ended up to be an outlet of hyperactivity for my ADHD, letting me focus in on other responsibilities I needed to take care of.

In school, students (and I) are assigned to produce many illustrations or hand-drawn pictures. Mainly, I generate them for projects, but few teachers have us draw pictures for most assignments. E.g., I draw for history timelines, science labs, most ELA assignments, etc. I personally relish making illustrations, for I have extra creativity also, to my mind, drawing is a considerable hobby. It’s also nice to show-off to friends and classmates of how ‘amazing’ I can draw. Considering no one else is strong or decent at art, why not outshine them?

As time goes by, however, the artist you're working with will offer you more and more responsibilities and will teach you methods and techniques that will get you on your way.

The author wants to let the spectators know that without trial and error they’ll never learn off of their mistakes. That the artist needs to practice their position and understand which avenue they want to take their career. In the excerpt “ Letters to a Young Artist” it states, “Well, I believe that fundamental to becoming an artist is understanding the position of an artist, rehearsing that position, and practicing the position.” Other people might say that to create great art work you need empathy and knowledge but it clearly is that you need to be born with it. To sum up, an artist needs to fail and learn off of their mistakes in order to reach there

If someone wants to create great art, then an artist needs knowledge. Knowledge is critical considering that it is part of becoming an artist is knowing and understanding the position of an artist. Others may claim that a person need to go to college to understand the position of a great artist, but that person need to understand the position to become a great artist. In the text “ Letters to a Young Artist,” it mentioned that, “I believe that fundamental to becoming an artist is understanding the position of an artist,
