Kogut, M

I chose the work that I submitted because I felt that it reflected my abilities the best. The work I selected shows the best amount of details that I could do at that time. Also, they are pieces that I worked very hard on and sometimes got frustrated with but tried my best to finish them while still capturing all the right details. When people view my work I hope they will be inspired. I wasn’t as good at drawing when I started art like how many other kids are, but I learned and got better with each piece. I am hoping that people will be able to see that and do the same instead of give up because they think they can’t do it. Many people give up because art can be really hard and some just don’t want to concentrate on all the details. However, after working hard and trying to really concentrate on the piece of work a person will feel very accomplished. I hope people will see the hard work in my artwork and know that I felt accomplished when I finally finished and will hopefully try to do the same. Art plays an important part in my life. To me, art is a way to express myself. Also, it is a way to clear my mind from everything else in the world. Art isn’t like a normal class with a lot of homework and reading books. This allows me to stop being stressed. However, art still involves a lot of concentration, but it is a good concentration. Art also gives me a sense of accomplishment. I like knowing that I worked hard on a piece and did as well as I could to make it look good. I also like the fact that art leaves a lot of room for improvement. You can never be completely good at art. There is always something more to learn. I like to see myself improve and know that I can still do better. This make art never be dull and boring. There are many things you can do with art. I like the variety there is and all the new opportunities there is to try something new. ||
