| Unit 5, Lesson 4, Ex. 3a
Why Did You Choose To Become An Artist? I didn't choose art. Art chose me. It's just something that I find myself doing, without even thinking about it. I can, have, and often do, find myself with a drawing nearly finished before I realize I've even picked up a pen at all. What Training Did You Have? uhm... none. I started drawing before I could read and write. I had already written and illustrated my first book at the age of 3, two years before starting school. My school time was limited to three years, from the time I was 5 to 8 years old. In K-5 I sat through their baby classes bored out of my mind, because I had already been reading and writing for two years, while the rest of the class was still learning their ABCs. The only lessons I took any interest in was art class and theater. At age 9 I did not return to school, opting instead to teach myself via high school and college texts. My mom was a dressmaker, and by age 6 I’d been drawing, designing, and sewing my cloth doll’s wardrobe. At age 12 I drew, designed, and sewed my first party dress. At age 14 I enrolled in a college course in fashion design and dressmaking, graduating 2 years later at age 16. From that point on, a large majority of my art career was devoted to fashion and costumes. My aim then was to recreate in complete historical accuracy every costume throughout history. Yes, I know, when I dream big, I dream big. When Did You Start Creating Art For Gift Items? I was about 25 years old, when I bought a book on painting art for greeting cards. I'm not sure why I bought it, it was just there and I saw it there, and bought it. Before I finished the book I had been drawing art designed specifically for greeting cards. Where Do You Get Your Ideas? I live on a farm. I own and run The Pidgie Fund, a shelter that rescues feral cats and pit-fighter cocks (roosters). My home is currently the home of 13 formally stray no-longer feral cats, and 60+ now tame and peaceful roosters, and one 13 year old dog who loves all his cats and birds. In my lifetime I have owned more than 500 pets, all of those pets have sat for portraits to be drawn or painted. About 90% of the art I sell on CafePress and Zazzle, are pictures of my own pets. жүктеу/скачать 234 Kb. Достарыңызбен бөлісу:
