I can't believe it was the last day of our ARTAPRE class today. It was indeed short-lived but I'd be lying if I said I didn't pick up at thing or two from this class. It's changed a lot in me especially about the way I view the world, along with certain other things.
For one thing, I've started staying behind to see the credits in movies. I realized that the people working behind the scenes deserve an audience too.
I've started drawing again. I took Art classes as a child and just didn't do very well sketching and all. But I enjoy drawing abstract designs. My friends come up to me sometimes asking me to decorate their stuff, the way I do with most of mine. I've pretty much learned to appreciate the kind of art that I am able to come up with.
I can say that I am able to look at paintings with a different eye after this class. I used to visit museums with my friends and my mom without too much enthusiasm. Now I feel like I've been given new eyes to see beyond the paintings before me. After finals, I plan to do just that. I am eager to put these new eyes to use.
Lastly, I'd like to say that I feel like the most important thing I have learned from this class, to me, is that anyone can become an artist. I wrote that on my light bulb sheet... I guess sometimes it takes a little more effort to find the artist in one's self-or in anyone. Maybe it just takes a little push, or an Art Appreciation class to really get in touch with it.
This class has changed a lot more about the way I see things now but it would take too much time to put these all up; but all the same, I am very thankful for having been a part of it.
