I'm from Eden Prairie, Minnesota, and I'm a Sophomore here at UW-Stout in the Studio Art program.
I am considering concentrating in drawing, so, if that is the case, I will be taking this class many more times to come. I absolutely love to draw; even though I don't think I'm very good at it. The main thing that I like to draw is people. Most people consider this to be a very difficult subject to draw, but that is part of the reason why I like it. I like the challenge it presents. However, I would consider other things to be much more difficult to draw. When I draw people I aim to create photorealism, however, I have never been satisfied with my attempts at this, so that is my goal whenever I do a drawing. Most people say that they can draw photorealistically, but they like to challenge themselves to create something different than what they see, but for me, the challenge is to recreate what I see exactly how it is.
Something that surprised me a lot about the reading was when the author said that you don't necessarily need to receive an education in order to be successful in life. While I now consider this to be true, and can think of examples to prove it, this came as a shock to me because my parents have always told me that I need to get a degree in order to get a good job and I need to get a job in order to be successful. That is one of my reasons I came to college, was because my parents told me I needed to. But I now believe that you create your own success in this world. If you create art that can speaks to people, that in itself is a success.
