I have always loved drawing, drawing has always been there as soon as I
can hold pencils. I was very imaginative evidently by the series of
sketches & drawings on the walls in my parent's house. Drawing
allows me to express my innermost thoughts, imaginations & develop
my art skills. Growing up living in a small town with just rivers, hills
& jungles, we have little but we have so much to do by creating our
own games & activities.
One of my favorite was to create 'Popping Gun' equivalent to
'Slingshot' from the bamboo ( chutes ), chopsticks & small beans
(Wild plants) made up as the 'bullet', we carry our creations everywhere
& would get into combative mood once we have enough players. As it
becomes popular among us, some actually made the 'popping guns' to be
sold to friends & local grocery stores and to me that is a classic
example of creativity & innovation put to good use.
Looking back, I really enjoyed & learned so much, I have many many
friends and I excelled in sports, academically & artistically I did
fairly well, and art was a constant feature in my growing years. Right
into my adulthood I was determined to carve out my name as a cartoonist,
I really enjoyed the profesion and I still do. I have always view art
as a tool to make a living, which is true to a certain extent, but that
changed after I joined Global Art in 2005, it totally & forever
changed my perception about visual art.
I found art to be more than just a visual subject, learning art
encompasses the technical aspects through the process of learning art,
learners get to gain invaluable insights, knowledge & skills to
improve their thinking abilities, learning disciplines, confidence and
skills. With that in place, learners will only grow & function
better, creatively as they move forward to the many phases of their
life. Reviewing my own personal experiences, I somehow believed Art has
to do with all the good things that came to me (still it is), it is so
rewarding & enriching, LIVE LIFE...CREATIVELY!!
