| dc.description.abstract | The artist's statement: When I hear the word art, the first thing that comes to mind is culture; but if we are going to be honest here, it is the second thing. The first thing that really pops into my head when I hear the word art is growing up. As a kid, to me, the word art meant finger painting, play time, and getting to draw pictures that made no sense. It was one of my favorite hobbies, and was also my way of escaping and dealing with the lack of interest, and boredom of grade school. Whether it be those strict math teachers telling you to pay attention to what they considered were, "fun activities," that were supposed to help you learn how to add and subtract; or those monotonous English teachers who continually tried explaining how important grammar is throughout your entire life, my main desire was always to doodle meaningless artwork on anything I could get my hands on. Though, at that age, kids do not understand how crucial education truly is; the only things they really care about are having fun and what is for lunch. Over the past several years, as I continue to mature as a person, and as an artist, the meaning of the word art has changed in an uncountable number of ways. I never thought I would be graduating college with a bachelor in fine arts, but I am! I was only a little, nervous freshman at Colorado State University when I decided I wanted to pursue a future in art. I always caught myself painting and drawing, whether it was on paper, a canvas, or even on myself. I thought, "Wow, I should probably be in a concentration that would allow me to express what I appreciated doing most." From that day forward, I have been a full time student in the graphic design program at the University Center for the Arts at Colorado State. I believe that art is more than just a career choice; it is a life choice, and it is one that I am happy with and will never regret making. | |
