Who Am I?
_Hello ! My name is Jessica Lynn. I currently live in Milwaukee WI and am ready to take on the world after I finish getting the Full Diploma at Ronald Wilson Reagan College Preparatory High School, an International Baccalaureate World School. Art has always been a passion of mine. Over the years, my interest in art has expanded and has caused me to be where I am today. When I was little my aunt used to do a lot of drawing, and I used to think to myself,
“I’m never going to be able to draw like that”.
With that mindset, it gave me the strong motivation to want to draw and make more of myself than I already had. I used to just draw for the fun of it, until I realized that art was something that truly made me happy, and made me feel like all of my emotions were being released onto my paper. It was then that I began to play around with paints, pastels, colored pencils, etc. I began by just drawing simple things, such as the sun and the trees to drawing buildings and animals. I was completely enthralled by it. When I make an art piece I feel as though everyone who looks at it can see a piece of the world through my eyes and experience things that I have. Art is more of an addiction to me, something that stretches my imagination to so many extents that it’s hard to keep control of. When I look at the world, I see a world full of so much beauty, full of so much man made art that is just draws me in.
I was taught to see the beauty in every person and thing that I saw, and in a way that made my interest in the study of art grow. I was showed even from a young age, art in a way that I had never seen before.When I entered high school I was taught new things, that peeked my interest in art which seemed to escalate faster than it ever had or I had ever fathomed it to be. I was taught to have confidence in my art, and that art was more like a choice. Either you fail, or you succeed, and there will always be people trying to make you fail but you have to rise above the rest and just be you, and with your art work you represent that.
