My History With Art
My earliest art related memory is of me finding a fresh pack of sticky notes, and proudly walking around the house telling everyone "I was going to make a movie". In reality I probably made a simple ball bouncing flip book. I didn't truly get a taste for creating art until my 7th grade year where I took a digital media class. This class taught me Photoshop and the barest basics of 2D-animation. This led to me making some very crude and simplistic shorts. I really hoped these would lead to YouTube fame (they did not). I kind of stopped doing animation and art for a while until my senior year in high school. In a weeks time I created Time Machine my first real animated short. It had dialogue, multiple scenes, and music cues I was very proud of it when it was finished (now not so much). This video would eventually be remade for the Campus Movie Festival at UCF. Then I went into an artistic lull until my freshman year of college where I was very very bored. This lack of activity led me to begin learning how to draw, animate, and edit video. I now had the ability to produce videos and art I could be some what proud of. This led to me being a founding member of the UCF Art and Drawing Club (I would later become the clubs President). This takes us to now where I am nowhere close to being done improving my art. I make an effort to try to do something artistic everyday so my abilities can continue to improve.
