Being an artist is important to the world because we live in a very cultural environment with paintings on every wall in every corner. I started art when I was in 6th grade because I didn’t want to be in the dance class anymore. I like to paint more than anything. I only do art as assignments but not as a hobby. I know my art is finished when I look at the drawing and nothing else comes up or when I just don't feel like doing it anymore. I don't really have an art style. I see something I like and I just add my own twist to it. I don't have any goals as an artist. Something I'm struggling with is sticking to one idea or going through the whole drawing. When I'm faced with challenges, I just accept them and keep going unless Ms Nuru points them out. My biggest challenge of being an artist is being an artist because I never had it in mind to become one. I don’t have a favorite artist because when I look at an artwork I don’t think: “ouu let me look into their name and whose art it is. I guess my favorite artist is Ms Nuru. When I have a deadline in a drawing, I just put on my headphones so I don't get distracted as much. I don’t do anything to make sure I grow as an artist because I'll probably not be in this class next year. Art is not something I want to do professionally because I'm not a patient person.

Some advice I would give to someone who is just starting as an artist is to go ask somebody else for advice because I just do whatever.
