My First Post!

1. I came to Boston Arts Academy to learn more about art. I want to improve my drawing skills and become an amazing artist! I want to achieve my dream as an animator. I want to work hard and show the world that I can do anything as long as I believe in myself and focus on my dream, and make that dream come true. I felt that Boston Arts Academy is a great place to go because I can learn much more about art from art teachers, professional artists and improve my drawing skills massively. Now that I'm in Boston Arts Academy, I will give my all and work toward that dream I've been dreaming so long.

2. One thing I hope for my future as an artist is to become a famous animator! I want to start from baby steps, practicing my skills in Boston Arts Academy. After I've mastered all these skills, I want to go ahead and start making animations! I want to make all sorts of animations - Anime, stop motion, 2-D animation, even 3-D animation! But the animation I really want to make is either 2-D animation or 3-D animation. I want to show off all of my improved drawing skills I've been working hard on all these years and put it all together into a unique 2-D animation. For 3-D animation, I just want to impress others with beautiful 3-D fluid animation. Many 3-D shows look so beautiful in 3-D, so I thought it would be lovely if  I  learned to make 3-D as an artist as well!

3. I went to the Museum of Fine Arts on 9/15. I saw beautiful paintings created by the talented Jaime Wyeth. One piece of painting that got stuck on me is mostly the seagull painting. I got impressed that Wyeth made the painting out of water color, it looks like oil painting! The painting of seagulls he created and many other paintings he made is so beautiful to stare at. He's an amazing artist!

4. In general, what I learned from the exhibitions is that Wyeth took his time to paint. He focused on his art and enjoyed every minute of his hard work. I saw a video of him painting the seagull painting, and I can tell he's enjoying what he's doing. He also made many paintings, he practiced all his life painting. He painted differently on different paintings, like some are blurry, others are detailed, others are portraits, some even came from his imagination! When you take your time painting, and you enjoy at the same time, the painting will come out even more beautiful than expected.
