        When I was younger, my favorite thing was to use my small camera and took lots of pictures. I enjoyed putting everything into my camera and I thought that was the first inspiration I had about art. Even when I grow up, photography is still the thing I love to do. I really feel free when I’m taking photos around the natural landscape. I’m good at taking photos of products and person, but it cannot decrease my passion of photographing. The first time I that I drew a picture was when I was in grade 4. I found it interesting but I could not get a high mark. I thought that I might not be strong at drawing and painting.

       

        I think the biggest inspiration about art for me is the different kinds of architectures and landscapes. I loving traveling, I went to lots of Places of interests in China and also some foreign countries in Europe. I’m really impressed by those ancient architectures like churches, temples, and waterfalls. Their colors, lines, shapes are very rare; no one can’t estimate the value of them. I enjoy putting all my time into appreciating them; taking photos, they can indulge me.

       

        My personal style of painting and drawing is that I need to have the background for my artwork, and usually it is black. I love black it can help me to fix my mistakes somehow. Also, I love to put lots of lines and shapes in my artwork that when I can’t find anything to put in my artwork, they are very useful. Contour lines are my favorite that it can make my artwork more balanced.

       

        Art is a main part of this world that we can obvious find it around our life. Art has lots of types because its creativity, it may help you find life interesting by giving more and more different things to your life. In other words, art has changed your life and the whole world. It also gives you more inspiration about creating new things. We all need to gratitude to art.
