My art.

So for as long as I can remember I've always been drawing. When I was a little girl I was convinced that I would grow up and become a famous artist. But after awhile...I stopped thinking that because I didn't think my drawings were any good. Once I hit junior high and high school, I started drawing again and without taking drawing classes...I would doodle everywhere and eventually got better.
So for my second semester in college, I decided I would take two art classes...because since they don't offer any fashion or sewing classes at a community college level...I might as well perfect my drawing skills to help better my renderings.

I am completely in love with my art classes. I take a drawing class every Monday and Wednesday and a Design Fundamentals class every Tuesday and Thursday, and only one week in and I am already excited to take more art classes in upcoming semesters.


My first project for my Design Fundamentals class was to create 6 drawings using any materials we wish, and take a certain viewpoint of a picture and recreate it.
These are 5/6 I came up with:

Coral Gables

Soo my dad has this thing where he likes to go exploring random cities. He used to do it in Chicago and now he's doing it down here. So this morning he woke me up at 9AM (Blasphemy, I know) and we went to Coral Gables.

I had to take pictures of this old theatre because well..you'll see.
