Hello my dear Steemians and Art Fans,

Introduction

 

Since I was a child, me and my siblings were loved to look through our father’s sketchblock. He was really good in Portrait drawing and we were fascinated with that. We also started to do some drawings but of course there was nothing that would be having a hint of what we wanted to do. That is why my aim was to learn drawing and be like my father.

My First Friend in School

 

I think I was very excited to start school, one of the reason was I wanted to learn other children especially in my age. When the day came and I together with my parents came to my first day I was a bit scared and did not know what to do. My class had 30 children both boys and girls, my mother saw that and asked a girl who was from my class her name and introduced us, that was my first friend. I was lucky that she was very active and chatty, my day was perfect and I loved to be in school.

My first Art class:

 

One of the subject that we had on our weekly schedule was Art and I was very excited for that. I thought we will have a professional Artist Tutor who will teach us, but it was our School teacher. Nevertheless I was happy to have a lesson and it was no matter who will be teaching us. She was quite good and could do good drawings but of course especially for our age they were all simple.

What I remember and that is firmly been saved in my mind that she always encouraged us not to worry about the result of our work, she said that now at this age all the Artists are good and we just need to express what we feel and our way of seeing and interpreting the subject.

That gave us the feeling of freedom and inspired to let our imagination go without thinking about the score that we might have for our work.

Also that encouraged me to practice because I loved to do paintings and I did not really care to visit any special Art School because I just did it for me in my free time.

The lessons that I learnt from my First Teacher are:

• TO FEEL FREE

• TO EXPRESS WHAT I WANT AND

• NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IF ANYONE WILL LIKE OR DISLIKE IT

 

That is why my school time is always the time of my first steps in the world of Art, that is why I wanted to share it for this Challenge together with my Watercolor painting that I created specially for that.
