My younger self influences me everyday. Ever since I was young, I knew what my desires were and that encouraged me to do what was best for my future self. This made me focus on self-discipline, which I believe is very important if you want to see improvement. Consistency is key when it comes to improving one's skill, so I try my best to practice my art skills as often as I can. When I was younger, I didn’t have many people to spend time with or talk to. Because of this, I resorted to art and literature to have my own experiences and connections with the art as well as characters. I truly believe that this made me a wiser and more opinionated person. I noticed that the more I learned, the more I wanted to learn. I think that this has caused me to find more comfort in myself and my abilities rather than relying on others. When I graduate, I will use my artistic skills to the best of my ability in order to create amazing architectural ideas. This will influence my work as an artist as well as an architect. I hope that through my work, I will encourage others to be creative through their art skills. My art skills will also help me to be more innovative with my career. Since I plan on becoming a more sustainable architect, I can use my creativity to create sustainable ideas. My main goal is to incorporate sustainability into architecture – not only to make it more eco-friendly, but to also make it more self-sufficient. Throughout history art has been used to demonstrate cultural differences and perspectives. It can be used in our homes to demonstrate our own personal style, but it can also be used to make us feel a certain way. My art skills are a bit different from others because I have many different art styles. I love having multiple art styles, because I think that it encourages me to be more creative and insightful. Of course having a specific art style is like having a signature, but I would like to extend my styles beyond that. I do this because I want to challenge myself so that I can improve my skills. I tend to focus on my artistic ability when it comes to art projects rather than focusing on meaning. I do this not only because I want to focus on making my art more realistic, but I would like to focus on perspective more. Although this may be true, I do find myself at times creating art pieces just for fun, which sometimes gives the art its own meaning. When people look at my art pieces, they tend to have their own perspectives and they add their own meanings to it - which I enjoy because it shows that art goes beyond the maker's perspective as well as purpose. Art has many meanings, and that is what makes it so special and important to society.
