Andy Warhol tomato soup print. Because it looks appetizing truthfully and was the very first artwork I saw. This craft itself was the icon of pop art. Andy Warhol made a genre of art I wanted to master in my art career or just for fun. Pop art to me in museums was comic strips and cartoon versions of celebrities. But it was a bit more than that. Pop art was my entire childhood in 3D. It was fun, fresh, and whimsical to examine. Andy Warhol is one of my favorite artists because he turned his art into a social symbol of glamour and some uprising against society. He constructed the Birmingham Race Riot to illustrate the African American oppression and police brutality in the 60s. But what I appreciate the most about his artwork is the openness behind the icon illustrations. Which is especially cash. Purchasing or vending crafts was the main impulse. I don't think my motivation is any different, but shall be proceeded with moderation and composure.

Joy is the purpose of the love of contentment with certain worldly things. And to find joy is just meaning to discover yourself being happy or satisfied inside a certain universe. Joy could be easily found in the most unnoticeable locations where it would be the last place to look in my opinion. Because as human beings, we spend the most time examining for things that falsely advertise what joy is with temporal possessions such as fame, fortune, sex, and power. But those things don't really make joy or even happiness come to a truthful light. The real joy is feeling clean of burdens and worries over things that shouldn't really matter or things people tend to overlook like family or friends. I seek joy in simplicity and normality in my everyday lifestyle such as graphic design art, drawing, reading novels, playing games, or just being around my family is what makes me joyful at the maximum ratio. Nothing bothers me or stresses me out that much because I do those things instead of having those things. I have a family though I spend time with them every second I can get. I have art supplies, though I also used them to the fullest compacity to create something in wonder. I love food and to eat, but that doesn't mean I don't make them myself at some point just to be impressed with myself at the effort. So in the end, joy is you and you are joy. Joy is found, discovered, devoted, and explored to its true power in an individual's hands and soul. joy stands out because it's yours. You found it, then it's your joy to keep to yourself or to share with the world. Joy gives you more choices than it gives you ideas.

It would be "a world divided should take notes on a world that doesn't exist, but is sadly more prosperous." I say this because every show I have watched over the years revolving in a new place is doing pretty much better than ours. For instance, if a zombie apocalypse came accurately, we should understand what to do because of all the walking dead episodes people have been monitoring, or why war isn't the solution because of all the documentaries shows to reveal the wild world we used to live in so that we don't go through it again and again. I consider individuals nowadays have gotten too prudent and soft with themselves and others around them like the way they raise their kids or interact with the academic systems and federal states. It's gotten to the point where Totalism and Totalitarianism began to take shape in our devices instead of the government itself, which is a bit ridiculous since human beings begin to evolve into something sedentary and unethical. Wisdom isn't something made up, but something explored and connected with the intellect, body, and essence of the spectator.

The pleasures of life are what make me happy. The fact that I'm alive with my eyes wide open is what makes me the most content. Whether I'm playing games, watching anime back to back, or just taking a superficial nap, this is me who is pleased with no changes and no exotic daydreams other people desire. Art makes me happy when I'm doing it or putting the work in to create something like it. Music is another easy joy that gives me a kaleidoscopic sensation when listening to these artists sing and build sounds and rhythms to make you either move or sway your head slowly to the harmony. I for one, can't proceed anywhere unless I have my headphones on my head and my playlist in my pocket. Technically, I don't necessarily assume happiness is a superficial reflex in mortal essence, but more of an aspect of someone's life or faith as a whole. Happiness is propaganda of philosophical statements and ideals that consists of what should "be", rather than what is precisely now. So the question "What makes you happy?" is as unrelatable as "what do you do you desire in life?" Contentment isn't a question, but more of a conclusion of whether or not you believe you want it for yourself or for others to drive toward happiness to receive something greater than happiness itself. So I can say that unsophistication makes me delighted as it is. I'm a material girl after all.

It's so efficient because it's basically a test of humanity and inner solace. If you can wait you can receive greatly for your efforts. Plus it's kindness towards other people and tells them that you are a calm, peaceful, cooperative person they can be around positively. Patience is good, it's necessary, and it's worth the wait because you waited out a storm as calmly and tranquil as possible and gained rewarding results, as the saying, "patience is a virtue". It's important to me based on the fact that we need more of it. At times, I sped through things and gain unsatisfactory results. But in the end, I had to choose patience, not just to get better, but to feel slowed down and focused. There will be very difficult times where the situation doesn't look so pretty to handle, but continue to be patient and work through things very slowly or step by step to reach a resolved solution to the conflict.

Art is influential now because it reads off the messages to the world of imagination. There are two reasons art is important; one is based on philosophy about the world as a unit and events in question. Such as graffiti art to give of creativity or to display occasions such as gang wars or police brutality, in an artistic way towards people like you or me. The second reason is that it's fun. Art and music are fun to do because they illustrate to you as an artist and as an individual that this is what you do and you are so good at it that people want more to just find inspiration from your artwork because it's amazing to the point where others know you love it enough to work hard on it to show it to fans and critics alike. Art made me a person with different characters in each artwork. They say what I like within the art itself is to create an intention of imagination and fantasy you see in a daydream or other works of art. Art is naturally everywhere and spiritually influential everywhere, even in other countries. Essentially, art is like a person roaming the globe, giving advice and speaking on how it feels on certain issues or events socially, philosophically, or biblically. In the end, art is art, music is music, and people are people making it happen time after time towards a deeper acknowledgment, it's what makes us, as human beings to stop and think about what is happing in the painting or drawing, why it symbolizes the realities of life, and what is its omnipresent truth. Art has forever been human nature since the dawn of early man and the late renaissance. It's been there to capture and remember individualism in each and every one of us.

Penning poetry is what I enjoy the most in this world because I can say what I want to say and express myself in the process without caring if it makes sense or not. I love poetry in general because it makes me feel strong in the spotlight, real or not. But it is challenging because it always feels as if I, as a poet, am not delivering what the audience wants in an atmosphere. The poetry I write can be impressive but never personal in a pretense. I have always felt ashamed or embarrassed to be nonobjective in my writing and stop writing in the process, as I thought others wouldn't apprehend my emotions as words. So I instead speak about racial movements and events that tap into the audience's attitudes. Poetry has gotten me into some very fun places and awards over the year. I got the opportunity to perform on stage along with my community program Teens with a Purpose such, as the Wells Theater of the opening of "The Tempest, the mother's day performance at the MOCA museum, and as a slam poet at the Downtown Virginia Stage Company Theater, along with many more. Poetry isn't much less of a hobby than it is a means to reveal more to me as an individual or an adolescent philosophical therapist wannabe yet shows what I should keep doing with the creativeness I have existed constructing up until currently. The way poetry or art, in general, has affected me not as a hobby, but as complete different personalities, I build up to change the narrative of how my words sound like an accent or a more assertive tone to reach out to the audience or spectators. Poems are not just words on paper to me. They are personas and costumes to put on, to express yourself toward the limits of your potential.

I am creatively accurate. I treat my work like one whole dream I'm achieving right this moment. Not stopping, never stopping. I use the naturalism within my soul to prepare for the big idea. Whether it's drawing or graphic design, I find the idea no matter the scenario and do it. The "solution to the confusion of the conflicts" is the new catchphrase I want to use for the real heroes of the world. I am not a hero but a poet with hands of bronze and the mind of Doppo poetry and the common gravitational pull of philosophy. The contradiction of a prideful love of Anime and true passion.

I have utilized art as a necessary escape not solely from reality but from myself too. There were occasional junctures in my life where I questioned my individuality, sexuality, race, connections with my loved ones, life, death, and my own emotions. There were days where I wouldn't wake up because I didn't have any desire to get up. Then days where I cried for no reason. Like someone deep inside me was so unhappy, so damaged at for no reason and used me as a vessel to cry for them. And thinking back on it now, I felt slightly guilty because I had on no basis to feel that way. I had everything I needed thus why I feel appreciative now but I thought I had nothing. No accomplishments accomplished, no remarkable talents, no extraordinary proficiency. I lacked everything others said I accumulated. Art in itself proceeded to give me a little hope with my feelings and how I could be proficient in a way. It delivered me a vision to build a project that came to life like in video games and movies. To build a "solution towards the confusions of conflict" or "to be the genius who remakes the solution" isn't really the full true mindset to pick out as individuals in any field of careers, but is the motivation of the dreamers and a motivation to try harder, to be one with the vision, and to look at the bigger picture that's not just about you but about the description of a gamble to the naturalism of the arts. Art is natural to the point of a golden purpose that could be all but universal. Consider the probability that a mental illness is an artwork human beings have not learned to subjugate. Yet the issue is not to overthrow it but to comprehend it. Mental illness doesn't withdraw just because you compel your way to force obedience, it fights consistently more formidable until it drags you directly to rock bottom. I, myself, have never been that deep but I got a glimpse for only a moment. The constant heaviness of the mind and heart are still here, but that won't stop me, it shouldn't stop anyone, from attaining what they appreciate and what makes them content as individuals. Because that's what we really are, and that is what art is to me. A person living and breathing, going through the same things I am and supporting me as I confide in it day by day by each lifetime I could've had or might have. Art will lead us to a greater world. The question is, do you believe it?

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1V3XTuzNzYtn4p2lLZSHRUzRHq1KBerYGkCQMMy5sjxE/edit#slide=id.p My vision is simple really, to push toward the limit of being the solution to the conflict with the experience I'm about to be involved in. The only life experience that had molded this dream in the beginning was my first anime, Full Metal Alchemist. Equivalent Exchange actually relates to real life than expected and that's the plan for the future as an artist. The will and moral to sacrifice the kindness of conflict. Meaning as an artist, I will need to be strict and truthful to the world about what I feel is happing at every corner in the world. To grab a hold of important attention. But there will be unconditional beauty within the art.

Art has been with me since day one of my life. My Mom did it and my Grandmother did it, so it's in my blood. As soon as I watched my first Anime, I wanted more. My very first anime was Full Metal Alchemist. The show itself was so exciting, the art and animation were old at the time, but it was gorgeous. So I watched more and more anime, from when I got my first phone ( although it was hand-me-down) to watch any episode on YouTube means necessary. By my middle school years, I've been perfecting and practicing my drawing dexterities every opportunity I got until I evolved as some-what adequately to be impressed with myself. The moment my father brought me a Kindle Tablet five Christmases ago; I discovered it was a game-changer for my art profession. I operated that thing day and night, drawing and sketching. And although some weren't the most satisfactory looking, some had the potential to be proud of. Art harbors more from an escape from reality to a growing personality towards me throughout the years. It protected me somehow and has provided me with some motivation and conceptions for stories, video games, character design, and voice-over ideas. Art gave me voices for some of my characters and characters from my favored shows, art became my persona, just as poetry became my intellect. The days where I look back into my childhood, it's just full of drawings, memories, and such strangeness that it's practically charming for a preschooler. But I knew what I wanted to draw, I knew what I loved at the time, so I drew it even though it look liked a riddle and made no sense whatsoever. But that was the point I drew it anyway. Nowadays I give up on one sketch and push on to the next, then revamp the artwork I got frustrated with. I am still learning. Still discovering, still experimenting, still studying (watching anime) to obtain a superficial pursuit, to just make something come alive. To watch it develop and stride on its own limbs physically and spiritually. I want to watch it come to life whether in a video game or comic book; they deserve to be shared with someone, anyone, even if it's just a small group, I don't care as long as my artwork is shared piece by piece. Art means more to me than my own person. If I didn't know any better then I could state that art is more of me than myself.
