Hey everyone, I was thinking that I would do a blog post about art... I absolutely love art, I took it for one of my GCSE options in high school and now I'm going on to do a Level 3 Btech in Art and design at College! Ever since I was little I've always known that I didn't want to just work in an office, to me that is the boringest thing I could ever think off, but I couldn't draw (and still can't) but when I got into high school I realised art was anything so I took a different approach, instead of drawing I used words and little quotes and it was so much fun! I really wanted to be a fashion designer but that changed when I went to my college interviews, they told me that my art work was excellent and that I would go on to be a graphic designer (making posters etc.) I wasn't sure at first but I researched it and it looked really good and the artwork was similar to the sort of thing that I was doing, it seems like the perfect thing to do!
I started making things for my bedroom just after I had my bedroom decorated, before I had it done my mum and dad didn't really like posters being on the wall (but they got used to it) and I told them that when we decorated I wanted a picture wall where I would stick all of my pictures from when was little until now and it would be like a memory board, I really liked this idea until I realised how long it would take and with shelves on the walls it would be really hard, I don't have a feature wall either so that made it quite difficult! I then noticed that I had nothing on the inside doors of my wardrobe so I wrote down a lot of small quotes and stuck them on the door, this was know known as the "quote door" it took me around 6 months as I did the top and then had a huge break and then realised that it was incomplete so I finished it.
I also make posters of quotes or songs that I like, I get the quotes off the internet (Instagram) and I make them my own, I do everything from The Fault In Our Stars to Inspirational quotes. I do them so that they are colourful and then I stick them on the wall so that everyone who enters the bedroom can see them!
I am currently working on one which should be finished by the end of the day, I might do another blog post like this one in a few weeks so that you can see more artwork, I am also working on a memory book, I have stuck in the pictures and now I just have to write the quotes and stick in the stickers, but I'll do a blog post when I've finished that!
Thank you for reading, please let me know if you liked this post so I can do more blog posts like this in the future!
Love Shannon
