Art was my favorite class this semester because I surprisingly learnt a lot from it, the different techniques, the ways you can make art more realistic or abstract. The reason why I found the art class a good environment to learn is because the class doesn't put you under pressure, it's feels like a class where you can do what you like, and also that even though we have only 1 hour and 30 minutes it seems like the most productive class where I get my work done. I also think that art was the most fun class, there were times where I got frustrated but it eventually gets better.

Art had shown me that art doesn't only mean painting and drawing and having to be perfect at everything. Art had shown me that art means more than just coloring and slapping things onto a canvas or paper. Art had shown me that people really respect art because they seem to be able to throw their emotions out on a paper and are able to express their feeling, many times passion can be seen throughout the work and it can show a message. I think that's what students at AISJ look for, Been living in saudi I know a lot of people find it hard to express themselves. Art is everywhere, Art is in books, Art is in writing, Art is in spoken words, Art is in earth that we live in. Art is in you. And you do not need to be the best at it, there will always be people who say they've done better, but think about it. Someone else must think their work is better that that person who said that they did better than you. the chain goes on. But inspiration comes from everywhere and you can't blame that on anyone.
I do admit I'm not the best at drawing and painting but I still enjoy it, photography is what I really want to do but if you connect the dots photography is art, its digital pictures of the earth, which is art.
So would that make me a good artist? Again art is everywhere! Something you did earlier may be considered art to someone. And I feel as if art is taken for granted and people just expect everything that comes out of an art room to be perfection, it may not be but sometimes you can see the artist emotions even if it's good nor not. And sometimes you can see the hard work they've put into it.
