What was your inspiration for the toucan?
It was for my mom because she really loves animals-- that’s also for the turtle, too-- because she had a lot of work and I wanted to do something to make her smile. That’s why they’re laminated. I put them in my presentation for art.
Why did you do the one with all the shapes and colors?
Well, I was inspired by my best friend’s older sister. She drew something really awesome with a lot of shapes and colors and I thought it was really pretty, so I decided to try one for myself.
How do you feel when you are creating art?
Well, I feel pretty calm and happy, like I don’t have anything to do so I’m just there, doing what I want.
Do you get stressed out if you have to erase a lot?
I don’t really stress out because whenever I draw, it calms me and makes me happier, when I am stressed. So if it comes out bad, I don’t stress. I’m kind of a perfectionist when it comes to marks and eraser smudges but I just fix it!
What else do you draw?
I can draw cartoons, and really fun, bubbly happy stuff, flowers, and sometimes people.
What inspires you to draw?
What motivates me to draw is pretty much the people around me and what I see, and my Grandma and my Mom, they were really good drawers and they inspired me to do what I like to do and they have a really big effect on me.
How has your drawing changed since you came to the middle school?
It’s definitely changed a lot because I’ve learn a lot about values and shading and how to use color and contrast, other than just drawing doodles.
