So it Begins...

Honestly, when my English teacher told me I'd have to create a blog and regularly post on it until the end of the school year in May, I was less than thrilled. I have had little to no previous experience with them, other than clicking the occasional Pinterest link. When asked to come up with a theme that my blog would be centered about, I had no clue what I wanted to write about. But then I got to thinking about subjects that I could easily write about and not get bored with after a month. And then it hit me. I would write about art.

Besides the one hour class I take four days a week, I don't have much time for art in my free time. There's no time for sketching, shading, and painting when you are an athlete, student, and generally very involved in more than just showing up to school every day. Between school, games every weekend, family and friends, I hardly have two hours to myself to just sit down and let the creative juices flow.

So, I'm going to use this blog as an excuse to take time out of my busy life to do one of my favorite things- create. It will give me a valid reason to step away from all of the duties of my every day life.

This blog will be used as a way to better my artistic abilities, explore new techniques, and share my hobby with other people who share my passion for pretty things.
