One of the most attractive things of this summer program is that it provides us lectures involved in different domains. No matter whether we are major in it, we could have the chance to get in touch with that we are interested in. This morning, we were so lucky that we could be given a painting lecture by the professor of VCU Arts School.
Painting is always my interest regardless how old I am and what I’m doing. When I was a kid, it was my hobby, my interest and also my dream. My dream was to be a clothing designer in the future. I learnt drawing almost about eight years added up. But in order to have more time to study, I gave it up. From then on, painting was just my hobby. When I had spare time, I would stay at home and create some works. I could draw a whole day without doing anything, even forgetting the meal. Actually, When I was in middle and high school, I always help my class to do something related to art. Such as painting some posters or designing some logos. Admittedly, I might had more passion on doing this kind of job rather than study our daily lessons. And the most proud things I could remember in middle and high school was not when I got a high score in a certain exam, but when I was successful in doing some arts’ work.
Arts can make me excited and passionate. It sparks me a lot. When I feel sad, it could help me to release. When I feel happy, it could double this happiness. When I feel anxious, it could make me calm down. When I want be more peaceful, I could also do it. The most perfect moment of the world is to enjoy the art.
In contrast, as age became older and older, I found that arts would better just be hobby rather than a career or living. Because it makes people passionate, people may have the possibility that they couldn’t control themselves. Thus, it may lead to insaneness. By that time, people lose reason. World becomes messy.
Anyway, it is the best way of relaxation. I love it so much.
