My name is Alexander and I love to draw. Painting isn't really my strong point but I suprise myself here and there. I am 13 years old, I attend school at Guilford Preparatory Academy. I starts drawing when I was 7 years old when I won the "That's a Wrap" Contest hosted by News & Records, where you had to create a Christmas Wrap design. Since then every scetch, drawing, painting, coloring, everything I did that expressed my abilities I put all my heart and mind into makin a scribble or anything a little scetch i did everything I could to make it realistic.Everthing I draw is either real or looks realistic. Howver painting is all in my mind .If I have a game plan when I paint It's all from my heart and how I feel. When I turned 13 I started volunteering at Art Quest in Greensboro. The reason I joined Art Quest is because what I gain from volunteering at the Art Quest is perspective, other people's veiw of art. I see amazing things that I probably never considered at the Art Quest that inspire me dearly.What I gain from other people's artwork I use that to better my own work. Art is is whatever you feel it is and whatever shows your creativity and characteristics. You don't need to be trained to be good. I met someone at The Art Quest that drew all his life but didn't become an Artist, he became an Photographer and teaches his encourages his daughter to start. Art is not just painting or draawing, I also sing and play the Piano/keyboard. I write songs whenever the melody comes my way.  I do anything that feels right and art feels really good!
