The Young Artist

As a young artist and hardly a writer , today ’ s topic is inspiration . It is one of the key points of my work . I don ’ t just write or draw things . It is not giving the same satisfaction as the works I have done . Hearing a poem and liking it , then drawing something that evokes a similar vibe . When I hear a good sentence , an idea shows up on my mind and I need to either act it out or write it down . The spark of the idea I am calling out is inspiration , the feeling you get when you have an idea and need to keep it in hand .
In my life journey I have encountered many inspiring moments . It is hard to describe all the feelings , but I have a story and will write it down here . It starts with me attending to a new school at the second half of first grade . I met a girl who liked to draw and was also really good at it . After becoming friends with her , I started to become annoying by always asking “ Can you teach me how to draw ?’’ or “ How did you learn to draw like that ?’’ I am not sure how but we are still friends somehow . Putting that aside , I clearly remember how passionate I was about drawing as well as her . hen , eventually , after a lot — I mean a lot — of practice and one terrible art course , here I am calling myself an artist , thanks to that one girl . What I mean is of course there will be big and famous names that inspire you but do not lose sight on ordinary people that can improve , inspire you or even change your perspective about the world and life .
