What makes me inspired?
There are a lot of things in this world can inspire me in my art works. Movies, websites that I look on, and also the magazines or books I read all the time. When I was in China, my dad and I always go to museums to have a look. There were many good museums in Beijing, which do have art exhibitions sometimes. We did like to spend half a day in museums and really enjoy the arts that made by those famous artists. But the thing I always do to inspire my mind is talking with people. The conversations are always just in five minutes, but they do help me a lot.
I love talking with people around, no matter we are friends or have never seen each other before, I do like to talk with them and share my opinions with them. I am a kind of person that hates reading. I don’t like reading is because that I do not like reading so many words line up together. But I do love reading the books with pictures in it. I feel like they are just more interesting and I can understand the things from the pictures. After my reading, I always find someone to talk about it. By talking to other people, I can understand the topic better and get some other opinions. Their ideas really inspire me and I do use those ideas to create some art works. Sometimes, I love to share my ideas to my friends, and their replies are always the things I can never think about. They help me to make my paintings or drawings more interesting all the time.
I also talk to people, who I have never seen before. By talking to them, I learn their life and how do they view things. Every one’s daily life is different. They may have the experience I don’t have or may have the ideas that I have never thought about. Those things always bright my mind and give me ideas of my art works. And also, different people’s life experiences can make my arts more meaningful.
Talking to people is a great way to inspire myself. It gives me more crazy ideas and more articles to paint. And with talking to other people, I can make more friends too.
