Young artist - Brief Article

Arts & Activities, Oct, 2000 by Alexander Desilets

The reason I love art is that I use my imagination and that I create my own drawings. That makes me happy! So I draw more. Every time I draw, I get a little better.

It is very fun to draw the pictures. Every day I look out my window, and I draw whatever I see. Sometimes I do projects like a Santa Claus calendar. Sometimes I draw pictures for my friends. I usually draw action pictures. The drawings I love to draw best are cities because they are very big, and there is a lot of action going on like subways and there are lots of cars.

I know what I want to be when I grow up. I'll be an artist. When I see a drawing it just catches my eye. In a museum, I mostly look at the drawings. I would love going to an art museum everyday.
