My Project
Hello again! Last time, I shared a little about visual design and its importance.
Today, I want to tell you about my greatest project—discovering the joy of watercolor painting. Through this journey, I found my love for art. I have always enjoyed art lessons and drawing since I was little. In school, art was my favorite subject, but I never thought much of it, and I was pretty average at drawing and painting.
It all started in eighth grade when my grandma had her birthday. I decided to make her a birthday card. I had some inexpensive watercolors and used them to paint flowers. Surprisingly, it turned out well! When I gave the card to my grandma, both she and my grandpa loved it. In fact, they loved it so much that they framed it, and it still hangs on their wall today.
A few days later, my grandpa surprised me with a set of high-quality watercolors. Ever since then, I have been painting—and I still use that same set today.
Art is a journey. Over the past six years, I have learned a lot and improved my skills, yet there is always more to explore. I want to learn new techniques and develop my creative thinking. One day, I hope to study visual design because it would be a great addition to my education. My goal is to work in visual design for companies, combining it with my background in information processing to open up new career opportunities.
Sometimes, I feel unsure of myself. I look at other people’s work and feel like they are more skilled than I am. But I remind myself that feeling stuck or lost is normal, and everyone experiences it at some point. You are not alone.
Life doesn’t have to be so serious. If you haven’t had a big project in your life yet, there’s still plenty of time. Don’t stress about it. It’s easy to compare yourself to others, but the best thing you can do is focus on your own progress. Do your best, and most importantly—just give it a try!
