Made something for the first time in a decade because I was told I’m terrible at art by someone I looked up to
Collage on canvas
I’ve been making art since I was tiny and it was my only happy thing for a longe time. After taking multiple art classes, winning in art competitions at school, and being featured in showcases, I was put into AP art in high school. My AP teacher hated me and told me my art was absolutely terrible. He said that I should quit making it or at least figure out my own style.
I quit making art that day and haven’t made any for the past 10 years.
The other day we had a team building activity where we made vision boards. Everyone else just cut pictures out and pasted them on the canvas.
But I saw the image of the body and immediately had a creative rush I haven’t felt in a long time. So I ran with it and this was the result. It was made in 1 hour with modge podge, Pinterest, canvas, and an exacto knife.
When I got done with work I looked at it and cried. I realized it was the first piece of art I’ve made in years that I’ve actually liked.
TLDR: Was told my art is terrible so I stopped making art for 10 years. Made this at work for a team building event in one hour with no plan going into it. It was emotional.
