Fateema Akter Becoming a Full-Fledged Artist

Art has given me a purpose and I want to learn more in-depth about it from professionals. I have always been interested in art since I was a toddler and used to terrorize the walls with crayons: now I have been dreaming of painting real murals. Ever since I was a kid, I wanted to be a full-fledged artist. Now that I am a bit older, I have hope that I can accomplish this goal while following my more practical dreams since I still want to emphasize art in my life. For so long, it has been a way that I have coped with hardships. Art has gotten me through so many struggles and has me feeling stronger because it helps me de-stress and healthily express myself.

I would like to use professional knowledge to strengthen the purpose art gives me by becoming more educated in the fundamentals. There is only so much you can do without guidance, and I feel like I’ve arrived at an obstacle in which I don’t know what to do to improve on my own. With the help of the studio classes, I think I can become more confident with my work and improve in a way where I would feel happy showcasing my work. I hope I find a way to work up to my success and fulfill my childhood dreams of being that “full-fledged artist”.
