Young artists celebrating artists – Introducing Amari

BY MAKAYLA B.

This week I interviewed a marvellous young artist named Amari. Art is something that she does more as a hobby, and mainly does it for fun during her free time. If she were to guess who she got her artistic abilities from she would say that she probably got them from her mom, but her art skills are more enhanced and cultivated because she has been drawing for a few years.

“You know how when you decide to clean your room and then your mom walks by and tells you to clean your room you don’t want to do it anymore?” Amari is quite fond and passionate when it comes to her art and prefers doing it in her own time. Drawing in a more carefree doodle-like style, she feels that she has to do well or that it has to look the best when she does art for assignments in school. Going to an art school is something that Amari is somewhat interested in, but she thinks that after school classes would be better.

Many people do something due to the fact that they have an idol that inspires them but some don’t do things because of that. Amari doesn’t really have an idol, but does art because she enjoys it and started drawing because she found it fun and is good at drawing.

Having a career as an artist isn’t something that would be her go to job, but more like a back-up job. Though she isn’t considering a job as an artist, she gravitates towards jobs that somehow incorporate art or seem like fun. Being something like a lawyer or architectural designer are jobs that interest her, because it is something different and has some relation to art.
