A Long Paragraph about Myself.

Even though I spend all of my time dancing and working on homework, I find I am intrigued and inspired the most when I draw and paint. Art acts as my religion, while drawing and painting act as my form of worship, of relaxation. I need a chance to relax once in a while, a chance to reflect and to restart. I need a break from my hectic schedule. Painting and drawing, I feel, serves that very purpose. My notebooks from past years are covered with little doodles and twirly-gigs, my binders labeled with big letters and pictures. I have dozens of diaries at home reserved for sketching and I've even drawn little flowers on m pants. I've recently started to tie-dye shirts and sweatshirts, finding that intriguing and inspiring as well. I've studied my mom's paintings and even some of her friend's works. I've read "How-to" books and traced famous paintings to sharpen my skills. I've also tried to copy the fashions celebrities wear, toning them down a bit, making them less "abstract" and more wearable. But when it comes right down to it, my favorite way of relaxing is picking up a paintbrush, or a pencil, and just marking up that canvas or piece of paper. Therefore, one word to describe myself would be artistic.
