To some, art can be something with no meaning behind it. But to others, art can be something that has significant meaning.<\/p>\n

\u00a0It can be hard for students to feel confident when it comes to their art work. For example when asked \u201cDo you feel confident when it comes to drawing, painting, etc.? Why or why not?\u201d freshman Leonardo Baca said, \u201c No, because when I look at other people\u2019s work and can not manipulate the exact look, I can\u2019t call myself an artist.\u201d But other students can feel confident when it comes to their art work. For example, freshman Sara Bradley answered, \u201cYes, I do feel very confident when it comes to anything that has to deal with any art related subject because I am a very artistic person who loves to look at or even create art.\u201d It depends on the person to see whether or not he or she is confident in art.<\/p>\n

People look at their art work and see failure, but others can see a masterpiece that means something. That is why students were then asked \u201cDo you think art has a special meaning behind it? If so does everything in art have a special meaning?\u201d Senior Gianella Cerriteno said, \u201cArt has many meanings to many people but to me it means freedom of speech and a freedom of showing how you feel when you can’t speak out for yourself.\u201d Cerriteno also said \u201cArt helps me actually be a better songwriter, musician, and person as well.\u201d Baca says \u201cArt influences me to be better at drawing pictures, I want to be an expert and live up to my name.\u201d<\/p>\n

People have a \u00a0certain way of doing things when it comes to drawing, painting, and the arts. That is why the students when also asked, \u201cDo you have a certain way of doing things when it comes to art? If so what are they and how do they help you?\u201d Bradley answered, \u201cYes, I mostly create paper sculpting, but I cut all the colored paper up and sometimes most of my artwork has a lot of smaller details. Some people even wonder a lot on how I do it all, I just say “I just do it.” I taught myself on how to create my own art in my own way, I wanted to do something different, something that I love to create that has meaning.\u201d Baca said, \u201cI am someone who is sketchy, I try to make the shape, and go on and add the rest as I draw.\u201d<\/p>\n

When it comes to art, people can have a certain way of doing things. Certain people will look at their art and think it is a masterpiece. Others will see failure. People will look at art and it will influence them, or they will see meaning behind it. But in reality, it really just depends on the person.<\/p>\n
