what I want to be

I have never settled on a specific thing that I want to do later in life. I have had many ideas but I have not stuck with them. For a while I wanted to be an Interior Designer. I rearranged my living room and was constantly switching up my room. I would still like to do this, but I think it would be hard coming up with so many different styles for every one of my clients. You would have to really know them to know their style and how to decorate their house. I also thought about an architectural model builder, although when I looked into it I realized there was a lot of math involved, which has never been a strong subject of mine. I  would still love to do this, but I'm not willing to do all the math classes to pursue in this. I also thought about mixed media, and am still currently debating it. I would love to do something with art advertisement, but again you would have to figure out so many different styles to relate to everyone, so I think that could be challenging. As you can see I'm still debating on what I want to be, but I have a lot of ideas and I think I   will take classes in college and make my decision then.

New Inspiration!!

 I get inspired by looking at abstracted artwork. Such as abstract sculptures, paintings, collages, drawings..whatever. I love seeing the lines and shapes people use and try to figure out the reason they used them the way they did. Looking at something that someone else has done, allows me to create a story myself about it. By doing this, I come up with my own idea, most of the time it being totally different then what I was originally looking at. I also like looking at the colors other people use and try and figure out why they used them, whether to set a certain mood or feeling, or if it just doesn't make any sense at all. Most of the time I have no clue why someone used the colors they used, but I like trying to think of some sort of feeling I'm supposed to get by looking at those colors, and it makes me come up with more ideas from the feeing I created myself from their picture.
