Hi, there, my name is Xiaocen, Jiao (If you feel like it’s hard to pronounce, just call me Rainie) who comes from China— an amazing country. I’m here today because I want to keep moving to my dream, till I really become her in one day. So my passion is drawing or letās say design. Ā I’ve leaned how to draw since I was 15 years old. MuchĀ earlier, when I was a primary girl, I wanted to be a fashion designer because that was the only career I know about design. I pretended Ā I have a Ā “clothes store”. I’ve done lots pieces of ākids worksā which were all about dresses, suits, princess,prince stuffs…That was my first experience involving design in my entire life.To be a fashion designer was my dream, like some kids like to say, theyĀ want to be scientists, teachers or doctors when they grow up. But how many of them really do what they have promised? Me neither. As I know more about design, I realize that fashion design is not my favorite. The more TV commercials I’ve watch, the more I know, I love commercials! So I choose advertising design as my major and to be a designer in the future. I’veĀ never been such close to my dream like right now. Even though I hesitated to learn something else, but now, I know art is the only thing I never give up.
I build my own aesthetic by appreciating paintings. I like galleries very much. In my opinion, when you’ve done a lot of art works, seen plenty of great famous art works, you’ll build your own aesthetics. The more you’ve done, the more unique style you’ll have. Ā This is my point because I believe it works. At least for me. Ā ImpressionismĀ is my favorite painting style. Vincent Willem Van Gogh is my favorite artist. I admire him, not only for what he’d painted, but also his miserable life. Sometimes I could feel his sadness in his works, every single line, every single symbol. I just stand in front of his work and be in a daze. Or sometimes feel sorry about why he ended his life so early.
Right now, I chose my selfie to be my avatar. I want people to feel like Iām a really cool person. I always think people who learn or work involve art are special or thoughtful. They are more different than someone in the streets. The huge vintage glasses makes me unique because not everyone wears the same size glasses. Iām not a fashion guy, but I like to try a cool thing sometimes.Ā However, because of the poker face, others may think Iām grumpyļ¼then youāre wrong. Sometimes I might not express very well, but Iām an easy going person. Iām the girl who can play games with guys.
When people see my profile, I hope them to think Iām a person who is working hard for being a designer. My profile will also be a recorder records every step Iāve processed. People say, āno pain, no gain.ā I want to become an example to prove those words.
In five years, I may further my study, or working in an advertisementĀ company as an internship. I’m not sure. I may get a little fame or achievements, but the future who knows. Ā I just want to keep close to my dream step by step.Ā I’m just one ofĀ normal human in the world who has a special soul in deep.
(BTW; I still struggle with English, hope you guys could inclusive me.ļ¼ļ¼)
Wow! I enjoyed reading your draft very much. I can really understand and feel the passion you have for art, which is awesome. Arts been with throughout your life and still want it with you.
I can sort of relate to this and I say sort of because before I was introduced to the art world, I was really interested in creative writing. I was so hooked on it that my mind would go crazy with so many ideas and stories that I have to write down. But when I turned 13, that changed obliviously when I began to draw more than writing.
Anyway, I’m not going to say I don’t undestand what your saying because I totally understand your feelings towards art and you want to keep going with your dreams. But you said you wanted to be a fashion designer when you were younger, did you change your mind about that original goal or you still want to pursue it?
Honestly thought this was well written as in the structure & details. You stayed on course with explaining yourself. I didn’t think anything was extraneous, just simple.
Great job! š
