Hi, my name is America. I am a senior majoring in Communication with a concentration in Critical Media Studies. I have always been passionate about film and video art, but I’ve also enjoyed drawing and painting since I was little. I took a couple of art classes in high school, but this is my first art course in St. Edward’s. Since this is my last semester, I thought I should at least take one art course before I graduate because it’s something I really enjoy and want to get better at.

I think drawing is something that I do every single day, whether it’s doodling in my notebook or sketching in my journal. Drawing is also important when it comes to film and video, at least for me. I always draw out what I want each shot to look like before I begin editing. I also want to get into incorporating more animation into my videos, and being at least a little bit skilled at drawing is important.
