WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Before art, “I thought I was going to not do things right and do everything wrong.” After art, “I realized that there are some challenges but I became better at art.”
What I learned in art is about story making. When I was involved in art is when I made a story.
What I learned in art is that people make mistakes. In art when I am involved I try my best and never give up.
