February Showcase

 

Mark O'Gorman 5th Year

I first became interested in art when I was in 2nd and 3rd class in primary school.
That was when I realsied that I was good. From then on I liked drawing and
I would draw regularly at home.I entered many art competitions when I was in
primary school and I did very well
in them. I got first place in most of them.

When I went into secondary school in Moyle Park, art became much more
interesting as I was taught new ways of approaching art, not just drawing. Art is
now my favourite subject in school and it is a good laugh as well. Everyone in art
gets along well and this results in an improvement as well. My main interest in
art started in school and I would not do as much art and would not be as interested
in it if we did not have regular art classes.

I like art and would like to continue doing art in the future. When I finish school I
would like to get a job so that I will not regret it in the future. Because I am intereted
in art I would like to try and get a job with art included. If you want to pursue a job
in art, such as graphic design, you have to go through art college. My art classes
in school are helping me to get there.
