Emily Corbett

Artist's Statement:

My name is Emily Corbett. I am eighteen years old, and a senior in highschool. My life as an artist began when I was six years old, and it continues to this day. I have always enjoyed creating any kind of art. In my art my favorite thing to do is drawing, and painting. I prefer art that uses crazy amounts of bright colors. I love seeing and doing art that uses so much color. The color the art uses shows emotions and feelings, and in my art I like to show bright and happy emotions. 

I create art because it is something that you can not do wrong. No one can tell you that you did that wrong, or that it is not right. It also is something that has no instructions. You can paint whatever you want or feel like painting, and draw whoever or whatever. Art is also something that can be public or private. It can be kept to yourself or shared with others, it is your choice. Art is something that you can do what you want to do, it is made for you to enjoy for yourself.

In the past art was my favorite part of my day. Listening to music, getting a break from my classes, and getting to have fun creating art. This is what got me interested in art, making me want to continue it into high school, and now onto college. In my future I hope to continue to do art for the next few years. If it is not in classes then to use my free time with something I enjoy and that calms me. 

I enjoy doing any kind of art, whether it's drawing, painting, etc. This past year I have been studying many artists. I have been learning all about the artists, using their artwork to paint, and to inspire me in creating my own art. Out of all the artists I have studied, Picasso has been my favorite this year. Picasso has inspired me in many ways, through the color he uses, and the objects he paints. In my art I hope to create artwork I can share with others, and also enjoy myself.
