Hello! My name is Lauren Park and I attend Texas State University in San Marcos, Texas. I’m originally from Dallas which is where the rest of my immediate family currently resides. Dallas will always have my heart. I major in Electronic Media and minor in Theatre within the school of Mass Communications. I love art and I believe I receive most of my creative energy through my dad’s genetics. I also love to write, and I hope to write and direct live production and theatre in my future.
That’s where I came up with the idea and title for this blog. Being so focused in school, drawing simply cannot be on my radar too often. The word “Artword” is a play on words for “Artwork”. Basically, my blog will consist of my original Artwork but also have detailed descriptions of the idea behind each piece, the techniques I used, and other thoughts and stories that came to my head while creating every drawing.
Drawing is the area of art I focus in. I also don’t typically draw on paper as I prefer to draw digitally and completely in black & white. This has been my preferred style for a couple of years now and I’m finally feeling confident enough in my own work to not only share it publicly on a blog but also make it a bigger priority in my life. Completing my assignments in school and receiving good grades and feedback makes me feel happy, however stress will always come along with college. Drawing is a sense of meditation and release of all this stress. It is my goal to find the balance between these two things.
I am excited to premier my artwork here on this blog and also write about everything that went into the creation. Once this blog gains momentum, I will also be looking forward to expanding my art posts outside of this domain. Perhaps Instagram, Facebook or Youtube. By using Youtube I could even begin posting tutorials. I hope this experience will improve my writing, my art, and my time management skills as well. To the readers of this blog, this is me and I hope you stick around and read whether you’re interested in art or not. This blog will welcome all personalities.
