happiness and strength. And now that we're just here in our home art has been a big influence in
my life. Throughout this year I've been being a little creative. Thus, things I didn't do before was
the things that I'm doing now. And I can't help, but to be amazed myself.

culture, freedom, understanding and unity. Thus the reason why Art is popular. Art is
good because it makes a way for the Artist to release emotions, thoughts, feelings, and
