Art

As a student in Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA) I'd learnt so many things that I never expected before. Sometimes I'm enjoying it but sometimes I'm struggling. Sometimes I doubted whether is it the right thing for me to study here. But as the time gone by, little by little my feared disappeared as I now become more and more enjoying it. I think I doubted my decision to come to NAFA just because I haven't accustomed to a new place and the new environment here but there's also other thing that make me doubt my decision is that many people said to me why to study in art school. They said that we can't earn money from art. My friends parents also didn't allow their child to study art. WHY??? Yeah I know different people have different perspective of doing things but the art people also can have a living right? Although it's hard but as long as we have effort in doing it, we can achieve it. As you can see many art people whether is it a performing art people or a visual art people have became well known in the world.

Ludwig van Beethoven

Beethoven was a German composer and pianist. He was born in Bonn and was a student of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. In about 1800 his hearing began to deteriorate, and by the last decade of his life he was almost totally deaf. He gave up conducting and performing in public but continued to compose, many of his most admired works come from this period. So as you can see, even though he is deaf he can still  composed and because of his effort he became one of a very well known musician in the history.

Angela Isadora Duncan

                                

 

She was an American dancer. Breaking with convention, she traced the art of dance back to its roots as a sacred art. She developed within this idea, free and natural movements inspired by the classical Greek arts, folk dances, social dances, nature and natural forces as well as an approach to the new American athleticism which included skipping, running, jumping, leaping and tossing. But her dance was being criticized by the social community because at that time all dancer dance ballet so her improvised dance wasn't been received well. Without giving up, she tried to apply into a dance company but she was rejected again and again. But after some time she found the company that accept her dance and after that she travelled around and become more well known.

 

Both of the short inspirational story that make me sure about my decision to further my study about art. Once I knew this story, I knew what is my passion and I'm sure with a lot of effort I can achieve my dream. So guys, for anyone who one to learn art or anything else that aren't accepted by the public, don't hesitate as long as it's the right positive thing to do because only you can achieve your own dream.
