Art: Me Music: Experience by Ludovico Einaudi -- It is really tough to believe that I've been on Scratch for six years now. Well—five years, eleven months, and a couple of weeks, but who's counting, right? I figured if I didn't share it now, a little early, then I'd forget to do it at all. So, here's a project showcasing my artistic journey. Unfortunately, I wasn't really able to include any clips from the various PMVs and AMVs I've made over the years, so these are all MAP parts, but I think it works out well. Back when I started, in November of 2018, I was very young and very small. I know—hard to believe, right? Imagine ever being young. I loved to doodle away while I was taking very easy middle school classes and then later convert those to an online format, thinking I was so cool. I look back on those days fondly, but with a little embarrassment, because I was decidedly not cool. That being said, I'm still thankful for those days, because they helped me develop my skills. Now, six years later, I'm in college (which, as an aside, despite being infamously academically rigorous and in the top five PhD feeder schools in the US, somehow is far easier than the high school I attended… for some reason) and I've actually got more time than ever to draw. I'll be the first to admit I'm not an expert artist—not by any means. It's absolutely a hobby for me, just a fun activity to do in my free time, but I'm still hoping to improve, and maybe take an art class for the first time since 7th grade. Hopefully. So, anyway, ramble aside, I'm forever grateful for the years I've spent on Scratch. I've become increasingly inactive in the past few years, and I keep saying I'm going to leave Scratch, but I'm never able to pull the trigger on that, and I think I know why. Scratch has formed such a fundamental part of my creative life for so many years that I, quite literally, do not know how to function artistically without it. So, here's a thank you. I might be moving on as I get older, but I will remember the substantial part of my life that I have spent on Scratch. So, thanks! Thanks for being a consistent presence in my life.
