Brianna's Story

My passion is art.

I once drew a comic of three young girls, angrily. Two were whispering to each other mocking the girl behind them. Laughing to myself, I showed off my messy squiggles proudly, and a teacher called my mother. I prepared myself for punishment, and my mother simply burst out in hysterical laughter. Bewildered, I listened to her encouraging comments and she ended up saving my drawing. It took me a handful of years to comprehend why she did not punish me but encouraged me. I realized that instead of expressing myself in a violent form, I took this anger onto a blank paper. I used art as a coping mechanism, and transformed my irritation into a story. I discovered something new about myself: my surroundings inspire me. I am compelled to take out my pencils and draw. I associated this feeling, this urge, to an artist's passion.

Attending US Performing Arts Acting for the Camera will allow me to bring my comics to life and see art in a new perspective. One of the things I love to do is making comics: original characters, giving them personality, and then creating a story. By acting, I'll be able to bring the characters and stories I've creative to life. Being exposed to this different environment will be a chance for me to learn not only techniques but also developing a different perspective towards art.
