Hello, my name is Sophia Meade and I go to Bak MSOA. I am in 8th grade and I have learned so much throughout my years at Bak. I came to this school after being forced to draw things I didn’t want to; like how to draw a pair that wasn’t even in front of me. After my first project in my 2D art class in 6th grade, I found my true potential, because I was allowed to use my creative imagination. I have learned skills to help me improve like, composition, measuring, and blending, while still having freedom in what I want to do. When I draw or paint, it calms me and I don’t need to worry about anything else, it challenges me, and most importantly it makes me happy. I love doing what I do, inside of bak and I hope I can continue somewhere that makes me feel the same way that I feel at Bak, or that will make me challenge myself even harder.
