Art Outreach That Revealed True Life Story of Drawings

Transcript message from Audio.

My name is Eniola Daniel and l’m here to tell you how passionate l am in drawings.

It’s all started when l was in a training. Our class teacher always gives us test saying that we should draw a first Aid box. So l took my pencil and l draw a square and l just put a cross on it. Then l submitted my note.

Only for me to turn back and sees someone else drawings looking so fantastic and well done. I got angry and l knew l couldn’t go back again to take my book and write the test again. So l went home and asked my Dad? Dad. How do you think l can be able to draw. So my dad told me that all you need to do is just to observe the drawings very well and follow the lines. So there on l continue drawing and drawing. I draw to the extent that even anything else does not seems important to me in my spare time.

Whenever l’m not doing anything l draw. So then my mummy told me that since you’re very good at drawing. Would you like to be an artist? I said Yes!, she said ...decided to look for an art studio where about.

So l went to art school for about three months. I was only free there in the morning because was also around to see her.

So l went to art school for about three months for journey. It was just quite journey. You know staying outside to drawing in the streets for 9am to 6pm is not something you say waiting under the sun. Drawing, going from streets to streets drawing and saying inside. Even waking up in the midnight by 12 midnight, 2. Only for you to stand and be watching and be watching your teacher, teaching you how to draw. And one of the most passionate drawings am very interested in, is pen drawings and l am going to be a pen artist when I grow up.

Thank you.
