Art - Year One: The Visual Arts Part One - An Introduction To The Arts

Dear "The Arts" Diary,

Hi! I'm Ilara "Aspen" Arrowood! My mom's a Seawing and my dad's a Silkwing! I'm 11 right now, and I just came to Jade Mountain. It looks so new and exciting! I'm sure I'll learn tons of new stuff here. I might be a mite (pun intended) homesick though... Dad came to Pyrrhia to learn more about the Pyrrhian dragons, and our family lived together on a little island a little off from the Kingdom of the Sea, where Mom worked as a guard in the palace. I have a little sister, Amber. Oh dear me, am I rambling?

Anyways, let me get back to the assignment. I'm in the Copper Winglet! I might look a little foolish at times, and I get sugar high easily, but Mom always said that I had the sharpest brain in the family :D. I've decided to take this class because I don't usually do anything artistic - I'm more of a tomboy-bookworm-eccentric-inventor type of dragon, rather than the artsy type. It'll be fun to learn more about something new! I'm sure of it! I don't really have any expectations - I don't like to be let down. Still, I expect that I'll be able to tell different kinds of art apart. I hope to learn how to build buildings. When I grow up, I want to design my own home!


Like I said before, I've never really had a passion for art, so a lot of what I'll learn will be a first. I think it'll be so much fun! I love learning new things! I was a bit intimidated by Preceptor Wynters, but I think it'll be fine. 
 

Hmm... one interesting fact about me? I don't really have any interesting talents or attributes... I'm really an average dragon! The dragon-next-door! But... well, I guess there was this one time where Dad took me to visit Pantala when I was six and I underwent my Metamorphosis there! Wait... but that's not really special. Hmm... well........ OH! I remember! In honor of my last name, Dad taught me how to shoot a bow and arrow in dragon form!
 

That's it for today!

Dragonly-Awesomely Yours,

Ilara "Aspen" Arrowood
