My name is Ahleah Hernandez and I am going to embark on the long prosperous journey of art. Ever since I was a little kid I have been doing or making something artistic. My favorite past times as a child was to make finger paintings of landscapes or drawings of my whatever my favorite things were at that time. I went to an arts and humanities school for ten years and art was always incorporated somehow into our school work. We were always praised for being creative and often encouraged to let our imagination fuel our work. Since then I have improved my art skills a lot. In high school, art is still my favorite class and I often find that I invest myself in art class the most. I'm glad that we are now allowed to choose our own themes for our art projects and we have more freedom in what we make. All of my art projects are very personal and they all have to do with something about me or things that have happened to me during my life. This makes it easier for me to do these art projects because I have a personal message that I can get out through them and its a nice way to expose some of my secrets and feelings. So people viewing my art can kind of get to know me.
