It's Me
Drawing is my passion , Its been three years . There's always something stays in my mind .
(Flashback ) -( while looking back at her old sketches ) , ( drawing on a easel )
I born in a successful family , all of them were doctor, lawyer . My sister and brother graduate from a lawyer school . My parents hates what i do , they do not support on what i do .
My mom had been tore my artworks and sketches away , i remember she burn them , tore them .
But , the more my mom tore them, the more art pieces i create , i draw
Yes , i know i might sound very disobey . I tried to escape from home for a few times . I always tries to obey them , i tries to follow what they want me to be , but it just could work out .
Finally , my parents got tired of me because of i always tries to escape from home . They finally promised me to send me to art school . Yes , i pretty happy about it , it might sounds great . But it was all nightmare .
We were told by our teachers in the school , we have 3 limitation , first : no drawing nudes , body figures ( it is a very disturbing art ) , second : we only allow to draw pretty arts , but not ugly ones , third : we have to obey the school , wear the uniforms they gave )
If we did not obey the school , we might get into punishment , we might get suspended , worst come to worst , we might get kicked out from the school .
First day of school started really well , but i have not much friends . All my dreams is to become a famous artist . I want to be as famous as Jenny Saville. She's famous for drawing nudes , body figure . I know it sounds wrong . I know is illegal to draw nudes in arts school , i know I'm disobeying the visual law . But arts is about freedom , why should we have limitation ? i have my own opinion , i doesnt want to follow others . I just want to be myself .
Well ,i have not much friends . But a girl name Deborah , she's a nice girl , a sweet lady . She draws perfectly , she obey the school law . We were best friends , i told her everything , i trust her really much .
I kinda feels something going on between me and her . She's always interested in what I'm saying , i told her im different form the others ( Deboarah , she fell for the girl , she like her so much , because on how different she is , she have he own opinion . )
I like her , I'm happy when I'm around her . She seems my happy pill . But times goes by , everything started to goes wrong . I trust her , i told her about my plans on having a small exhibition about my drawings , I want to let more people know about me , i want to bring out my arts , i want to let people know arts i all about freedom . i want to let people know we shouldn't hide our bodies , nudes are beautiful . i want to let people know monsters aren't scary , they are beautiful . We shouldn't judge a monster base on the rumours ,everyone saying monsters are scary . They are not.
She argue with me , she says is too dangerous for me , i might get into trouble if i got caught by the authorities . I convince her , try to tell her ill be a alright. She tries to stop me . But i just won't listen a word from her , because i want my exhibition to be continue . I do not care about the laws .
We had a conflict between our own thoughts , she decide to follow the laws , instead of supporting me .
I lose someone who i love , who i trust . she does not support on what i want to become .
My exhibition goes on , people who came in , were so intrested about it . i even had a conversation with few students , they weren't from a art school , but they had the same thought as me . They love nudes , they draw them on sketchbooks as well .
Suddenly , while I'm enjoying my happiest moment with the guest , the authorities found out my secret exhibition . They rushed into my exhibition and pulled me out .They took me to the discussed room . The judge ask peoples who went to my exhibition , asking the if they support my thoughts . No one help me , no one answer them . they kept quietly . I found out who told the authorities , it was deborah , she betrayed me . i hate her a lot , she ruins my dream .
I was send to a teens educated centre , i was being lifeless at the moment . Not long after , i was called into the court again , but this time , every one speak up . Everyone started to say they had sketches some pictures related to nudes , one by one everyone start to speak up . Im so shocked by what had happen .
The judge is shocked by what had happened . Everyone started to argue and starts a riots about nudes aren't disturbing , they aren't bad , they are arts . We should draw what we want ,
ut is not , is a special and beautiful art .The body is flawlessly flawed, and as such represents the true nature of a person immortalized in the painting, sculpture, or a photograph.
I was rescue by everyone who supports on my idea , my thoughts. I was rescue out of the court . i was took out of the court , they even had a fight in the discussed room
It started a war , everyone wants to be freedom . Everyone wants to share their ideas on nudes art.
There are more and more people supports on the nudes arts . They think the bodies are really beautiful .
Not long after , the government did not approved on nudes arts , they still thinks they are dirty . But we didn't care , we as a artist we should stay in our mind ., we should have our belief , shouldn't care about what other people say ..
Since after that , i never see Deborah anymore , but i heard she was married , she was sent to new york to study .
I had my dreams goes on , i opened a classes about body figures , monsters, teaching them how to be a nudes artist , teaching them about bodies are beautiful , they are natural.
Finally , i was happy that more and more people started to have open their mind on nudes art .
From the hard time i had till today , everything is worth it . I fight for myself till today , ill still continue on my dream.
