I was a child prodigy. Like Michelangelo, who could draw a perfect circle at age five. I was extremely gifted. I could paint a perfect portrait of someone at age five.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was always the kid who could draw. I had this talent, and it was the one thing that gave me some kind of dignity in the midst of my personal environment.
I was a visual artist primarily and a writer, even from a very young age.
I knew I wanted to be an artist at age 5 or 6. I always drew. At 8, I was permitted to study.
When I was in high school, I thought I might be an artist. I was very good at drawing and painting.
From the age of six I wanted to be an artist. At that point I meant a painter, but it turned out what I really meant was I was someone who was very interested in watching the world and making copies of it.
When I was young, I wanted to be a writer or painter. I was always writing stories, and I excelled at drawing. My teachers encouraged my art work. When I was 9 or 10, I began learning piano and started writing music.
I was raised to be a girl Michelangelo.
It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child.
When I was growing up, I wanted to be a house painter like my father, but I was always screwing up when I went to work with him. I had a talent for knocking over paint and painting myself into corners. I also realized fairly quickly that painting bored me.
I tried painting for a short time and realized that I was not a child prodigy at painting.
