I like art more than when I was younger because I think at that age, I was still finding out about the world of colours. But now, since I know all the colour names and see them a lot, I gradually grow bored of art. therefore, when I was younger, I like art better than now.

I didn't have an interest in art when I was a kid due to the fact that my grades in art were dead bottom, and that I lacked the patience and passion to actually sit down and work on an art piece. I was a creative but rather impulsive kid. However, now, I am more familiar with art and can take my time appreciating art.

I like art more than when I was young because when I was young, I did not know any skills such as painting watercolor, drawing with values and using diverse colors however, I have learned a lot of skills from art teachers, hence I know many skills more than when I was young. My drawings look better than drawings that I drew long time ago as well.

Picasso has a famous quote "Every child is an artist...the problem is staying an artist when you grow up." I think when we are kids we have no fear and are able to use our imagination with out any care of what others will think. As we get older we care what others think a lot more and this stifles kids freedom in art. I loved art as a kid in a different way than I love art now. I still love art, but think my imagination is not a good as it was when I was a kid.

I did like art when I wwas younger, because colour is very new to me and everything that is colourful is beautiful. But when I grow older I have seen the same amount of colour everywhere and everyday which I eventually get bored of it.

When I was young I remember taking a great interest in sketches. I used to spend lots of time sketching things, from my room to famous architectures to my favourite cartoon characters. Now when I'm grown up, I still like sketches but my life is now filled with other commitments like homework and projects, etc... The time I spent for art gradually decreases. However, I think I still enjoy Art like I used to when I was little.

For sure that i liked art more when i was younger because when i was younger no one could be better than me at drawing even my parents. When i was younger, in every drawing i made, people always gave me compliments. As i grow up, no one cares about how i draw and my styles ( except the teachers ). Even if i like art, they are not going to let me focus on it so i guess my childhood was better for art.

I love art more as I grew older because when I was young, I didn't know too many techniques or some art skills, I just draw it for fun so my art works weren't very good.

I did not enjoy art when I was younger because I was not not good at drawing and painting. I used to be depressed seeing all the amazing creations my friends made in art back in primary school and I couldn't even draw a proper human face. Gradually I spent more time drawing and painting and discovering how much colours there are besides standard colours such as red, blue, and green. Now, I really enjoy art, and I would do it all day at school if it's even possible.

As a young girl, I wasn't into the idea of art due to the fact that I was completely irritated by my careless use of colors. However, as I grow up, I tend to develop numerous interests in art mainly because I became more capable of controlling my hands as well as applying a wider range of colors on to my art.

I have liked and enjoyed art since I was young. At that time, I was able to draw anything that I want. However I can't draw like that these days. I don't know why I care about trivial things, even shpe of lines and that's why I can't draw something that I really like. So when I was young, I like art more than now.

I enjoy Art now more than I used to before, because having an Art class at school helps me relieve stress from overloaded work at school from other subjects. I think the time given for me to express myself at school is important as I gain confidence from my imperfect works displayed around the school.

I used to enjoy art when I was young, using all my money and clay, pencil, pens etc. to make a variety of artworks. As I got older I saw all the artworks that were done by other people in m age and felt there was no use on continuing art. So I gave up trying for a long time, and now I know I enjoy art because I always try to do my best and try something different from others.

I did not like art more when I was younger, in fact I disliked art a lot back then. I found it very difficult and I hated sharing my artworks to other people, because I was always comparing to the people that were better in my class.

I liked art better as a child. I had more of an imagination and as a child it was easier for me to express myself through art. Now I find it much more difficult since I my imagination is not as vivid plus it is hard to find time.
