I had a passion for art since I was younger. I still liked art now, but under the strain of loads of art homework, class projects, art lessons and some other reasons, art doesn't seem that important anymore in comparison with other subjects. I lost some interest in the subject at school, but at home art is still one of my hobbies.

I didn't like art much before, but now I'm finding it's more interesting than I think. But sometimes, art homework is a pressure for me because not only art homework, we also have different subject homework to do like Humanities, Science,... but to draw a completely artwork it takes us a lot of time to finish it so it affects a lot to other subjects.

When I was younger, art was just something that I use to express my imaginations so I considered it as my hobby. But now as I grow older, I don't find it as amusing as I used to get when someone lays a paper in front of me asking me to draw something since I worry about how straight the line is or will people secretly judge of how it looks like.

When i was younger, i liked art. I don't remember the exact age when i started art but the art was interesting for me. I could express my ideas, thoughts, or perspectives on paper. The art made me to imagine new things. Now, i still like art but the concept of art is different. I thought the art was my creativity. My opinion could be wrong but i feel like the art has changed. When i draw or paint, most people only seek the beauty of my work. They try to find the one that looks good. Of course, my work should look good. However, i think the art is being accepted as some kind of allure or grace of our society. Nowadays, the paintings look all the same. They have fantastic artistry, splendid colors, etc. Others could disagree with me but in my point of view, i don't usually see any creativity of art these days.

When I was younger, art wasn't my hobby, it was just a subject I have in school. After all those time, it still remain the same and as I get older, there are more homeworks being given out from different subjects, this is probably one of the reasons why I don't find it much interesting. Art can also become pretty stressful when you're talking about grade and so if I have to choose the time I like art more than I'll choose the time when I was young.

I liked art more when I was younger. This is because as a young child, I had wild imaginations and loved to see true colors, and never really experienced true art. Seeing new paintings with extreme colors was an inspiration and new to me, which really excited me. But over the years, I get pressured and stressed by art homework, which made me lost a bit of interest in Art. Paintings are more common and not very unique and "new" to me anymore, as it was when I was at a younger stage. Although I am less interested in Art over the years, I still like art to this day, and I am still interested in art, with everything it offers.

I didn't like Art really much when I was little. I thought that Art was just a normal subject and Do we need to study that subject? Then I moved to a new school when I was 12. In that school, every subjects were really important and I had a test in Art, then I got a really low marks so I practiced and practiced. So now, I like Art but I prefer painting than drawing. Sometime, I have lots of homework in Art so I can't do it really good.

When I was young, I just did Art because it is my subject in my school. But when I grow older, I think Art is more interested than when I was young. I get to do more interesting projects and tasks, but Art is also harder than when I was young. If you did a creative and pretty artwork, you will get a good grade, but if you did not do it well, then you will receive a low score.

When I was younger , I did had a passion for art , it did started when I just a 4 year old girl . It was my first time using pencil and colour pencil to draw picture of a flower . My mom and my sister was always tried to encourage me to be artist when I grow up . Then , I started to searching and searching more about art , finding some of the famous artist around the world , visited many of the art museum , it just made me feel creativity. And now every time that I had art class I usually using my imagination and creativity to finish the artwork on time .

So until now I felt it as not as interesting as it use to be because I am struggling even more in art as I used to before. If I was better at art, I would surely enjoy it a lot more.

I didn't like art before when I was young compared to now. I drew for birthday or holiday cards but I didn't really found it interesting as a hobby and only did it when necessary. I don't think I really changed growing up either, and don't usually choose drawing first in my free time. I guess the reason is the pressure and requirements in art that I can not reach because I have little times I get inspired, and don't work well with color. Mostly color pencils.

I like art every since I was young. I enjoyed drawings, making clay and coloring. The best part of it is I am more expressive in my drawings. I like to draw Japanese characters. I'm more inclined in art because it made me more artistic. It made me realize that I like art now more than when I was young.

Loved it when i was young, cuz even a few doodles and messy lines would be counted as beautiful art. It was so easy to feel inspired but due all those deadlines and requirements, my passion for Art kinda faded. Kinda sad though :(

I always like art since I was small. Art is my hobby and it makes me feel comfortable and creative. I'm not really good at realistic art, but I really love to doodle and draw cartoons. I draw every day to improve my skills and technique. I'm not really good at colouring so I went to different art schools to help me with it.
