*Artistic Statement*

      Writing this artistic statement is difficult because there isn't just one way to define art.  Art can be described and expressed in so many different ways.  When I try to think of one form of art that has my complete and devoted attention, I simply can't, but if I had to cut it down to a few, it would be food, dance, and fashion.  These three forms of art have been a part of my life since before I can remember.  Each has a special place in my heart, and each has a different way of expression. 
       Food is one of my main passions.  I am a food junkie, and watch the Food Network religiously.  One of my main aspirations in life is to work for the Food Network.  I'm not exactly sure what position I'd liked to work in as of yet, but I know that food is my first passion, and one day I'll get there.  When I was younger, I never understood food as an art, but now I've realized that through food, you're expressing your emotions.  When you cook for your family and friends, it's all about the love you have for them, wanting to satisfy them, and make them feel at home.  Food, for me, is an art.  Whether you are a chef, photographer, etc., food can be defined and expressed in a beautiful and creative way.  I'm hoping to advance technically in my studies.  I'm here to learn and grow, and that's exactly what I hope to do in this class.
