Messing Around with Art

"To succeed, work hard, never give up and above all cherish a magnificent obsession." -Walt Disney

I have never been one to be good at art. My mom and my sister are great artists, but then you have me in the house who was good at drawing little stick figures and nothing else. I even had character books showing step by step and I still couldn't draw it. I would get so frustrated and give up. I just never got the artists touch.

Despite my artistic abilities, I got bored one day and went to you-tube. On you-tube I decided to look up "how to draw Mickey Mouse step-by-step". I then grabbed some paper, my pencil, and a huge eraser for my mistakes. I knew I would have lots of them. So I took my time and followed each step pausing the video as I went. It took me a long time, but he turned out pretty good. After I finished Mickey I decided to try other Disney characters. Then I discovered the "Disney Parks" you-tube had step-by-step videos for many different characters from the Disney animations studio. I got so excited, so for a week or so I got really into drawing all the different characters. None of them are perfect, but for me not really being able to draw, I like the way they turned out.

Moral of the story, never say never. Even if you think you can't do something, just put your mind to it and you can accomplish anything. If you concentrate and take your time you can do it. It takes lots of practice for things, but the outcome is worth all of the hard work.

Here are pictures of my artwork.

Just Keep Swimming...

I am a big fan of Pixar. I like all of the Pixar movies, but I have two favorites, Finding Nemo and Monsters Inc. So when I found out there would be a sequel to Finding Nemo I was beyond excited. Of course I wasn't very patient with the years of waiting for it to come out. I mean come on I'm sure everyone was ready for it to be out already after all of the promos and advertisements for it. Now it is finally out and it is the big hype. It even broke records for opening weekend. I have seen it 3 times...oops. I saw it once with friends up at school in 2D, then came home and watched it in 3D (which was amazing), then the third time was at a drive in on my vacation in Tulsa, OK.

*Fun fact: I've only been to the drive in two times in my life, first time was to see Finding Nemo and second to see Finding Dory.*

I absolutely loved this movie. I think it is so cute and the story is great. It happens too often that the sequel isn't as good as the first, but I think this sequel is pretty darn close to being just as amazing. The new characters they introduce us to are so cute and funny. Each character has their own personality which helps you relate to them and understand their meaning in the story. We also get to see loads of old characters that we have loved since Finding Nemo. I loved the focus on Dory and her short term memory loss problem. The movie shows that even with a little set back you can overcome it. If you try your hardest and don't give up you can do whatever you dream and whatever your heart desires. Even though it may be hard sometimes push your limits and try everything you can to achieve your goals.

P.S. if you plan on seeing it in theaters stay until the very end, after the credits. There is a little scene you will enjoy.

Here is a brief introduction of myself. My name is Brenna. I am a senior in college and have a dream of one day working with the Disney company. Disney is one of my biggest passions and if I ever got to work for them one day I would be the happiest person. I major in Public Relations. I have been a HUGE fan of Disney ever since I can remember. My grandparents live in Orlando so I have been to Disney World quite a few times. Anything and everything Disney, you name it, I  love it. I have a big Disney collection in my house and it continues to grow. I would love to visit all of the Disney parks at least once in my life. I have no shame for my love of Disney. In fact I am known as the Disney lover in my friend group. Everyone just accepts my love of Disney. 

I originally created this blog as a class project. I decided I want to continue on writing posts for people who may like to read stuff like this. I want to write about anything related to Disney. About the parks, movies, books, anything you can think of, give suggestions if you would like. There is so much to write about and I want to share my passion with everyone on here that may be reading this blog.

I hope everyone enjoys my future posts and comments their opinions below. I would love to hear from everyone!
