You might say Corrupt Angel is a strange pseudonym, but it has followed me for some time now. It has become my alternate persona for almost as long as I can remember. People have always said I look so sweet and innocent, like an angel, but upon knowing me realize that I am anything but. Believe me, this does not mean I'm evil or bad, just that I am not what I seem. I am outspoken and not timid once I feel comfortable around someone; hence I am an angel that is not to be messed with ;).
Lately, I have decided to act upon my beliefs and not lay dormant any longer. I think it is time that I stood up for what I believe in and spread the word. Open the eyes of those who cross my path. I know this sounds so intimidating, but trust me I am just zealous about change. The world needs it, I need it.
I'm going to start small; fore I am just one person out here in the world, on the Internet. Hey, it all starts small and we all have to start somewhere. I just want to better myself, my immediate surroundings, and my community one step at a time. I think my eyes first opened when I decided I wanted to teach......to inspire someone else for a change.
Corrupt Angel is born!
I am a post-undergraduate student at CSU- Stanislaus in the Teaching Credential program. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Art History from UC- Berkeley and an Associate's Degree in Art from Modesto Junior College. My work has mostly involved drawing and sketching of the human form so I am trying to understand different media and how they relate to communication. My ultimate goal is to become a high school Art teacher in the public school system. I feel that Art is an excellent outlet for young adults' sense of expression.
This week was my first week at CSU- Stanislaus. I was extremely nervous and felt out of place. I'm hoping that I do well in all my classes. It's a totally different environment than I've been in as of late and I feel like I'm out of touch with my "student" side.
I keep reminding myself that I will get back into the swing of things and soon enough I'll just be enjoying my studies and life as a student again. Minus all the nervousness that is, hahaha! I can't wait to be a teacher. I have nothing but fond memories of being in Art class and hope that I'll be just as good of an art teacher as the ones that inspired me so long ago.
Below is a sketch that I started recently. It is a self-portrait done in pencil:
