Art VA
Cultural Influences
Traditions
I’m inspired by the traditions I grew up with—holidays, food, rituals, all of it can show up in my art.
Community
The people around me, my friends, neighbors, school, and online groups, influence what I think about and how I create.
Global art styles
I like learning from other cultures and their art—like Japanese manga, African patterns, or Indigenous symbols. It helps me grow as an artist.
Religion/spirituality
If I follow a religion or have spiritual beliefs, that might be in my art too—maybe through symbols, stories, or meanings that are important to me.
Identity
Contents
Self-image
I use art to show how I see myself, both on the outside and inside.Sometimes I draw what I feel like, even if it’s different from how I look.
Personal history
My background and life experiences shape the kind of art I make. Even small things from my past can show up in colors, shapes, or themes.
Beliefs & values
I express what I believe in through symbols or styles in my art. Whether it’s about fairness, kindness, or being bold, it comes out in what I create.
Heritage
My cultural background gives me inspiration, things like patterns, languages, or celebrations that are special to my family and community.
Expression
Contents:
Emotions
Art is how I let my feelings out. When I’m happy, sad, angry, or excited, I can show it without saying a word.
Style & symbolism
I have my own style, and I use symbols to say more than just what things look like. A heart might mean love, or fire might mean power or anger.
Mediums (paint, music, dance)
I don’t just draw, I might paint, dance, sing, or sculpt. Different types of art help me say different things.
Storytelling
Through my art, I tell stories. Some are about me, others about people I’ve imagined or things I care about. It’s my way of sharing a message.
