Let me introduce myself. My name is Julia. I`m a second-year student of the faculty of Psychology and Social Work. In future I`ll be a specialist of social work. I`d like to hope that my hobbies will useful in my work.
So, I`ve got some hobbies: music, roller-skating, dancing. But my favorite hobby is art. I like drawing very much. In my opinion, when a person draws, he is able to what he wishes. Everything can be used for painting. A lot of tools are available. As for me, I draw in pencil, paint in water-colours or with my fingers. I draw either black-white or coloured pictures. It depends on my mood. I use watercolour, gouache, pencil.
I am fond of drawing portraits. Sometimes I draw animals and natural surroundings. As a rule I do it for myself, but from time to time I participate in different contests, or because my friends ask me to paint something for them.
I began to draw when I was 15. My teacher of art helped me to reveal my love towards art. I was eager to draw and I took a pencil in my hand and created something what I had wanted. I didn`t attend any art school. I just read books and tried to understand the rules of painting by myself.
It`s not a secret that art is very helpful for people of different ages, especially for children. It develops manual dexterity and imagination. Art is used as art therapy in social work. Social workers help people to solve their problems but sometimes it`s very difficult for clients to talk about their difficulties. So, drawing may help a specialist to communicate with clients. Art therapy is self-expression, so it helps to create the atmosphere of trust, tolerance and attention to a man`s mental world. Maybe it will be a way to open somebody`s creative abilities. Besides, painting is the source of positive emotions and it heals the soul.
As I`ve already said I enjoy drawing very much, so I hope I will be a success in using this method in my future work. On the other hand, it`s interesting for me to watch what people draw and what they want to express by this. I will try to improve my skills too and to assimilate the experience in other techniques. There is no limit to self-improvement!
