I’m never good when it comes to these things. I always wonder what I can write about myself. What sounds interesting about me? Are things I’m talking about too personal? Is what I’m writing gripping? At this point, I’ve already written this beginning part six times. I don’t know where to start, or what to tell you. All I do know, is that I want to show my personality and passion within these blogs, without it sounding self-loathing, or ‘I’m not interesting enough’. The truth is, I don’t think I’m interesting because everyone else usually has a more exciting story to tell about heroism and adventures, and then... well then there’s me.
I'm Hannah, but you’ve probably already read the bio bit on this blog. I’m from the North West of England. And like everyone else on the course I’m taking, Game Art Design, I like art and video games. Spoiler! I've played video games and drawn from a very young age, so art has always been something I tried to improve on, both in my spare time and through education. I got an A* in graphic design and a C in Art in GCSE. I went on to do Product Design in sixth form, only to come out with an AS level of C. I then dropped out, and went to college to do a BTEC Graphic Design Extended Dipolma. I came out with three distinction stars. But during this time in college, a lot about me changed. I became more confident, met people I never want to lose contact with, participated in fairs selling postcards I made and now, generally being able to speak my mind. This may seem petty to you, something you wouldn't call "achievements", but as I find myself sitting here, typing this out, two years ago, if you told me I would be in University, living in a flat with people I've only known for three weeks, and have met people that share such similar likes and dislikes to me, I would have thought you were out of your mind. And that's a fraction of my life, the short story about me. The longer story will come out in time, smaller bits may filter into this blog, but for now, that's really all you need to know about me.
But, I will leave you with one more thing; a dream. Well, I would like to call it a goal, but I feel it’s too far away from me at the moment, maybe someday in the future I could call it that. My dream was too become an artist... and a forensic scientist, but that didn’t happen.
I want to forge a world, a world full of people, a world full of environments, a world full of animals, politics, plants. I want to make beauty, I want to make horror, I want to make a scene where you could look far into the horizon and see the world created, open up.
At the moment, I feel pretty unremarkable, but I really want my art to be the opposite.
