back to the Pudding's Place

I love both singing and acting. When school starts again, I'll be in both choir and theatre, like I was last year. I don't have too much opportunity for either outside of school, though, except of course for the ability to sing, which I exercise very often. At the end of the school year, the theatre and choir departments will work together and do a musical, which excites me.

I played the piano for 4 years, until I had to quit because I was busy. I liked it, though.

I also learned a bit of recorder in elementary school, so I can play anything as long as the only notes it contains are B, A, and G. ;)

And I love eristic - basically, the art of creating a good argument just for the fun of it. This is not to be confused with the adjective form of eristic, which means arguing annoyingly just for the sake of argument (seriously, I looked it up in the dictionary, and they're 2 entirely different things). ;) So I'm entering debate next year, as well.

Art!  Great thread!

Do you mean just music, or is art a category including music and other art?

Assuming the last, I play violin, and DRAW ALOT, and sometimes paint, and sometimes sculpt, and what about writing as an art? ;)  Oh, and I just started taking an improv acting class, which is really fun!  But I still don't like to act other than that.  I get a lot of stage fright.

 

And, Ima, great idea to join the debate team!  If you talk as well as you write I'm sure you'll out-debate anyone!

I really like acting, and anything to do with theater really. In addition to acting I have helped with costumes and designed hair, moved props, and I hope to be on the set crew for Charlotte's Web in November. Most recently I have been involved in productions of Aladdin and Robin Hood.

I'm also decent at singing, and enjoy it. It would be cool to be in a musical, but I haven't been yet.

 

In other arts, I just finished my fourth year of piano, and am quite good with colored pencils. I just received a set of high-quality ones for my birthday (yay!), which I have been using to create some concept art for a live-action movie production of Aladdin. (Not a real movie, just what I would want some of the sets to look like if I was in charge of that department on a movie crew for Aladdin.) Oh yes, I am also obsessed with movies, and know far more about them than is probably good for me. :)

@ Amy: Thanks! I hope so!

If writing and art count as arts, I do those, too. I write, and I draw. Usually, I color my drawings with oil pastels. I like to draw plants, especially. My art isn't usually particularly creative, I suppose, but it's realistic.
