BOOK FOUR

Isabel felt like she can accomplish anything. She made two friends in one day. When gym ended, her last period class was art. Art was her favorite class. She loved the idea of art. To her, it was the freedom of expression. Her art work was very intricate, there was a story behind every single one of her pieces. When she painted or drew, her mind was completely drawn to her art, none of her problems mattered when she was in her zone. It was as if she was in a whole other world when she was working on a piece. Isabel didn't like boundaries when it comes to her art work. She didn't like rules or regulations and her teacher Mr. Blake never set them. He allowed his students to spill their creative minds out on their canvases. Isabel called this type of art "negative art". Negative art was her favorite type of art. In negative art, the artist has all the control, there isn't a specific rule or pattern to the art. It can be whatever you want it to be. There aren't any boundaries to negative art and that's what Isabel loved about it the most. Mr. Blake was Isabel's favorite teacher, he understood her mindset and he never judged her about it. She trusted him and every time she needed to vent, she went to Mr. Blake. He was a really good teacher. Finally, the bell rang and it was time to go home. Isabel was ready to meet up with Joshua in front of the school. As she was packing up her stuff, a girl came up to her and said "Hey, I really like your painting, it's beautiful, what was your inspiration?" Isabel felt special for once, someone besides Mr. Blake actually appreciated her art. "Well, thank you so much, that means a lot to me, um, well, I didn't have an inspiration, I just went with the flow, used my creativity" "That's a really smart technique. I should start to do that. I usually look at images of sunsets or scenery and base my work off of them" "The best advice I can give is to let your creativity flow out of your mind, don't set any rules to your art, just do what you feel is right" "Thank you for the advice, have a nice day Isabel" "You're welcome, and you too, um I don't know your name, I'm sorry" "The name is Ana" "Oh okay, I'll see you tomorrow Ana" "Bye" Isabel walked outside of the school building and immediately saw Joshua out front. She approached him and began to walk to her house.
