I think I have taken a art class from the time I started school to when I graduated from college, I still 'take classes' when ever I try my hand at something new or try and better my art. My passion for Graphic Design though came out in high school and has not wavered. Though some don't see it as actual art cause its 'on a computer', that's not true. It is art and just as hard if not harder because you have to learn programs and still tone your hand and eye in fine art skills. Though I want to focus on graphic design, I have studied and practice in other mediums so that I am a well  rounded artist. I have even taught elementary art classes and written art curriculum.
