Art is something I have always loved! Whenever I feel like, I go to my room and start drawing, painting, doodling, and making crafts. I dream of becoming an artist.
During the lockdown, I could not go out to play with my friends or attend any of my sports classes. I was so bored with only color painting and making origami that I was looking for new ideas and saw that there were old newspapers at home. I was checking youtube videos for newspaper crafts. I came across some ideas that I was interested in and started making my own designs. The materials that I used are newspapers, glue guns, old cd’s, glue, fabric paint, and cardboards. I spent most of my lockdown time creating paper models. I had to make a few blueprints before I could make the final design. Since my parents were busy working from home, I created these on my own. I received a lot of appreciation from my relatives and friends. I was so happy; I created my own youtube videos to teach other children (https://youtu.be/5ioxp5hfurE).
There were days I sat till midnight to finish some of the models. Now that I know the newspaper art trick, I am able to make several different designs. I am currently working on a Giant Dragon.”
