My name is Savanna Collier and I am a 19-year-old female. I was born in Lakeland, Florida and then moved to Ft. Campbell, Kentucky when I was 4-years-old. In 2011, I moved to North Pole, Alaska due to my father being in the military. I have lived here ever since then and I have very much enjoyed it. Currently, I’m enrolled as a full-time sophomore student at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. My studies include Associates of Applied Sciences in Nursing and Associates of Arts. My major is Pre-major Nursing at the moment, but this spring I will be applying to the AAS nursing program in Kenai, Alaska. I’m also employed at Pagoda Restaurant in North Pole as a part-time busser. I enjoy being outdoors and doing exciting activities in the summer and winter seasons. I also love to binge watch my favorite shows on Netflix on my lazy days. I’m looking forward to taking this course and learning more about the different arts.
I have never had a huge inspiration for art, but I do enjoy looking at certain pieces and listening to music. When I was younger, I always wanted to draw or paint something, but I felt that I wasn’t that good, so I quit doing it. However, I still like to doodle and color in one of those “adult” coloring books. I’ve only been to two art museums, so I feel that I have not experienced the full effect. Although, it would be fun and interesting to go to one and actually study the art and the artists.
This website provides a ton of information on the different types of art styles and movements that have shaped the art world. The arts range from Impressionism to Surrealism.

Dear Savanna, my father was in the military too! I lived in Alaska for a time when I was younger and continue to visit the state as a vacation site to see old friends I left behind. I have not met you but I have deep respect for you already simply because you wish to be a healer. To me, that is one of the most admirable jobs on this planet. I love being outdoors as well!
I hope that one day you decide to pick up a paint brush and paint. Who cares if you’re “no good”? In my personal opinion, there is no such thing as a good or bad piece of art. What is ugly to you is beautiful to someone else. Take the art piece you chose to share for example. Where I happen to agree with you that this piece of art is beautiful and I love the colours, someone else could disagree completely with us and think it is hideous.

I don’t have a strong connection to art either. I did find the picture of the giraffe pretty interesting though, as it has many colors and shapes in it.

I really like the use of colors in the painting, it gives me a sense of awe. This art work would be the perfect piece to have in any household or art museum.
