Here is a little more about Marta:

-Why do you enjoy art?
Because it’s something I am good at and it’s relaxing. I like all the stuff that I can do with it. I can express myself in many ways.

-When did you start painting or drawing?
I started painting when I was little but only painted trees. In 6th grade I went to art class and the teacher told me that I should go to the art high school and taught me different art secrets and techniques.

-What do you enjoy most, painting or drawing? Why?
I think painting because I like the colors and to work with the colors.

-What would you like to do after you graduate high school?
I would like to be an art teacher for middle school because the kids are creative at that age: not too little and not too old to be bored. I can make a lot of crafts with them. It’s the perfect age. I enjoy making crafts and teaching it as well.
