என்று பலர் எழுத்துகளை ஆங்காங்கே தூவிக்கொண்டதுண்டு. சாரு மாதிரி ஒரு சிலரை ஓரிரண்டு வாசித்து விட்டு சுத்தமாகப்
புறந்தள்ளியதுமுண்டு.
ஒரு வாசிப்பாளனின் வாசிப்பின்
பரிணாமம் இப்படித்தானே அடுக்கடுக்காய் இருக்க முடியும்.
ஆனால் ஏதாவது ஒரு நடிகரைப்
பிடித்துப் போனால் தங்கள் ஆயுள் முழுவதும் அவரின் விசிறியாக மட்டுமே இருப்பது எப்படி? நான் இன்னும் அம்புலிமாமா கதைகளைப் படித்துக் கொண்டு, ‘ஆஹா .. என்னே கதைகள்... என்னா இஸ்டைலு .. என்று சொல்லிக் கொண்டிருந்தால்
என்னைப் பார்த்து சிரிக்க மாட்டார்களா? சிவாஜி மாதிரி இன்னும்
யாரும் நடிக்க முடியுமான்னு ஒரு கேள்வி மனதிற்குள் இருந்தாலும், இன்று அவர் படங்களைப் பார்த்து முன்பு போல் ரசிக்கமுடியவில்லை; ரசிக்க முடியாது. அடுத்தடுத்து யார் என்று தானே இருக்க வேண்டும்.
இல்லீங்க ... சின்னப் பிள்ளையிலிருந்தே எனக்கு அவரைத் தான்
(அவரை மட்டும் தான்) பிடிக்கும்னு யாரும் சொன்னால் ...
.... தள்ளி உட்கார்ந்து அவர்களை வேடிக்கை மட்டும் பார்க்கலாம்.

1267. JESSICA'S PORTFOLIO
2021-2022
Jessica’s
Portfolio
‘The beginning is the most important part of the work’
-PLATO
1.
About me!
My name is Jessica Shreya Jeganbose, and my portfolio is a representation of
all that I’ve accomplished, discovered,
created and learned
throughout my life. I’m a curious person who’s
always looking for new ways to improve myself. I’m
pretty good at connecting with people around me, whether we have anything in common or not-I
almost consider it an art. I prefer to be an organized
person and I frequently go through my day by making schedules and checklists.
My main motto is to keep pushing through no matter how hard it is, as the
results will be worth it. This portfolio contains a combination of everything
that I’ve done along with simple subtle stories!
02 How it all began
My Childhood
I was born in Madurai, and shortly moved to the USA where I
spent thenext seven years of my life .Ever since I was young I was brought up
in a bright and cheery environment, which pushed me to try different
things!
By the time I was seven I excelled at video games, puzzles,
pottery and was even learning Spanish! But more than anything else, I loved to
draw.
My grandfather decided to be my first believer and supporter
and opened a blog where he published all my childhood drawings. He would always
buy me plenty of art supplies to work with. It’s a simple start but it’s where
my story began and I wouldn’t change it for the world.
I was always the type to want to be perfect. I simply
wouldn’t wait for my skills to get better, I would work endlessly just to get
bette rand better in a short period of time. I was given a pair of roller
skates on my 7th
birthday and within twomonths I switched to roller
blades, an advanced level.
I had an eye for jewellery so I got a bead set and would never go
a day without making some kind of necklace or bracelet. I would see a
complicated drawing in my colouring book and would refuse to do anything else
until I finished that drawing.
When I was 16 I asked my dad for a guitar out of the blue-I
had never played or even touched a guitar beforehand!-but once I received it, I never put it down. I never
even went for classes! I would play for hours till my
fingers were red and sore and within two months I
exited the
‘beginner level’.
When I was 9,I moved back to my home country, India. It was a
scary process as I was not familiar with anything or anyone. Adjusting was hard and
frustrating, but to my surprise, art helped me. My art skills caught many
people’s attention and I made loads of friends. I even developed an obsession
with writing poems, and sometimes they would be featured in my school’s
magazines! I feel like this was the major turning point in my artistic journey,
as I had finally used my talents out there for the ‘real’ world!
03 Developing skills
Although I felt that I
was a pretty good
self taught mini ‘artist’, I wanted to learn it professionally. I joined
several art classes throughout the years, including Global Art.
Global Art is not just about drawing
and painting pictures. It's the art of teaching kids how to think creatively
using unique methods.
Global Art teaches you that Positive learning experience in art develops imagination,
promoting creativity and innovative thinking in a natural and man made world.
It also increases self-esteem, confidence in problem solving and logical
sequence of developing ideas.
From Global Art, I learned proper techniques on how to shade, colour and patch using
different art utensils!
4. Hobbies!
Relating
to art, I love journaling and scrapbooks! It’s such a creative way to pass the time
and is thought invoking and fun. Creating a theme
for each page, focusing on what to show, expressing
yourself through colours…Not relating to art, I love to play the guitar and am currently
learning the ukulele. Although they do say music is
also an art…
I
also love jewellery. You can always catch me wearing different types of
bracelets, rings and necklaces! I enjoy beaded jewellery the most, so I decided to start making them!
When I entered middle school, I wanted to preserve my
drawings. I was always seen with a small book where I would doodle, write and
draw different things. My entire class would always sneak a peek in my book to see what I’d
come up with next.
It inspired a few of my friends to start drawing as well, and
pretty soon we formed a mini club! This was the time when I got into
calligraphy and brush pens. I was always nominated to create the designs and
formats for our class magazines.
This was the time when I was given the nickname ‘printer’.
This was because If a copy of a picture was given to me, I would be able to
recreate it perfectly, as though it had been printed.
Once again, I felt as though I’d finally used my talents out there
in the ‘real’ world!
“True
life is lived when tiny changes occur.”
-Leo
Tolstoy
5. The Turning Point!
2020 was a turning point in all of our lives. A sudden lockdown, isolating ourselves from
the rest of the world. It was incredibly surreal for a young student like me.
In order to keep myself busy, I got back into art. Me and my family decided to
head to our family farm, where we had complete isolation for a couple months! So
yes, it was certainly a turning point, but how was it a turning point for my
art? Well…
06 Art on different surfaces
I decided to experiment. There were several trends on social media (particularly
Instagram) one of them a sudden surge in painting on miniature canvases. So I
decided to participate in this cute viral trend. There was also a sudden urge
in Instagram artists to paint miniature polaroid, so I tried that out too!
Since we were located far from your typical friendly art
stores, I had soon run out of acrylics and
canvases. So I decided to move on to something a
little challenging. Using paint brushes used for wall painting, and spare
blocks of wood I found here and there, I continued my love for painting!
One might assume that I was done with woody surfaces, but to my surprise,
it grew on me. So after returning home after months of quarantine, I took a
little bit of the wood art with me.
07. My Taste in Fashion
Favourite Art Pieces
Whistler’s Mother:
A painting by James Abbott McNeill Whistler. The subject of
the painting is Whistler's mother, Anna McNeill Whistler. Funnily enough, I was
introduced to this painting from one of my favourite comfort movies, ‘Bean’
Monet’s Water Lilly:
A 250 painting series done by Claude Monet. This painting in
particular created aspark among painting prends and challenges back in 2020.
The Starry Night:
A classic painting by Vincent Van Gogh. It depicts the view
from the
east-facing window of his asylum room at
Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, just
before sunrise, with the addition of an imaginary
village.,
Favourite Fashion Designer:
Jenny Beavan is my all time favourite designer. She’s the mastermind behind
the in famous costumes from the
movie ‘Cruella’.
8. Inspiration
Inspiration can come from anything, from anywhere, at any time and from anyone. Some sources
of my inspiration are; Pinterest- The friendly, aesthetic app that never fails
to give you hundreds of beautiful and aesthetic art pieces with a simple
search.
My father, who always told me that my strength was my
creativity.
My grandfather. He was my first believer and was the
one who got me into art inthe first place. He’s actually an artist himself. He
has written many books and
translated them into different languages as well.
Along with this, he is also a skilled photographer. I liked to consider him a
master of many arts.
Why I want to Join Art School
Design, whether
it be digital, sketching, drawing, colouring, etc. has always been my source of
happiness ever since I was young. Knowing that
there's a bachelor's degree that I can get from doing what
I love, I'm really excited to continue with it to improve my skills in an esteemed college. Plus, it
enables me to pursue a Masters in Design as well. All
forms of art has always captured my eyes except this time,
instead of observing it, I would like to study it and make it a dream job of
mine.
