Hello, I am Reihaneh (rojin) from Iran. I grew up with art since I was a child. My father was a musician and my mother was a designer, and I have become a combination of their interests. and I was in TV and theater and after some time I realized that I am very interested in photography and filming, I tried to learn them and today I can say that I am a photographer and I am interested in this field and I have my own YouTube channel where I post various vlogs. Unfortunately in my country art is not valued much and I studied computers and programming to continue my studies.

Hi, I am Mohammad (mentioned my full name above). I am an International student here and this is my second semester here at Harold Washington College.

I think art has the power to evoke emotions, stimulate creativity, and provide a unique form of self-expression, which can be appealing to many people. It's a diverse and subjective field, so what you like in art is a reflection of your unique preferences and experiences.

I have been practicing art and sketching since my school life and I am self taught person, and I think I am lucky to have this skill. I feel art is a form of expressing yourself and your feelings and it also helps us to over come our anxiety.
