My name is Alyssa and I am a graduate from High School and will be starting college in January. During my four years of school, I have found out a lot about myself and the art talents that I have. I've learned that I have a talent for drawing black and white images with pencils and creating new 3D models. Something you should know about me is that I have only taken two art classes that involve drawing in my life and I am currently studying 3D Animation. I someday hope to make it my career and create objects and settings for gaming companies and/or movies. I also did photography for a short amount of time, but due to oversized classes and overcrowded classrooms, I was forced to quit.
A little bit more about me: I was born and raised in Canada for 7 years. After 9/11, my family and I were forced to move here to the States so my dad could find work at an airline company. Since then, I have been living in Idaho and gained a variety of talents and abilities. I have become a pianist and have done a small number of performances. My love for playing game music never dies. Here's a list of all of my favorite songs that I've played:

That aside, I have joined many after school activities throughout the years. I have been on my High School's color guard for three years, and was titled as captain my senior year. I also joined my school's Yearbook Staff and became a Writing Editor. Both Yearbook and color guard has taught me much about teamwork, dedication, hard work, and commitment.
Now that high school is over, my goal is to someday major in 3D Animation and create settings and objects. I have learned that these are what I'm best at creating. Photography will probably always remain just a hobby I do for fun, and perhaps drawing will also be a hobby.
