Steamboat Drawing
I remember growing up on my family’s farm in Kansas City, seeing all the different types of animals that surrounded me every single day. During this period in my childhood, I was going to classes for drawing because I wanted to get better at it because it was something I really enjoyed doing. Later on I started drawing the animals that I saw on the farm. And that's where I got my inspiration and my passion for drawing in the first place.

I worked very hard to end up where I did and I put all my effort into my drawing and films. All this hard work that came from my partners and I finally paid off when we released the first ever animated film that had sound and music in it in 1928. The film was called “Steamboat Willie” and it starred everyone's

    “On October 16, 1923 -Walt signed a contract with M. J. Winkler to produce a series of Alice Comedies. This date is considered the start of the Disney Company first known as The Disney Brothers Studio. For more than nine decades, the name Walt Disney has been preeminent in the field of family entertainment. From humble beginnings as a cartoon studio in the 1920s to today's global corporation, The Walt Disney Company continues to proudly provide quality entertainment for every member of the family, across America and around the world ” http://thewaltdisneycompany.com/about-disney/disney-history. Walt Disney did Mickey Mouse cartoon equipped with voices and music, entitled Steamboat Willie. When it appeared in 1928, Steamboat Willie was a sensation. (Disney himself provided the voice for Mickey until 1947.) This popularity led to the invention of other animal characters, such as Donald Duck and the dogs Pluto and Goofy. Walt Disney was never one to rest or stand still. He had long thought of producing feature-length animated films in addition to the shorts. In 1934, he began work on a version of the classic fairy tale Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937), a project that required great organization and coordination of studio talent and a task for which Disney possessed a unique capacity. While he actively engaged in all phases of creation in his films, he functioned chiefly as coordinator and final decision maker rather than as designer and artist. By animating substantially human figures in the characters of Snow White, the Prince, and the Wicked Queen and by forming caricatures of human figures in the seven dwarfs, Disney departed from the scope and techniques of the shorts and thus proved animation’s…

    “Not like that!” My sister Hana used to yell at me every time I paused the video tape of a cartoon show. I would stand over the TV screen with my paper on the screen and pencil in my hand, copying my favorite characters. “I told you to draw, not to copy” she would add. “I want it to be perfect!” was my reply. At a very young age, I developed a passion for drawing. My sister used to challenge me to draw some of our favorite cartoon characters. From these humble beginnings I started to develop into a skilled painter. When my father recognized my talent, he bought me several drawing books. Although I have always enjoyed creating different types of art, portraits (drawing a person’s facial features), captured my interest the most. Portraits require…

    Walt Disney was not just someone who drew cartoons for a section of a newspaper; he changed the American culture with his creativity and ideas. Walt Disney is a man who changed the way people entertain themselves. Because he inspired so many people, they strive to become who they want to be so that they can be successful, like him.

    As children, most of us experienced and even lived in a world of imagination where we were able to explore beyond the world we lived in. Whether it was a certain activity we engaged in or certain place we went to, these things helped us develop as children. Frazier and his friends would go to the woods to “explore” whatever was out there for them to find. They spent their time climbing trees and crushing ice for their own fun play time. Like Frazier, during my childhood I was always very absorbed in art. Drawing was a way for me to imagine a world where possibilities were endless. As I would draw no one really disturbed me because I was “taken away”. I didn’t have to worry about my drawing being the next Picasso masterpiece, or I didn’t have to worry about my drawing making sense at all. I was just drawing for…

    Later on they were blessed with two daughters, Diane and Sharon . Three years after Walt and Lilly wedding, Walt created the famous cartoon character, Mickey Mouse. Walt’s talents were first seen in a silent cartoon named Plane Crazy. Before the cartoon could be released, sound was introduced to the motion picture industry. Mickey Mouse made his screen debut in Steamboat Willie, the world's first synchronized sound cartoon, which premiered at the Colony Theater in New York on November 18, 1928 (Walt Disney, Biography). On December 21, 1937, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the first full-length animated musical feature, premiered at the Carthay Theater in Los Angeles.

After five years, Walt Disney Studios completed another full-length animated classics such as Pinocchio, Fantasia, Dumbo, and Bambi(Walt Disney, Biography). In 1940, construction was finally completed on the Burbank Studio, and Disney's staff swelled to more than 1,000 artists, animators, story men, and technicians. Although, because of World War II 94 percent of the Disney facilities were engaged in special government work, including the production of training and propaganda films for the armed services, as well as health films which are still shown through-out the world by the U.S. State Department. The remainder of his efforts were devoted to the production of comedy short subjects, deemed highly essential to civilian and military…

    The rough, yet smooth texture of a canvas knocks down all boundaries and only leaves room for creativity. The line from the tip of my pencil is not just nonsense; every drawing is representation of me and everything that I feel at a given moment. Through art, I have learned how this life isn't always pretty blue skies, and ceramic vases. It is purple skies with an orange hue, tornadoes in perfect weather, grimaces and tears, and so much more that words cannot convey, which is why I draw. Through art, I have learned that with the frustration and failures, there is reward in forms of pride and satisfaction of taking a step back and admiring my own…

    I remember the first time I created art. I was seven years old and I was already in the midst of learning about myself. The pencil crayons felt like paint brushes as I let my inner artist run wild. I felt like Matisse himself even though I had no idea who that was at the time. I drew a rose and an off-coloured clownfish that looked more like Tiger. Although the things I drew had no significance, the idea of creating something captivated me ever since. I practiced baking to settle my need for creation and ended up falling in love with the hobby; baking is what fulfilled my need for creation and decoration. I still satisfy my need for art by occasionally visiting the Art Gallery of Ontario or drawing silly sketches the on scrap pieces of paper…
