Art appreciation was never inborn. It just happens and I did not find out until my senior years in grade school. I was a student then at Philippine Normal College. It was a seven year grind and part of the curricula is drawing.
The first time I was introduced to a paint brush and medium was in grade school. It was my first time to draw. I did not know what to draw that I took a peek at my classmate’s idea. Like my classmate, I drew a Philippine landscape. It was simple nipa house, a farmer and his carabao and a coconut tree. I think I drew some clouds and birds as a background. Primitive but decent. I enjoyed that first encounter, the Michaelangelo side of me.
