When we get to a certain age, we tend to feel shy about our deepest dreams... It would sound ridiculous for me to say now (at 33) that I want to be a ballerina. But that is what I used to say as a child, as many other girls I guess. I think the desire of being a ballerina is rather symbolic. Our intuition as little girls relate us to the values attached to it: grace, balance, harmony, beauty...
The decision of taking a fashion design course was not about me wanting to make clothes, sell them and make money. It was about dreaming and searching for my true self.
Never stop dreaming, and if you feel like there is something about you that you need to explore, do it. You never know where this will take you, but it will certainly be a better place.
PS I didn't mention something so far: there were ten of us starting the course, only four actually finished. I was the only one who attended all the classes, and I am probably the only one who started to blog about it :)

My last piece of drawing (the pose was inspired by a painting).
Learning to draw human bodies is not only useful for fashion design.
I have't said too much about the place where my introduction to design / drawing happened.
It is the Dubai International Art Centre.
Check their website, they have lots of new courses coming.
Our dear teacher Dyali, she is great and I can only hope that all the teachers are as good as her.
