HOST INTRO: CUNY Journalism student Kristal Roman took it to the halls of Baruch college to find out what fellow classmates do on their down time while they aren’t in class.
TRACK: I’m here with William Ma on the Baruch College Campus, as he makes his way to his next class. He is a full time Journalism student here at Baruch College with a love for art.
ACT: WILLIAM: Things I like to do in my spare time is any type of art, I like painting, drawing, stuff like that.
TRACK: He lets us in on his love for art and where it began, with some crayons given to him by his grandmother as a child.
ACT: WILLIAM: My grandmother would always say that she would remember me drawing on like anything, with like crayons and I’ve never really stopped so I would say that I was creative since I was a child.
TRACK: Ma, goes on to explain Disney as one of his inspirations and his love for The Little Mermaid
ACT: WILLIAM: I would say I’ve been inspired by many of the Disney Animated Films that have really been popular. That has influenced my artwork. The little Mermaid has been one of my favorites, since then I’ve been drawing a lot of young women, a lot of fantastical women, mermaids, fairies, and stuff like that because of how fantastical Disney has portrayed these characters and I want to do something similar.
TRACK: He explains one of his favorite pieces to us that he created on his own.
ACT: WILLIAM MA: My favorite piece of artwork that I’ve done, is a black and white charcoal drawing of a Mermaid sitting on rocks. She’s more realistic and a little bit angry, not happy. I think that in a lot of portrayals of like these fantastical creatures, it’s always like under the male gaze, and they’re always like sexualized and happy. This mermaid she’s upset. She’s upset that you’re looking at her, she’s upset to be there. I think the black and white of the charcoal really helps it sell that. And what I like about that is that despite it being a fantastical piece It gives it a little realism in there.
TRACK: He only see’s drawing as a hobby and does not see himself taking this on as a career in the future. However, he explained it as a great escape to relieve stress from real life on his down time and he believes it is great for everyone to have a creative hobby as an outlet. For Baruch College, I’m Kristal Roman.
