Yes! I took art classes all four semesters of middle school, and took four art classes in high school. I enjoyed them so much, and learned a lot from them. I discovered a love for 3D media, and realized that I was capable of creating both realistic, illustrative, abstract, and just plain silly works of art. My creativity was absolutely nurtured during that time, and I owe where I am today to those teachers pushing me to do my best work.
