Who’s behind The Art Newbie?
Hello! I’m Riccardo, and welcome to The Art Newbie.
WHERE IT ALL BEGAN
Art and architecture have been lifelong passions for me. It all started back in high school, where I first delved into the world of art—sketching, studying color theory, and absorbing the works of the great masters. Now, as a college student focusing on architecture, I find myself continually inspired by the blend of creativity and structure that defines both fields.
THE REASON BEHIND IT
But here’s the truth — I’ve realized that the more I learn, the more I see how much there still is to uncover. That’s why I created The Art Newbie. This blog isn’t just a platform to share my journey; it’s a place for us to learn together. Even though I’ve spent years studying art and architecture, I’m choosing to go back to the basics. I’m revisiting the foundations to deepen my understanding, ensuring that every concept is as clear and solid as possible.
HOW WE WILL LEARN
I believe that the best way to truly learn is with a beginner’s mindset — approaching each topic with openness, curiosity, and a willingness to explore. That’s the approach I bring to The Art Newbie, and it’s the journey I’m inviting you to join. As I dive back into the essentials of art and architecture, I’ll be sharing everything I learn in a logical, structured way. Whether you’re new to these subjects or looking to expand your own knowledge, there’s something here for everyone.
JOIN THE JOURNEY
Together, we’ll explore the core principles of art and architecture, reflect on the creative process, and draw inspiration from the world around us. I’m excited to see where this journey will lead, and I hope you’ll find both value and enjoyment in the discoveries we make along the way.
Let’s learn, grow, and be inspired together. Welcome to The Art Newbie!
