Spending time around the new set of general art students at Yaba College of Technology has been quite an experience. It’s like watching a garden in its early bloom every leaf, every stroke, every line tells a story of potential. These students are still growing, still figuring out their style and rhythm, but you can already feel the hunger in some of their works.
One thing that stands out is their life drawing and perspective studies. You can tell who is paying attention to form, proportion, and structure. Some drawings reveal raw talent lines that feel alive, figures that carry weight, and perspective that draws you into space. Of course, not everyone is on the same level. Some are still learning how to look, how to slow down, how to see beyond the surface. But that’s the beauty of it growth in motion.
What I love the most is how diverse their approaches are. Some go bold with charcoal, others play subtly with pencil shading. Some sketch fast and loose, capturing the movement; others focus on details and precision. It’s not just about skill; it’s about identity. They’re discovering not just how to draw but who they are as artists.
Art school isn’t easy, and life in Yabatech has its own challenges. But you can see in their work that many of these students have chosen not just to attend class but to truly learn, struggle, and evolve. Watching them reminds me that talent is only part of the story dedication and curiosity finish the picture.
As someone who has walked this path, I’m both inspired and hopeful. The future of art is in good hands you can already see the fire in their sketches.
