 Hello, my name is Isabella Possenti. I am currently 17 years old, and I am attending North Star Middle college. My goal for the future is to eventually become a dentist. This is my first art class I am taking online, so I am still getting used to using all these different websites.  I find this artwork very appealing!     My relationship with art is pretty good!

I have gone to a couple art museums like the blown glass one in Seattle, but other than that, I haven't been to many others.    Blown Glass Art Museum
