About Me



I am a first year student at Michigan State University. My name is Katie Grenan, and I am
writing this blog to explore the world of visual arts.

I would never label myself as a writer but I did once label myself as a dancer. My relationship with the visual arts is much different from my relationship with writing. My relationship with writing is one of only self-scrutinizing causing a roller coaster of emotions.  I have danced for 14 years and within that competed nationally. Becoming a professional dancer was never something that I wanted to do with my life, but I have found myself intrigued with the realm of theater and film. While watching my fellow dancers, I love to imagine a background story; as if they were in a film. This roller coaster does not make my heart sink, only soar. Picturing exuberant lights and images flowing behind them is something that I wish to make a reality.

I have never seen myself as the creative type but I would love to change that. My strong belief is that everyone needs a creative outlet; I want this profession to be mine. I am unaware of what jobs or majors are out there that match what I want to do. I am unsure of whether or not this job is only something I have created in my own mind or if it is real. I hope to answer these questions through this blog and researching the fields of film, theater, and dance.
