Culture encompasses the ways of life of a group of people, including their language, religion, art, music, cuisine, dress, and social habits. Culture is a learned behavior that is transmitted from one generation to another through socialization, and it shapes the way people think, act, and interact with each other. It can also vary from region to region, country to country, and even within different sub-groups of a society. Culture is an essential aspect of human life as it provides a sense of identity, belonging, and meaning to individuals and communities. Personal artifacts are Individual identity, styles, hobbies, clothing tending to be defined from your birth. Cultural artifacts are those that did not come from nature. I can say drawing and watching cartoons are my personal artifacts. I have spent most of my life watching cartoons and drawing pictures. Painting has taught me many things. Such as the colors of nature and the culture of my country. From childhood we learn what we see from the people around us. We learn culture from them. None of us are born with culture. We are born into a culture. We get the idea of ​​living and learn the culture by living with the people around us. We can get the touch of culture in many ways like television, relatives, friends, teachers. I have a special love for culture since childhood.

I love watching cartoons since I was 6 years old. I used to watch so many cartoons that I learned foreign languages ​​by watching cartoons. Since then, my interest in drawing grew. And as I slowly grow up, I learn drawing by myself. And in my spare time I used to draw. I continued to participate in my school’s drawing competition. I had a lot of fun drawing. When I wasn’t feeling well, drawing would make me feel better. I used to get upset when it rained outside on the off day. Because I couldn’t go outside to play. At that time only drawing that made me feel good. My mind changed after a while like nature since childhood. But I wasn’t afraid of it anymore because when I painted, I got lost in it.  And chose drawing as my hobby. I used to draw and collect them with me. Whenever I liked, I used to draw and keep it for myself. When I wanted to buy something, my father would not buy it, I would draw a picture of it and keep it with myself. I used to draw different types of weather scenes, draw pictures of my toys, draw cartoons. Although in the beginning I could not draw well but slowly my drawing started to be attractive. This will seem time waste to many. But I felt that drawing was increasing my common sense and I was becoming more creative. When guests came to my house, I used to show them my drawings. They appreciated me a lot. Their kids wanted to draw like me. I used to arrange my drawings in my own bedroom. There was a window in my room, and I used to draw by sitting next to that window. I would sit there and draw pictures of the environment. One thing I have noticed is that drawing makes the brain more creative.

I still like cartoons. So, I want to make cartoons myself. And I am now learning to make animation videos. When my friends invite me to hangout, maximum time I don’t go, I draw or make animation videos. Although I don’t think of drawing or animation as my career, it’s just my hobby or artifact. My friends think I collected my old drawings like a child. But I want to keep them as my memories. And some of my friends like them a lot. And I sometimes draw them in my spare time. My family members inspire me to draw. Although now I don’t get the chance to draw like before. But when there is nothing to do, then animation video or drawing. Now no one will like these drawings because after a certain age people only look at careers no one cares about memories, hobbies or artifacts. But I will keep them as my childhood memories for the rest of my life. When my grandchildren will see my drawings, they may not have a drawing culture, they will enjoy these old drawings.

Bangladesh is a diverse country. And my childhood and adolescence were spent there. Bangladesh is a festive country. Bangladesh has a huge amount of different culture. Although it is a Muslim country, there are ethnic differences here. And among so many cultures, drawing has been an important culture of Bangladesh for many years. And painting has been popular for ages among the people of Bangladesh. Bengali New Year is called Pahela Baisakh. In this Pahela Boishakh, small and big fairs are held in every district of Bangladesh. Many creative artists will meet in that fair.  I was amazed to see them draw so fast and so perfectly. When I was a child, I used to go to fairs with my father and draw pictures of myself by them. I wish I could draw like them. However, these cultures are slowly disappearing nowadays. Which is very disappointing.

Since childhood till now my hobbies have changed many artifacts have changed. I still haven’t forgotten the drawing. And probably I will never forget in the future. I am looking through my collection and I see the drawing, the memories come flooding back from where I did draw this picture.

In conclusion I would like to say that drawing made my childhood very beautiful. The days of that time were spent in great joy.
