About Me

Anthony-Ray Koutta is a sophmore from Silver Spring, MD, studying Psychology at the University of Maryland-College Park. His interests are far and wide, some might say they have nothing to do with each other. Dance is one of them due to the fact that as a kid he won every Just Dance game nights with his cousins, part of that may be because he’s competitive but he likes to dance nonetheless; another is mental health, he is always referred to as the “therapist” of his friend group. He values learning anything that has to do with mental health and loves to apply it in his daily life to help others. To keep this short the final interest he wishes to share is his love for anime/cartoon like drawing. He has always loved watching Fairy Tail, Dragon Ball, The Amazing World of Gumball and many other cartoons. He actually learned a lot of lessons from them. His imagination is great so now he is doing his best to actually demonstrate all of his creative ideas by drawing them in his own style. For now Anthony isn’t sure what he wants to be after he graduates but whatever he becomes he plans to aid the people he interacts with in the future.

The College Art Scholars Program to him is an exciting way to meet other artists both beginners and more seasoned artists; he hopes to learn from them and figure out how he can improve his drawing and dancing skills as he wants to include them in his Capstone Project. He also wants to see how everyone in this program incorporates their passions for art in their daily routines. The field trips that he will attend with his fellow scholars are events that he particularly looks forward to. Before he graduates he wants to join a dance group on campus and perform during a school event.
