She became attached to drawing since her childhood. She began her first experiences in her first school class with incomprehensible scribbles, through which she tried to express what was in her mind, and day after day, she was able to professionally paint.
Batoul Al-Omari (16 years) describes herself as the youngest Jordanian plastic artist, who began to learn the arts of drawing in her early childhood, and at the age of 13, she began producing her first plastic drawings with pencils and black charcoal, in which she expressed her own ideas.
Batoul won first place in a drawing competition organized by the Jordanian Ministry of Education at the beginning of last year 2020 at the level of the Kingdom's schools, registering the rank of excellence.

Early talent
"I started learning drawing arts in the first grade at the age of 6 years," Batoul says. "The beginning was after my family noticed my interest in drawing, the accuracy of my holding pens, and the beautiful coordination of colors in drawings."
This was an impetus to learn the art of drawing, Batoul adds, so I started with the help and constant follow-up of my parents to visit drawing education sites, watching educational videos on YouTube, and more.
To be able to acquire more skills and art of drawing.
Drawing did not take every time for virginity, as there is a part dedicated to studying and reviewing homework, and a part devoted to reading and memorizing the Qur’an and practicing rituals. Batoul memorizes 15 parts of the Qur’an, and the rest of the time is for creativity and innovation in drawing and learning new.

Artistic tales
Batoul practices drawing on a daily basis, some drawings require 120 hours of work over a period of days, and some more than a month, and what distinguishes her drawings is her great attention to fine details, so that the viewer of the drawing thinks that she is talking to him.
Batoul's drawings simulate the stories of the person he lives daily, his dreams and aspirations seeking to achieve them, his family and societal problems, his psychological complexes, his differences between dreams and realities, and each viewer of the drawings explains them with his own analysis.
In her drawings, she expresses her different thoughts, spirit and feelings, joy and sadness, anger and contentment, love and hatred, by drawing with a charcoal pen or black lead on white paper, or engraving with a white pen on the black page, in order to make her pronounce her hidden components.
The viewer thinks the drawings are lines and circles of dry, soulless pens;

In order not to get bored and abandon her talent, I would arrange for her a special daily program set at specific times, in which she balances between her studies and memorization of the Qur’an and learning drawing, and when she was able to draw and began to be creative, she became dependent on herself in everything.
