That wasn't the story for Art, being born with a proverbial silver spoon in her mouth. Art was born to a family of entertainers and was taught to follow in their footsteps from the moment she could walk and talk. She was two years old when she started modeling for JC Penny and four when she landed a role in the classic sitcom [u]Anything For Family[/u], running for 10 seasons. It was about this time that she found out that her father and siblings were being investigated. They were busted for embezzling money from her, their own careers having reached a standstill. With additional felony drug charges, they were sent to prison. With no family to turn to, she turned to her friends, Yazmin Cortez and her wife, Ophelia, to take her in. After being adopted she started with her singing/dancing career after landing a supporting role when she was 14, starring alongside Raven Symone in the classic [u]That's So Raven[/u] as Raven's theatrical younger sister. She went through for two seasons before quitting and suing the director for sexual harassment. She stepped out of TV series for a while, often appearing only as a cameo, and moved on to take care of her singing career. With her new manager, she went on a world tour and gained a larger fanbase outside of North America and Latin countries. Her tour ended when she was seventeen and she began to take on bigger movie roles than before. She even spent some time on American Idol as a judge. She was a face seen everywhere. In her more recent years, she made her production and directorial debut by producing and directing the summer horror box office blockbuster [u]Don't Look Under the Bed[/u]. [Hider=Charities] +Art For the People - It's a charity that has buildings in many urban and low-income areas in cities across the United States and Mexico. She founded the charity when she was 12 as a way to provide various lessons in performing and visual arts as well as materials to conduct their work for free for people who couldn't afford it. Signing up to be a foundation member began to require an extensive background check after several upper class families began to send their children there to save money. +Companions For the People - In an attempt to provide people with companions and strays with homes, she started another charity at the age of 15 that brings strays in off the streets and cleans them up. The CFP works in tandem with the ASPCA and allows people to come and volunteer to spend time with the animals. There are several events each year for adoptions. +Shelter For the People - A charity she started when she was 18 after a world tour. She and several others donate and raise money to build orphanages and group homes for children and family. Emphasized in these shelters is self-sustenance. The people are given the materials and taught how to cultivate and harvest their own fruits and vegetables and teaches yoga as well.[/hider] [Hider=Personal]+She is known to be very sweet and innocent and a bit silly, often pegged as a naive dreamer who gives everyone the benefit of the doubt. She is frequently playfully teased by others because she tends to blush and giggle when sexual innuendos are thrown at her or if she is told a dirty joke. +Her music genre ranges from latin pop, punk pop, bubblegum pop, alternative, dance, dubstep, and pop rock. Her songs often feature infectious beats and even her slower songs feature good beats for dancing. +She is most notable for her comedy roles but has been able to take a leap towards dramatic and serious roles thanks to the vouching of her friend and former co-star, Wesley. +She is a known Buddhist and is known to visit the Dalai Lama at least three times a year.[/Hider] [hider=Awards]She has been nominated for several awards and won many more, some of them more than once. She holds the record for the most consecutively won awards for her huge fan following and Iconic trendsetter awards. She is also one of the youngest Oscar, Emmy, Golden Globe, and MTV nominees and winners.
