College Admissions Essay: Creativity In Art

Improved Essays
Undoubtedly, art has always been an inspiration for me to be more creative in my everyday life; similarly, art allows me to exercise my imagination to the fullest extent. It is unfortunate that society is lacking this originality today, as creativity is directly intertwined with innovation. For me, this concept definitely applies, and thus I believe that art pushes me to seek experiences outside of my comfort zone.

More specifically, I recently participated in Ottawa’s Young at Art competition, where I submitted an original piece of artwork. I did not hesitate to register, as visual art has been my longtime passion; however, once entered, I struggled to find an appropriate theme for my piece. I was exceptionally frustrated as I desired to

    Art reveals how an artist felt or interpreted an event during their time. Somewhat like how John reads Shakespeare, John is reflecting on Shakespeare’s feelings and perceives it in his own way. Also the fact that Mond constantly tries to crush art shows that art is a representation of individuality, going directly against his utopian beliefs. Mond specifically tries to rid the utopia of individuality which is revealed and attributed to art. Art is a blank canvas for those with creativity and individuality.…

    I express my creativity through singing. For as long as my family and I can remember, I have loved to sing. In elementary school, I was always the shy and quiet type, but when I went to choir practice after school, I felt like I really belonged somewhere. But as much as I love to sing, I wasn't always good at it. At choir practice, I always sang as loud as I could, sometimes to the dismay of my choir director.…

    Steve Jobs and J.K. Rowling are two completely different people. They both give outstanding speeches towards college graduates during different times, but the speeches are on similar topics. The similarities throughout both the speeches is that they both talk about failure that they have experienced throughout their lives, and what they have done to move forward from failure. Another similarity that was used during both their speeches is that they both talked about imagination, and how imagination helped them to become something better. They seemed to use imagination at times to keep themselves busy or to create new ideas.…

    Creativity, an essential skill that can simultaneously help advance the world and communicate different perceptions of an idea, has gradually declined since 1990. Original ideas are vital when it comes to problem solving, technological advancements, communication, and much more. If the public worldwide stops creating new ideas, the world will experience a plateau rather than growth in development. In order to boost creativity in the population, it is best to start at the foundation of all skills, school.

    compared to the ones in previous decades. It used to be that company rules were enforced to all and followed by everyone, yet now employers understand the constructs between the types of workers and make accommodations for the creative class. Kipp is an example of an employer who saw just how much emphasis the creative class puts on the individual. In order to truly keep the creative class happy and focuses on work, an employer cannot set rules for every member of the creative class and think they can be handled the same way. The work environment today is very different from the work environment in the past because now employers are prepared to listen to the needs and wants of the creative class.…

    Two summers ago, I experienced an epiphany in the Contarelli Chapel in the Church of San Luigi dei Francesi in Rome. While I am certainly not the first to have had a revelatory experience there, mine was not of the religious kind. Rather, mine was the illuminating realization that my path leads where my dual and symbiotic passions for history and art have been inexorably guiding me my entire young life. I have long been fascinated by the past and drawn to museums and other repositories of the past. The first time I breathed the chill conditioned air of the American Museum of Natural History, my father had to lift me on his shoulders to give me an unobstructed view of the fossil remains of a triceratops.…

    Everyday I continue my journey as an artist, I learn more and more on what the true meaning of art actually is. I've learned over the years that art is a way to express yourself visually through different mediums and techniques, and not just by copying a photographed image, but by explaining yourself through key notions such as brushstrokes, line marks, color choice, etc. Art has always been a way for me to escape the hardships of the world and to drift into a place that I can control by releasing all emotions through pieces of works. I've decided to continue to pursue a career as an artist and attend an art college in order to recieve a master's degree in fine arts. What motivates me to create my works of art is the fact that I was blessed with a talent that I can take on with me for the rest of my life.…
