My goal as an artist, is to one day provide an artistic outlet and education to those have the desire. Specifically, I am interested in reaching those who may not have the access or opportunity. Three dimensional art often requires more larger facilities and funding in order allow a complete exploration of the area of study. It is my hope to earn a Masters in Fine Arts so that I may increase my knowledge of my craft. As well as the ability and experience required to share this knowledge with others.

    Since a very young age, art has always been one of my major interests. I found joy in getting my hands messy with the paint and then transforming a white piece of paper into a something more than that with a rainbow of colors. In school, I always made sure to take all the possible art classes that were available and would fit my schedule. I also began to get more in involved in after school clubs such as the National Art Honor Society and the SmART Club where we did several art projects every week. On my last year of high school I decided to challenge myself and I took AP Studio Art: Drawing Portfolio.…

    I was born in Germany, where I was surrounded by rich European art. Most of my artwork represents places, buildings, and artists that I was exposed to while living in Germany. I was introduced to art at an early age by my mother who took me to an art museum where I began taking art lessons at. Throughout the years I developed a heartfelt passion for art and the medieval era. When we left Germany my art was still in a cartoonist style, but when we came over to the US my elementary and high school art teacher helped me develop a more realistic style that shows traces of my heritage.…

    College is a life changing investment that prepares for life and career. The vast spectrum of knowledge, skills obtained, and experiences from a college degree more than compensates for the monetary cost of tuition. Creating art is my passion; I have always wanted to become a great artist ever since I was a child drawing on my walls and copying pictures from books. I have devoted my life to improving my talents by illustrating my own stories, practicing drawing daily, and challenging myself to earning my own money doing what I love by drawing commissions. Learning how to communicate through illustration is a valuable skill that will live with me for the rest of my life and progressing my artist career.…

    I have been exposed to art my whole life ever since I was a little boy , Mostly when I was young and my sister first acquainted me to it through her drawings.

Description (write 3-4 sentences describing the work) Things to consider: materials, techniques, category (landscape, portrait, etc), style used, etc. It appears that the artist used oil paint as their medium for this portrait.

    The heat from the stage lights, the watchful gazes of the audience, and the sweat dripping off of our faces as we struggle to remember our lines, these sensations of being on stage are what caused the performing arts to become not only an activity, but also a passion and an unexpected source of personal growth. Through my experiences in drama and music I have been able to discover my own meaning of fulfillment and define who the person behind my appearance truly is. My passion in the performing arts started when I was a young child first learning to play the violin. Picking up the violin at the age of 6, I became stuck on one of the most basic songs for almost a whole year. At that time no one believed that I could play the violin, my teacher thought that I was too hyperactive and even my mom attempted to convince me to quit.…

    Music has been a part of my life since I was in the sixth grade, starting from when I joined my intermediate school’s band where I played the trumpet. During high school, I left band yet still continued practicing the trumpet but I also wanted to use my free-time to learn a new instrument and so, during senior year, I decided to learn the violin. I have always loved the timbre of the instrument but since my high school did not have an orchestra, I had to learn to play through self-learning and private-lessons. I was excited to learn the violin; however, my progress was slow. Though my musical background gave me the foundation needed to read sheet music and learn notes quickly, as an adult learner it was difficult for my muscles to adjust to the fine and specific actions required of the violin.…

    When I was accepted to San Jose State University (SJSU) I intended to pursue a career in art therapy with a focus in child development.

I took classes, such as Child Psychology, Psychology of the Adolescent, Chad, Multicultural Art/Children, etc., in order to pursue a career in that field. Additionally, I began working at elementary schools, such as Carden Day School, Monroe Middle School, Sherman Oaks, etc., in order to gain some experience working with youth.…

    I have always had a passion for history and storytelling since I was a child and decided in seventh grade world history class that I wanted to be an archaeologist, discovering ancient cultures and uncovering their secrets. I maintained this plan, arriving at Boston University as an archaeology major but after several semesters of study realized that it wasn’t the exact path for me. I began to grow my appreciation of museums, admiring how they could ignite wonder, curiosity, and learning in myself and others. I realized this was where I felt most at home. Therefore, I decided to change my major to art history, while retaining an archaeology minor, and explore history through the lens of artist’s interpretations and ideas.…

    According to the text Living with Art by Mark Getlein, there are six primary roles that artists fulfill in society: artists “create places for some human purpose” (i.e. monolithic art as Stonehenge, Gobeki Tepe, churches, etc..), artist “create extra-ordinary versions of ordinary objects” (for instance the World’s largest ball of yarn, or Tintoretto’s Last Supper), artists have been used to “record and commemorate” historical events (such as a wedding photographer or Pablo Picasso’s Guernica depicting the carnage of the civil war of Spain), artists give “tangible form to the unknown” (for instance the abstract and cubist movements of the 20th century, or the design of man-made objects), artists “give tangible form to feelings and ideas” ( works…

    Arts Management Personal Statement Arts management as a degree choice at University was something that I feel naturally inclined to do; I have always been organisational with a keen eye for details. From arranging small outings within my group of friends to helping out with the running of a big event at school, I am constantly trying to find outlets for my enthusiasm. The arts have always had a high importance in my life, especially within the last few years. In 2007 I was a chorus member in a school production of ‘Fame’, where I learnt several dance routines, songs and knowledge about the general production and running of a musical.…

    I once had dreams of serving as an Army soldier, but was told that I was ineligible due to a chronic illness that will require medication indefinitely. I was disappointed, but decided that I would, instead, pursue a career in digital media, a passion of mine. As an incoming freshman, I was assigned to take introductory art classes that I disliked immensely. The three hours I spent drawing a piece of fruit and molding unique sculptures out of clay made me realize that this was not a career that I wanted to be spend the rest of my life in. Not to mention, it is hard to land a job fresh out of college because the demand for art is so low and, of those who are interested in purchasing art, their standards are so high that it is almost impossible to meet.…

    It only goes to show that the question that more than likely receives the most generic answers from an audience, can also be the hardest to answer truthfully. What is art? If you were to ask a group of one thousand people that very question, the chances are that the majority of them would answer it by saying something along the lines of “It is and expression of yourself and how you feel” and “Painting, drawing, sculpting, and photographs.” I refuse to be restricted to these two categories, only to answer the same way all others have. That may make me seem stuck up in some way, however, I feel that I have a fairly unique understanding that not many think about.…
