A Lover of the Arts
Ever since I can remember I have loved , seeing, hearing, and creating art of all kinds. My favorite thing to do when I was little was grab a blank piece of printer paper and whatever I could find to draw and just doodle away. When I was little and I heard music playingI would sing along even if I didn’t know the lyrics and just move my body. By the way…I still dance like a maniac whenever I hear a good jam come on, and no it does not matter where I am.

This group has enhanced my overall vocal, dancing, and performing abilities beyond what I could have ever imagined. My involvement in the arts that my school offers were no surprise to me or anyone around me. As a result my involvement in many art-related programs, I have become a better musician, I have gained technical skills in visual arts, and I have practiced giving life to my own creative conceptions. The feeling I get when I have just finished performing, or I have finished a piece of art I’ve been working on for days, or even when I’m sharing some of my writing is unlike any other feeling I’ve ever had. I work especially hard to put everything I have into my projects in the arts, and this is what makes it so special to me. When I create, I put a piece of myself into my work out for the world to see. And the satisfaction I get from this is overpowers the vulnerability that comes with being an …show more content…

    I also have a passion for singing and dancing. My first dance lessons were when I was 4, always singing along to the songs even if I didn’t know the lyrics, making them up to the tune. When I was younger, I remember of wanting to be a singer, I even cried telling my mom that I wanted to be a singer instead of “those boring office jobs.” As I grew older, I realized, there’s so many kids in this world with so much more talent than me and that it’s risky as well. I realized this career choice was not so worth it.…

    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.…

    An unusually fragile underclassman: devoid of faith and fearful of a new environment brimming with the cold embrace of the unknown. “What do you like about yourself?” Sitting in the audience, listening to an assembly during my freshman orientation of high school, this existential question hit me like a tidal wave—initially destructive yet ultimately metamorphic. Those around me blessed with a wealth of confidence from a young age beamed with vanity: athletes, scholars, musicians and those exceptionally precocious few with the ability to thrive in multiple environments.…

    I want to entertain; knowing that I can make people happy with what I can create, with what I say and what I do makes all the difference to me. As a child, I loved theatrical performances with all my heart, funny improv games and shows with my little sister helped test our creative outlets. I also played with musical skills picked up thanks to my father; the way songs can audibly represent emotions, settings, even complete stories fascinated me. So, I set out on a mission to create and to make and experience everything I could to be involved with art in general. I performed in our middle school select choir and the three play productions in my time there as well, because I could see that it made people happy to be included or involved, either watching or performing.…

    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.…

    My long-term professional goal is to work in theater education providing youth who otherwise would not have access to theater and arts education an outlet to grow creatively. I hope to use my time with Teach for America to begin incorporating arts education into school districts that currently lack the funding to do so. As a person who grew up in the arts, I know how much theater and art taught me such as, being an outlet for coping with hardship, creating a safe space for me to learn and explore my talents, and also giving confidence to reach my goals. It is because of my experiences that I want to work to make sure that students that come after me still have the opportunity to find the artist in themselves. It is my hope that my long-term…

    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.…

    “For very young children, making art -- or just talking about it- provides opportunities to learn words for colors, shapes, and actions” (Lynch). It is vital for a child to learn the importance of art early in their life so that they can choose whether or not they will be dedicated to pursue a career involving art skills. Learning about these basic forms of art at an early age gives children more insight in preparation for their educational life. “Although some may regard art education as a luxury, simple creative activities are some of the building blocks of child development” (Lynch). Students involved in simple creative activities within their peers can affect their emotional status and gives a more comforting feeling being around others that have similar qualities of enjoyment.…
