Art Progression

As a developing and growing student, I realize that I need a plan for success, even though that plan may change. At Indiana University Bloomington, I plan to study in the School of Art and Design in order to eventually become an interior designer. While I may change my career choice and area of study, my drive and dedication to achieve excellence will never waver. However, that does not mean that I will not face challenges along the way.

My undergraduate study in painting and drawing at the School of Art Institute of Chicago was one of the significant experiences and experiments in my art career. I was able to experiment art materials and tools in painting and drawing studio

My career goals are to start a business and to be able to maintain it through my expertise that I learned at The Art Institute of Indianapolis. Through the Art Institute I will learn the skills to better understand the field of work that I am interested in; Including things such as communication skills, time management, technical competency, and above all else the ability to work with co-workers. The Art Institute is a great place to learn all those skills and many more, giving me everything I need to have a successful business. In order to be successful I must have two things, determination and persistence. Without those things I will fall short of my goals.

More importantly by obtaining a Masters in Art Therapy I hope to better serve my community and the needs of future clients by broadening my understandings of psychology. I am loyal to a fault, flexible, optimistic, openminded, meet deadlines with grace, passionate, empathetic, eager to learn, a hard worker, and a positive person. These qualities simply graze the surface of who I am, nevertheless I am confident that these characteristics will benefit my aspirations to become an Art

I believe the art institute of Hollywood will help me improve my current skills and attain my idea job. My career goal is to become a multimedia and animation artist, because I enjoy using more than one style of medium. I have done research for jobs that circle around this profession, and I have come to the understanding that I first need to obtain a bachelor's degree of arts. My plan is work hard and sharpen my skills, so I can improve as I take the courses required to reach my goal.

Before I can achieve a degree, I must commit to my studies. Education is the strongest foundation in any career. As it stands, I have taken interior design, architecture, and all levels of art including AP studio art, which I am currently enrolled in. My Advanced placement and honors classes have

The Art Institute of California shows what a University is all about how connected the students are with each other and the strength with teachers. My education is valuable to me because no one

Art reflects what is important at a particular time to a particular culture and/or to a particular artist. For example, in Ancient Egypt, the Egyptians focused on status. Much of Egyptian art is very symbolic and dedicated to the Kings and Queens and the people of high economic stature. The Egyptians also liked to make art showing their beliefs, such as Gods and Goddesses. Color played a big part in Egyptian art. The color of the skin was usually a brighter color, this indicated what social class they were from. The darker colors represented royalty or someone that is godlike.

My want to pursue fine arts as my area of study stemmed from my want to obtain my Bachelors in Fine Arts and help procure a future career in the art museum industry. I want to go beyond what I know to develop an array of skills that will make me an asset in the art world, developing practical and theoretical skills to learn art and design history. Being passionate, innovative, and creative in every aspect of my life I believe acted as my backbone that supported me in venturing into new things. The passionate, innovative, and creative attend The New School which is why I believe my presence as a student would be a perfect fit. Students attend higher education to become enlightened about the majors that will essentially help them become successful in their life. I believe that The New School would be an essential component educating me about fine art as well as expanding my knowledge on topics such as painting, drawing,and

Analyzing art can be a necessity to every day life. It has importance beyond what people may think possible and can transform the way you interpret situations. The skills acquired from it are applicable to every day jobs such as: doctors, crime scene investigators, police officers, and any other jobs that require attention to minor details. The analysis of art can improve your communication skills to be beyond most of society's. It assists people by showing a new outlook to a situation and helps to see the inconsistencies of a certain scenario. For instance, it is essential for a doctor to be able to look at an x-ray and they be able to those inconsistencies and make an educated diagnosis for that patient. I have been to a few art museums in

Creating personal art helps to express to others your point of view or perspective. By creating a personal art piece I was able to reflect on myself and illustrate how I view myself to share with other. I started my selecting a picture that I thought would help to portray a message. I also thought about the images that I would draw to really depict my character. When I was selecting my photo I tried to pick one that represented something. I chose a picture that was taken from behind me. To me this picture represents seeing things from my point of view. When you stand behind a person and glance over their shoulder you are essentially seeing the same things that they are. For the pictures that I chose I had to really think and consider what

In my thoughts, convoluted upon this page, I reside these ideas of whether I should pick a university and/or an art academy, and whether I will find the better one through my own investigation. When starting the investigation I looked no further than my Graphic design teacher Ms. Fitchhorn, who helped me answer a couple of questions while also detailing me her experience, this gave me the right background to look into UC Davis. On the other hand, I found out information and did a virtual tour of San Francisco Art Institute (SFAI), all of which intrigued me. While I feel that I liked the sound and the idea of a UC more than an academy through learning things that Fitchhorn said, though I’ve found interesting information from SFAI, and have found that both sources have their positives and negatives.

In all areas of art, be it music, fashion, painting, sculpture or architecture, are influenced by the changing times. In one manner or another, art is ultimately controlled either by the people or for the people. Influences by way of religion and politics, coupled with a desire to support or object, seem to be a reoccurring theme among many eras. Additionally, as with all things, who the financially stronger were at the time had a major influence over what the artists would be expected to create. In the past, many times it was the church that had the greatest say in the overall acceptance of art, resulting in decades of works created with a spiritual connotation. At times, this was a blatantly religious messages, such as Leonardo da Vinci’s

Art education has been proven to help with “cognitive ability, critical thinking, and verbal skills” as well as “motivation, concentration, confidence, and teamwork” (Smith). Having the ability and patience to sit down and paint a masterpiece or work through a song on the piano requires high focus and dedication. Students willing to do this will in turn have stronger skills to focus and be dedicated in other subjects. The mixture of all these abilities gained from participation in art programs lead to higher test scores and overall better performance in school. Still, these are only a few of the assets provided by art education.

The big debate in someone’s head when they are a senior in highschool and are getting ready to graduate is if they are planning to attend college, then what college to attend is the big question. For students that want to pursue art in college, then the big question is if art school is the way to go or “traditional” college with just a major in some medium of art. I believe that if anyone wants to be an artist or wants to do something in the art field, that they would benefit more from an art school than a school whose sole purpose is not to prepare students with access into the art world because of their high quantity of like minded students, and it provides students with more time to focus directly on artwork. Though it does generally cost more than a traditional university or college.
