Career Essay: The NYC Fine Arts Academy

While NYU has a reputation and location that are in and of themselves compelling, to me, this school embodies so much more. I have spent the last year exploring every reputable drama program in both the United States and Canada and I am convinced that the Tisch School of the Arts curriculum best nears my educational hopes and philosophies. The strong conservatory training combined with academic rigor is exactly the challenge I am looking for to prepare myself for the world of performing arts, both in the theatre and in everyday life.

On my twenty-forth birthday, the seventh of May, my mother, the eminent, Whitney West Scooter, almost had a major myocardial infarction. After, I told her that her aspiring Michelangelo had withdrawn, that very day, from her alma mater the illustrious J. C. West Academy of Fine Arts. The only reason I attend the Academy, in the first place was to appease my mother, who believed every artist should hold an art degree. I spend the entire day with my mother and throughout breakfast, lunch, and dinner, I tried to penetrate her armor of resistance so she might understand my reason for leaving the Academy at the conclusion of my junior year. As I spoke, her facial expression took on the characteristics of a rabid dog about to pounce. And I swear

Question 4 “What were your main obstacles in participating in the Brooklyn Interns for Arts and Culture program?”: Supervisors highlighted that some obstacles they faced in the problem pertained to timing which included predicting and managing hours that their intern needed for specific projects and tasks, finding specific days that their intern could work that we would be best for them and the intern, and time constraints caused by their overall department being busy. Additionally, supervisors stated that other obstacles they faced in the program pertained to managing a high school intern which included finding tasks appropriate for a high school intern, adapting their management style for a teenager (learning to give specific guidelines and instructions to intern instead of giving the intern “the leeway to figure out the best practice”), balancing their work duties along with supervising and engaging their intern. And finally, one supervisor accounted that one challenge they faced in the program was providing desk space for the intern due to space constraints.

The Hudson River school represents the first native genre of distinctly American art. The school began to produce art works in the early 1820s; comprised of a group of loosely organized painters who took as their subject the unique naturalness of the undeveloped American continent, starting with the Hudson River region in New York, but eventually extending through space and time all the way to California and the 1870s. During the period, that the school’s artists were active (c. 1820-1870) the nation was in the process of undergoing momentous political, social, and economic change. The works that the Hudson River School painters comprised reflected the changes that were taking place across the

One pleasant afternoon, my classmates and I decided to visit the Houston Museum of Fine Arts to begin on our museum assignment in world literature class. According to Houston Museum of Fine Art’s staff, MFAH considers as one of the largest museums in the nation and it contains many variety forms of art with more than several thousand years of unique history. Also, I have never been in a museum in a very long time especially as big as MFAH, and my experience about the museum was unique and pleasant. Although I have observed many great types and forms of art in the museum, there were few that interested me the most.

This case study focuses on myself, an education graduate student pursuing her teacher’s certification. This study analyzes my cognitive, social, emotional, behavioral, and moral growth through the constructs of eleven different professional theories of development. After exploring life experiences contributing to my personality and character, educational implications are revealed for my future role as an art educator.

Education is like the base that structures societies’ values and morals. Back in the old days, the importance of education was just for the people who want to know more about a particular subject. Furthermore, education was the main interest for the people who want to revolutionize the industry of education. Nonetheless, with capitalism everything has changed. The most important change was the importance of education. Suddenly, huge cooperation took place and required a set of standards for anybody who wants a good job in that system. Thus, of course, more and more people started to realize that education is the only way for them to live in capital societies. Today, collage standards expand and people discovered that some institutes are

The summer before my Freshman school year, I was a participant in the All-City arts program, a program for students who had interests in Music, Dance, Poetry or Chorus. When my teacher told me about it, I signed up immediately; not knowing if other friends signed up as well. In the end it turned out that I was the only one that signed up from my school. Having a limited background to playing a clarinet, I decided to join the program in hopes that I would grow as a better musician, and in the end I did. Through this program I learned how to become more independant, look out into different perspectives and how to associate myself with a room full of strangers. I learned to manage my time with friends or family on the weekend after practises,

Growing up I have always had a passion and drive for the arts. As I got older I did art,theater,dance,and choir. I still to this day enjoy each one of those forms of art. Because they are sort of an escape from everything going on in life and school. I enjoy each one as well because they make coming to school each day even more great.

Marketing and programming in the arts serve the purpose of cultivating the relationship between the audiences and arts organisations. In combination, both functions are executed with the purpose of not only investing in the community culturally but also to garner external interest and media attention. In modern times, performing arts projects have become an important method of developing the community and are executed with the expectation that they will have a positive and measurable impact on society. In turn, small and large arts organisations in their marketing and programming efforts aim to diversify their audiences to achieve their goals of social purpose, financial sustainability and creativity.

I grew up in the suburban, diverse city of Farmington Hills, Michigan. A place with abundant support for the arts from teachers, parents and even sports coaches. I started playing my first instruments, the viola and guitar at ten years old, today marks my eighth year playing both instruments. For four years I have worked with FL Studio 11 and I produce tracks of every genre.

Art education is often underestimated by many who believe that school was created to teach only analytical concepts such as mathematics and literature. However, research has shown that art courses are important, even necessary for students in elementary, middle, and high schools. These art classes may include not only visual arts but performing arts such as dance, theatre and choir. Barbara Streisand said, “Art does not exist only to entertain, but also to challenge one to think, to provoke, even to disturb, in a constant search for the truth,” (Quotations). Streisand points out that there are multiple benefits to art whether it be painted by a brush or sung from the heart. Art has the ability to allow people to see situations from

     Up until the twentieth century art theorists had consistently sought for a definition of art—a definition that would determine a set of necessary and sufficient conditions for something to be called art. But artists in the 20th century did not want to be defined, and they deliberately tried to create artworks that would not fit under some theorist’s umbrella. We saw the Beatniks with their free verse; we saw the pop art of Andy Warhol; we saw the rise of abstractionist and surrealist painters; we saw “happenings”, and we saw “ready-made” art, all of which combined to make the finding of a definition of art almost

Arts, the essential and necessary part of human daily life, can bring human satisfaction, happiness and give them a creative and colorful life as well. Music, operas, and plays go deeply into our human’s life, but nobody notices that the art industry has a shortfall and received limited helps from government right now. In the perception of an art management student’s eyes, the art have a shortage in human resources, which will strongly affect human’s life transparently. This issue can break down into five pieces. Lacking of human resources means there will be a low college enrollment rate in art area, no great marketing director in art organization, low employee rate and low wages, low art manager to manage organization’s program, and the community will have a low evaluation of art.

The career I have chosen to research is journalism. I specifically chose this career because I love writing, designing, and reading the news and learning about the news of the day. I read a lot of news, review articles, my favorite, opinion articles, and the internet is my favorite resource. I enjoy writing well enough to do it for the rest of my life. The reason I want to have this career is that I am very excited about the idea of delivering news, and writing stories for people who want to be heard. I want to find the smaller social groups, and age groups and share a story about them. The minorities need to be heard, everyone needs to be heard. I want to be their ticket to getting out of a bad situation. I want to help them to tell their story and feel like they have hope that someone that cares for them and is willing to help. I think that is the main reason I want to be a journalist.
