I am always full of passion in my favorite thing--drawing. Besides, I also go to some foundation art classes to train my art skills. After I start my life in school, art class is always my favorite class. I even thought that art can be a part of my future. Unfortunately, reality is brutal. Most of the student in my country were been told that they have to choose the department that can offer them a good job. Most of the people also believed that having a nice job is the only way to earn a lot of money, and also been known as succeed. When I’m in senior high school, I am also good at math, science and geology. I always get good grades in these courses. But why the art is not in these courses? In my country, art is not the main subject of the education, it only be categorize as a class that can make school learning not so boring. So after I finished the big exam in my last year of my senior high school, I use my final score to choose the department—Electrical Engineering— that everyone think is good but I don’t really …show more content…
At the beginning, though I don’t know what to do, everyone says that electrical engineering have a lot of course teaching us how to build a robot or writing some interesting games. But those thing that I imaging didn’t happened. In the department, there are only lots of fundamental classes, just like high school, but it is harder and abstracter. I know that these foundation class is really important, but I can’t just really understand it. Furthermore, most of my classmates are already ready for the electrical engineering, they had already participate in some engineering camp since they were in high school. Not like those who are already for the college, I am struggle in the class. Fortunately, I am a person who never gives up, I still try my best to act like I am good at engineering. The best way is to get a great score, also make my parents proud of
While art does have its advantages, it will not solve everyone’s problems. It is true that not everyone enjoys the thrill of creating a beautiful masterpiece because they might have been forced to take that class. However, those who love these classes show that there is a relationship between creativity and
“You’ll never make a living as an artist,” a phrase I have heard nonstop from family, friends, and just about everyone growing up. A phrase I constantly told myself while trying to pick my major when I made the big transition in going to college. Coming from a family of doctors, veterinarians, and other various medical careers, it was almost unheard of to pursue a career in the arts. I explored business, advertising, teaching, and many other careers, but in the end, I decided to place happiness over wealthiness and I chose to go through with a career path in Visual Communication Design. Looking more into an art major and questioning if I had made the right decision, I learned that so many of the things people say about artists are just rumours or myths. In today’s society, artists are not starving, they are thriving and we need them to keep the world running. Unlike myself, many people decide to not get a job in the arts because they listen to the false claims of the people that tell them that they will become a starving artist and have no money. In reality, creative jobs are extremely needed in today 's society, and there are actually very many perks in pursuing an art career. Some of the many perks include, being known to make an average amount of money, have little to no decrease in job outlook, being statistically happier than other careers, while making others and the world around you a much more positive place.
An introductory course for both the general interest and art major student: a survey of the nature and role of the visual arts in society. Art theory, art practices and an overview of art history will be required. The Medias of art will also be explored. Field trips are required.
School subjects make well as future career path yet may oblige more educating than different sorts of professions. Your most loved class in secondary school could great launch you into your future career major however; you must be ready to work for it.
Imagine world that is bland, along with its individuals all the selfsame. In result of the reprehension of creative courses in academia. That previously mentioned world would soon become an actuality. When budget cuts were accruing in my school district; I remembered my fine arts teachers were petrified that not only their department would cease to exist but they would no longer have an occupation. There is a constant reminder of how paramount the sciences and mathematics are; but the fine arts such as music, ceramics, art, and all the other courses that allow creative freedom are important as well.
In fact, art has always been an inseparable part of my life. My journey with art started when I was still in Iran and my mother enlisted me in my first extracurricular art class. After moving to Beijing, the capital of China, I became fascinated with Chinese painting that is very different from western paintings in both mediums and techniques. Thus, I signed up for one-to-one classes for Chinese Gongbi and Shui-mo painting. When my journey brought me to the United States, I took advantage of the flexible high school curriculum that I previously did not have and enrolled in a variety of Art classes. I was able to make my own short animation, explore different mediums such as watercolor, acrylic, and clay, learn to develop in the dark room what I photographed with my film camera, and create works of art such as sculptures and paintings, all of which have been displayed at my schools galleries. After my virtual tour of Jewett Arts Center, I fancied of walking down the halls and be inspired by the great variety of artworks. The art center resonates the promise that I can further explore my artistic abilities and perhaps step out of my comfort zone and lead a new adventure with oil
Since I was a little girl art has been a part of my life, whether it has been painting my favorite celebrity, knitting a blanket, or drawing Time Square. I’ve always found joy when creating something others will admire. With my love of art came a decision every teenager has to make,“ what will you do for the rest of your life”. With lots of questioning and deliberation, I made the conclusion to further my passion into a career by going to art school in Chicago.
My parents would always force me to study, so therefore, I would always study hard and try to finish my daily chores as soon as possible so I can find time to squeeze in art. My parents always expected me to receive high grades, so as they wished, I gradually stopped doing art and focused more on studying throughout my school years. However, my passion for art never decreased, but had to be hidden deep inside my heart. I always had to convince myself that art was something I could do as a hobby and there was something more important that I needed to focus on for a brighter future, however, I was
What is my current situation? I am a senior at CAT studying for the SAT and ACT with a great GPA,good grades and I am taking not one but two Art Classes during the year.Not only will these classes teach me new techniques in art but also prepare me for what I want to do in college.I plan on going to a great college that specializes in Animation,Architecture or engineering in hopes of someday changing the world into my own creation because ,as quoted by Henry David Thoreau,”This world is but a canvas to our
Even through childhood, I had never been very interested in school. I have always been more concerned and focused elsewhere. I have always had a passion for art, especially music. These are subjects I know about thoroughly well. I think passion plays an important role in the quality of your work. I never felt strongly about math or english, but exceeded in art, science, and social sciences, like psychology and sociology. I believe these concepts work together. Even though science, psychology, and sociology are considered academic subjects, I can relate them all together. These kinds of subjects allow you to expand your mind past just facts and words in a book. I use my own experiences to relate and to observe. I find interest in subjects where I can learn from others and learn from myself. Books can hold a lot of information, but the human brain can consume information that can be translated into actions. A human brain can create and think beyond a world that is strictly black and white. A human being possesses feelings and experiences. Street-smarts are produced by experience. During elementary school, I had a lot of exposure to hostility from teachers because of my lack of interest in the academics. This always made me feel discouraged. All throughout this time, I felt as if my lack of academic interest meant my natural creativity had no impact or a negative impact on my success. I
When it comes , we get to chose where we go for collage. If we are good at art , we can go to art school. If we are good at
Cecilia Gaposchkin wrote an article over the movement of students who pick major that interest them more, rather than a practical job. Gaposchkin believes this opens their creativity and leads them to be a more critical thinker. I agree with her agreement, on more of a personal level since it relates to me. I chose to be a art major, for the fact of my interest and strengths. My parents on the other hand, think it’s not the best idea but i have no desire to change my major to please anyone. I’m not strong in other courses, and they do not interest me one bit so i feel the motivation is already lost. MY weakness will become my straights through my major though since i won’t be forced to improve my study skill through courses i don’t want to
I don’t want you to have doubts about your choice or whether or not your parents are happy with you. I want you to realize that they will always love you no matter what. Which is why, having both majors will help in the long run. It shows them you are very serious about art history, but you also want to be responsible. It shows that it is “just another phase” or another thing you will drop in a year like you did when you were twelve with ballet. That says a lot about you and who you want to be. When researching a little bit before writing this, I came across some qualities that art majors have in an article from Portland State University titled What Can I Do With a Degree in Art History. It stated that art history majors have solid “critical and creative thinking; oral, written, and visual communication skills” (What). These would be really helpful in the job industry because you are able to tell others what you are thinking and reasoning about a topic. Other qualities you would gain include “adaptability; the ability to work effectively individually and collaboratively; the ability to interpret cultures; organization; research and synthesis” (What). Although each of these skills can be obtained individually through other majors, it would be hard to successfully obtain them all together without having the art history background. These would all really help you in the world of business and allow you to succeed. Art history will also add valuable qualities when paired with those of
Many students come into an engineering program without a strong commitment to stay in an engineering course and to progress with an engineering degree. For students to achieve the puzzling goal of graduating in engineering requires a strong obligation, and behaviors and attitudes to follow through that obligation. To brace the commitment of the freshman engineering students an innovative project has been developed. The project dares students to develop their process to become a "World-Class Engineering Student". Having freshman engineering students design their individually custom-made learning process as part of a semester long project in the setting of a student achievement focused introduction to engineering course or any freshman engineering course will have an important impact on their academic triumph by improving the students’ confidence and motivation to succeed in engineering. This workshop will show participants how to implement the "Design your Process to become a World-Class Engineering Student" into their own introduction to engineering courses. The first year is the most important time for the Engineering Student .In this duration, student has to entirely set up his/her objectives after the exhaustive research like if someone wants to become a quality control engineer in the world level organization for this he should read about the future and scope of his relevant job position by taking the counsel from alumni, teacher or Senior Quality control engineer having
Classes that I will need to take in order to achieve my goal of being an electric engineer are courses in mathematics and physics. Math classes that I will need to take are calculus, algebra, and trigonometry (summary). My main interest is electrical engineering and all of these things do sounds quiet good, except the drop in employment rate in 2014, but my interest also lies in mechanical engineering which is not all too different.
