National Art Personal Statement

“I didn’t even know this existed,” Jonathan Lucro, 19, an art major said. “It’s a shame that it’s a 15-20 minute walk from the main campus because I’ve got a tight schedule so I don’t get many chances to explore the school. Most of the art I get to

Education is important as we develop a society of lifelong learners, but budget cuts for schools should not be at the expense of art programs. All students have unique learning styles and ways they best absorb information. To compromise that process is destructive to the success of their overall learning experience. “The Sanctuary of School” makes the reader aware of the many individuals who go through the public-school system. Barry’s essay advocates the need for funding of art programs and the supportive, creative outlets they

Of all the things I value, what makes me most happy is when I have the opportunity to help someone in need and I get to achieve that opportunity. The clubs I joined in high school allowed me to express this thing I love to do in many different aspects helping different people with many obstacles they face. The first activity I participated in was for entertainment purposes for dogs that are kept in pounds because they have not been adopted. This made my community stronger because we raised awareness to people who were interested in adopting after our activity, in addition to helping the dogs that are in need of attention and excitement using our abilities with art. In addition to this activity, National Art Honor Society has helped our school

Students will create a juxtaposed artwork representing the past of Aboriginal culture and the future according to Paul Keating’s speech. The material used will be ones from the nature such as sticks and leaves to create a depiction of Aboriginal history. The artwork will tell two stories one being the discrimination against Aboriginals and the other being a better future for them. Using earthy colours, natural materials and techniques used by Aboriginals student will create a beautiful artwork explain the Indigenous Australians past and future. • Drama activity-

“Everything you can imagine is real.” Pablo Picasso (Andrew Medal, 2015). Pablo Picasso created these word in all of his paintings, because his paintings were so magnificently different than every other artist’s paintings. The way picasso innovated his field is incredible because he is still affecting many artists to day in his ways of abstractness and beauty. Albert von Szent-Gyorgy once said, “Discovery consists of seeing what everybody has seen and thinking what nobody has thought”. This is what picasso did to change the art world

I am writing to apply for graduate program at New York University to study Art Education to start a step to become an art teacher. I consider education as an essential guidance and instruction in assorted knowledge, skills, and history. Especially in art, there are many concepts, materials, and practices in relation to art history. The art history is still ongoing where fine art has made its transition to contemporary art. Based on the professional art education from my undergraduate program and the past work experiences in art environment, I find myself responsible to inspire and teach students different aspects that art retains. This passionate nature has led me to apply for masters program in Art Education. I believe that New York University will advise virtuous and exceptional curricula for me to gain professional attributes as an art educator.

My commitment to arts management and policy developed through my extracurricular involvement in the performing arts and work as a Development Assistant at Primary Stages, an off-Broadway theatre company in New York City. I am applying for the MA in Arts Management, Policy, and Practice in the School of Arts, Languages and Cultures at the University of Manchester due to its emphasis on practical skills and work experience. Moreover, as I pursue a career as a performing arts manager, the university’s proximity to arts and cultural organizations will provide opportunities to engage with the competitive field of arts administration.

The arts have been an essential part of culture since the beginning of civilization. Over time, art education paths became more normal in society, and were implemented into schools. These classes have gone through numerous budget cuts, but statistics have kept the field alive, showing improvement in core subjects is associated with a sound foundation in at least one art. The fine arts come in many forms, and each one is unique (Encyclopedia of Career and Vocational Guidance).

Art is removed from any notion of real truth, an inherently flawed copy of an already imperfect world. Art as an imitation is irrelevant to what is real.

Many people have told me that I am passionate, albeit seeing myself as an easygoing spirit. I do not boast of a scroll of extracurricular activities or a person with exceptional achievements in intellect, but I stand to be a person equipped with a unique voice that aspires to move hearts and inspire minds through my fascination for the arts.

After graduating from the University of Oklahoma, I started working at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City. For about a year, I worked with artists and authors to organize book signing events. Now, life has taken me to Texas, and I am currently working at the Houston Museum of Natural Science, the most visited museum in Houston. I have decided that a graduate degree in Museum Studies will help advance me in a career field in which I am very passionate. For my graduate research, I would like to delve deeper into museum theory, work to fully understand how guests interact with objects, learn how curators create exhibitions, and research the capabilities of digital technologies in the galleries.

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

The headlines they choose to use are inviting to ease the anxiety of longing students who desire to go to a school for creative arts. The headline ‘Virtual Tour’ helps ease one’s nerves by showing them the layout of the campus and how the classes are set up to the student’s liking. SCAD makes it clear that one do not have to be on the campus to learn the material instead let one do it online at home. They showcase that they have over 40 programs for students to match to their talents. Overall, SCAD’s has created a balanced, sound website that appeals to artist searching for a career, with credible programs, and a reputation for being number one art school in the United States.

In the perspective of the global north I believe that we are all living in the digital age. In the global north, technology has been included into our daily lifestyle. Technology was first created to reduce human effort. An example can be as simple as writing a book. Instead of using hand writing to write you can use a computer. I know when I write down on paper there are many things that are limited. Like when you constantly make mistakes and you start to erase a lot and the paper will start to rip. Also when writing long essays, I start it get lazy and my handwriting gets sloppy and in the end the essay isn’t even readable. Where, when using a computer you can edit your work from anywhere you want, there is different fonts to choose from and there are certain tools that will help you like spell-check and auto-correct. This is when technology is put into great use because it is used to help speed up the process of a simple thing that is used in our life. I believe that it is amazing how technology has developed over the past few years because now, not only does it simplify the things in life, it is now created to entertain us. Even though technology is making our lives easier we must not depend on it too much because if we do, all the other things that are important will start slowly disappearing, like books. The value of books are slowly decreasing because of technology.

Arts Education (capital E) is a noble pursuit to which I devote much of my life and career. Every student needs the vocabulary, skills and perceptions gained by studying Art, Culture and the Humanities. Too many people say, "I took piano for a few years, but I quit," or "I saw the movie, why go out on a rainy night to see the play," unaware that music belongs to us all, art belongs to us all, and a cathartic experience in a darkened theater makes us think, feel and become more human. Art is as much a way for us to understand ourselves as knowing our history or understanding the laws of physics. Art is not for artists and talented people, art is for us all, but some students may not see the relevance of attending an art opening when final exams are looming.
