New School Parsons Personal Statement

My interest in the arts stemmed long before my entrance into high school, however that does not mean it did not have an impact on that career choice. I feel that several of the classes at Monrovia High School have either introduced or prepared me in certain mediums of art. Starting freshman year I took two art related classes: Intro to Art and Intro to Computer Graphics. If I had any doubts about my career choice, they were quashed by my experience in these classes. I was definitely appreciative that there were art related classes available every year of my high school career. Coupled with art classes through Ryman Arts, I feel that my art skills have improved considerably. Currently I am taking AP Studio Art at the high school, and although the class is rigorous in that many art pieces need to be finished quickly, it definitely has given me an accurate view of several art careers that require many art pieces quickly. All in all, I believe that my high school has

Despite taking the place of a core class, fine arts can bolster and strengthen a student’s abilities in said core classes. Art is accessible to everyone and therefore can create a new sense of unity and connection among peers in and out of school. Students often don’t have many ways to express themselves, but by taking classes in the fine arts, students would have an expressive medium to do so inside of school. Skills learnt in fine arts classes can be used for a student’s entire life, regardless of age or condition, and thanks to the many other advantages of these courses, should be required for students to

If I get into this high school, I would like to join the visual arts academy because I have always loved to create works of art. Throughout my middle school experience, I have learned so much about the arts. When I was 9 years old, I was accepted into the Talented Art Program at my elementary school. I belonged to this group all throughout middle school, and I have learned so much about who I am as an artist and as a person.

Academically, I look forward to attending an institution where I can personalize my education. College of Art and Science at Penn resonates with my educational goals. The College Curriculum satisifies my desire for well-rounded higher education. I can flexibly decide my class schedule and learn across disciplines. I can study a wide range of art and science knowledge and broaden my horizon. While discovering the fundamental principles of nature, I can enjoy the beauty and charm of humanity and art. This general and specialized education, like the Penn student Kramar who speaks in the video, enables me to integrate creative art into my scientific research to better understand the pattern of microscopic world and ignite lot of innovative ideas.

In tenth grade, I moved four hours away from my friends and family to attend a public, residential high school for the arts: the South Carolina Governor’s School for the Arts and Humanities (SCGSAH). The school, open to South Carolina students upon audition, offers intense arts study with strong academic classes. Each teacher is passionate about the subjects and students they teach, and every student is devoted to their studies because they truly want to be at school. Despite the intense demands from my academic and arts teachers, I was excited by the level of commitment from both students and faculty and the liberal arts approach to education. When searching for colleges, I chose schools that would continue this liberal arts focus while still

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.

When my guidance counselor and I had the first conversation about college, I knew that a liberal arts curriculum was the right way to go. It would give me the ideal environment to nourish my curiosity and intellectual drive to learn about philosophy and art. Then I realised how important practising visual arts is for me. Therefore, I was on a quest to find a liberal arts college which actively encouraged the growth of my creative drives as much as other subjects.

How do I expect my education at The Art Institute to help me attain my goals? My education at The Art Institute can help me attain my goals of entering the music industry and impacting society through production. As a musician I feel a high love for music. Music without a certification will not pervade me as an education with certification would.

My primary goal as a student is to pursue an MFA and become a working artist. I only recognized this goal a few years ago but I have been dedicating every moment towards successfully achieving it. I have participated in almost all forms of the Fine Arts including violin and theater but I have found that I thrive most in a community of visual artists. During my junior year I was nominated and accepted to attend The Governor’s School for the Arts where I formed connections with professional artists and improved my own work by applying new techniques they taught me. There I also developed a passion for sculpture and printmaking. I know that VCU is ranked first in the country as a public university art school leading me to successfully graduate

I was drawn to Bates, initially, because I knew I wanted to attend a small liberal arts college. A liberal arts education is very important to me. Being undecided as to my area of study, I know a liberal arts education, like a Bates education, will allow me to explore several interests, challenge myself, and grow. I also know that a liberal arts education will expose me to the humanities and the sciences, will continue to teach me how to think critically, and will help me develop lifelong skills.

Beginning my post-secondary education at Frostburg University, I was looking for an institution that would be able to satisfy my interests and hobbies. All throughout my educational career, I have always been interested in computer science, coding, and networking with different jobs in business and management. Living close to College Park, it was always an idea to attend a school that would be able to branch out to my interest. Coming out of high school, I was at a disadvantage— my time management skills were strong, but not where they should have been. I lacked the discipline needed to excel in computer science, but I was luckily set around the right people to guide me in the right direction. my close friends were able to introduced me to

When I had the chance to visit The Art Institute, I knew right away that this school is the right place for me to attend. I have been in to video production for two years now and I have grown so much passion for the art of being a visual creator. My career goal is to eventually own an independent production company. The education I will receive at The Art Institute of Philadelphia can help me by learning to produce finishing products that live up to industry standards and meeting new people who also share the same passion and career goals will help be successful in the video production business. The Art Institute can also help me by connecting me to different internships so I can have the platform to showcase my talent and prove that I have

Imagine one of your favorite classes, the class that you are most passionate about, being discouraged from continuing. Some schools have already excluded the fine arts program while other schools are still considering it. The schools that are considering or have already discouraged the fine arts programs think that the school’s budget should not be wasted on the fine arts programs and should be used for the favorable academic programs. However, not all schools agree with cutting out the fine arts program because some schools value fine arts and academic both. In my opinion, schools should definitely not exclude the fine arts program because the fine arts are inspiring, passionate, expressive, and helpful in understanding academics to an interested student.

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

Art, music, and other fine art classes are always the first things to go when schools have a budget cut, however, these things are important and necessary for children. It’s been proven that art not only to their creativity, but their academic achievements and advancements. On top of the academic and creative advantages, fine arts programs just mean a lot to some people. And it seems like the fine arts mean a lot to most students at Lewis Central High School. In my speech I’ll be focusing mainly on the art program. Now I don’t believe that our art program is at any risk of being cut, but I do believe that there are some issues that should be looked at, for example the lower classmen can take very few art classes, there are many outside art festivals and other opportunities that are not touched upon for those same lower classmen, and compared to other fine art programs the opportunities are minimal and the program itself is difficult to be apart of until later years of high school. I’ve been interested in art for as long as I can remember and recently, end of seventh grade to be exact, I decided to pursue it as a potential career, so I took as many art classes as I could. At the middle school, we were offered 1 art class a trimester and I was even lucky enough to be a teacher aide for Ms. Baker. I had the opportunity to enter contests and submit work to a festival, all in the span of one school year.
