Personal Statement: Foundation Level 3 Art And Design

Imagineering is doing what I love building, problem solving, using teamwork, some debating and lots of other things, but the main things that made imagineering my passion is influence and building.

I’ve acquired an Associate Degree in Architecture but eventually my interest has shifted to Graphic Design which suits my artistic side more. When it comes to design, I always try to be open minded and to always think outside of the box. I believe that each and every project is a learning experience, and in my time as a freelance graphic designer and illustrator, I’ve refined old skills and acquired new ones (for example, creating typefaces and lettering) that helped me in delivering compelling, personal, and unique designs that meet and exceed my clients’ expectations.

Being inventive and creative is something I have pride in because being able to create things with my hands is incredibly satisfying, when I finish some art I can look at

My resolution to become a nurse does not hinge upon one pivotal moment in time. Rather, nursing always played a role that seemed larger than life when I was growing up. For instance, my mother attended nursing school at a time when students were not allowed to date, hence, she gave up college to become Mrs. Hubert Fritz. In turn, this inspired my two sisters, who were more than a decade older than I, to go off to college for nurse 's training. I could not help but notice how proud my parents were of Linda and Barb when they, each one in turn, were able to actualize a dream that my mother had of becoming a nurse. For I watched as my family celebrated each capping and pinning ceremony with delight. It was a

Since I was little I have always been creative and was alway making thing from found objects. I loved drawing and this was my main objective in college. Until I had to take a ceramics class for my degree and when i first started working with clay I fell in love. When I am working I feel so relaxed and it's so beautiful that you're able to make anything you want.

Also, for my creative side, I like to go above and beyond , sometimes. I like to make whatever I'm making more efficient and with as much perfection as I can. My creative side in, such as school work and projects is that I like to outdo myself sometimes . I'll go one step ahead of what I need to do to be more creative and sometimes I will fix it around to make it more like myself. Creativeness is not only ideas to me it's more of a skill to master to me. I feel like I was born with it and I can do so much with it because I feel like it's my greatest quality. I have and over these years I have made it stronger and been progressing with it , and because of the creativeness I have I am able to pick a career that will help me make the best of use of it by helping others around me. Creativity helps me with my life inside and outside of just a school. It helps where ever I am and whatever moment I am to be able to resolve issues that I may have at any point and I love this

Uniquely, my most creative side is the art of photography. It was not until I started capturing photos and seeing the beauty on my screen of the camera, that I began to see details, colors and light in a great new way. I saw trees of fall colors, beautiful hills of tons of flowers, white and fluffy snow covered mountains, and innocent faces with tons of character, those are the gorgeous and innovative aspects of photography. Photography has changed the way the world sees me and the way I see the world. It is a way to largely express my individuality in a different way and my love for living in the moment.

thing about being an artist is re-exploring art mediums that most of us seem to leave behind when we "grow up." The emotions,

The main element I love about fine arts is the way it allows me to express myself. Band and choir have let me express myself in a way that is understanding to everyone, music. I have learned to play the trumpet, French horn, and piano. I pride myself in my ability to read music and see

At first, art was just a distraction, an escape from reality, which I begin to dread so very often, everywhere I went I felt like fear and isolation follow me to every corner of my life. Art allowed me to explore escape from reality and create freely. That very feeling intoxicated my mind presenting me the key to a door that would help me escape my mind and feel entirely free.

“Never complain of what your parents couldn't give you. It was probably all they had.”-Anonymous. My aspiration has always been to achieve beyond what my parents were able to do. Ever since I was young, I would examine how my parents would have a rough time to support my family and I. My parents immigrated El Salvador to the United States having little education, since they didn't attend school most of the time because they were impelled to start working at a young age. My parents thought of their future kids and didn't want us to go through the same thing they did. Even though I didn't have brand clothes, shoes or games I was grateful for what I had even if it was hand me downs. I recognized that whatever they provided for us was worked from the sweat of their foreheads.

The feel of the brush and the smoothness of the stroke when paint meets the canvas. This feeling is what I strive for. Art to me is an escape and simply to put it in terms is my way of life. It's not just my hobby, interest, or talent it is so much more to me.

Anarchy. Reincarnation. Transformation. Art itself cannot be defined by the limited vocabulary available to us. It’s so much more than we allow ourselves to access. Art means destruction, the total and complete reversal of everything we knew before. Art is yielding to the chaos inside us, restructuring our identities to the whims of that wily beast. When we create, we are born again in a new form. The process of creating something valuable is one that begins with complete and utter oblivion, and contorts into the manifestation of everything we are and everything we hold dear. My art has always been the thrill I find from exploring and critically analyzing issues of social justice. Over the years, my perception of these issues has changed dramatically, as have my outlets of expression, but the one constant has always been my capacity to find empowerment from raising my voice.

I am a graphic designer with a total of five years experience working in the graphics world. Throughout my educaion and experiences I have had the pleasure of working on some really great projects within both the print and digital market.

It is widely acknowledged that life is full of choices. The direction you choose to take today decides who you will be in the future. This is the motto I greatly appreciate and firmly believe in. I have spent my past extracurricular life in developing a keenness for architecture and growing from ignorance to experience and knowledge. My personal interests, work experience and education, make the Master in Architecture of the University of Texas at Austin, the right next step in pursuit of my career goals. Earning the M.Arch will enable me to pursue my career as a practitioner, a researcher, or even a professor of education administration. If I could be accepted to the program, I will develop my experience and interests in the emphasize
