Why I Want To Pursue An IFA Scholarship

Art and I did not agree during elementary school, and I often refused to participate in the periods in the day devoted to coloring. Fourth grade came and there were no art requirements in my sad school in North Carolina, so instead of art, I was actually able to choose more physical activities and put art out of my life right up until sixth grade. I signed up to participate in Orchestra because for some reason my sixth grade mind thought the banjo would be an

Getting into Istituto Marangoni will obviously help with my passion for fashion and styling. I know a fashion school helps you to try a range of styles. I want to learn new and advanced skills in fashion and creative styling. I know I will also be inspired because

For as long as I can remember, I have loved creating art. At a restaurant with my family, I would eat only until I had finished my drawing with the crayons the waiter gave us to go with the large, paper table cloth. To me, it was an amazing canvas of potential princesses, fairies, mermaids, dragons, and castles. Through the years, my love for art has only gotten stronger. It is for this reason that I hope to pursue graphic design in college, so that eventually I can get hired to design book covers, movie posters, song album covers, or something of that sort. Many people fail to understand the artistic ability that is helpful in the field of graphic design. Part

From the age of five, I obtained an interest in art through the amateur use of crayons and bulky markers. Since then, my interest in art continued to steadily grow. Upon entering the 11th grade, I decided that I would pursue a career in Graphic Design after taking an AP Studio Art elective, and my decision has not wavered since then.

I want to study Fashion marketing because I wanted to learn know more about the business side of Fashion. The opportunity of combining my interest in fashion products with marketing skills really excites me. To gain more personal and communication skills to be successful in this ever increasing competition of the global environment. A deep understanding of the products and consumers desires is necessary in order to promote the products effectively and also gain access to the problem faced by companies in the real world. Also to learn more about the marketing side of fashion and the consumer-led practices on the

Coming from a poor family, money has always been sacred. My father lost his job due to a disability and my mother stays at home taking care of my autistic brother. I work at a part time restaurant three days a week which is not nearly enough for college expenses. In my graduating year of high school, I earned above average grades which helped me to receive enough financial aid to attend a higher end college such as Indiana University of Bloomington. I am the only one in my immediate family to attend college so this past year has been a blessing. However, in order to reach my goals of working in the music industry my family and I alone are not able to supply the funds to follow my dreams. This scholarship will help me advance my learning opportunities

I did not take my art seriously when I entered high school. I had been drawing for 13 years of my life, but it never seemed possible that I could use my talents to amount to anything. Then my sophomore year I took introduction to 3d and introduction to 2d art as electives. That year I would meet the teacher that would help me become the artist I am today. Mr. Smith is the art teacher at my school. He took one look at my sketch book and told me I had potential. As the year progressed he told me he wanted me to take AP 2D design with the seniors the next year.

When I graduate from college, I aspire to instruct elementary school where I would have the ability to mold young students to have strength, intelligence, and optimism similar to mine and embrace the world as it is yet also embrace the “formidable” transitions as well instead of fearing both. I would evoke tenacious character traits out of each and every student to encourage him or her to succeed and progress far in life with elevated standards for him or herself. While this career lends itself to a more valuable experience, it does not entail the same value monetarily. Teaching would allow me to be rich in the heart not in the pocket, but I am not pursuing this career for that particular reason. I pursue it for the reasons listed above. I aspire to impact the world and believe the greatest impact begins from the roots of a community which reside in the elementary schools nurtured by their teachers.

I am highly interested in art since I was little. I always draw on blank papers or draft papers, and then put colors on them to make them seem more realistic. As I grow up, I start to get in touch with some completely different art styles. I discovered that I liked animate characters, and start sketching my own ones based on my story setting. When I am now in high school, I take graphic design classes, and realized that graphic design is a very compelling course. It teaches me a variety of different art

When I was in high school, I always had a bigger picture for myself that I wanted to be a Nurse “Midwife” because I loved kids so much. But when it the time of my freshman year in college I realized that I wanted to fulfill my purpose I have a voice and I needed to show off my real talents in what I am more interested in and can enjoy my everyday life with the career that fitted me way more. Fashion came along and I just knew that after watching so many tv shows and designers that I just love so much I knew within my first part of my freshman year in college that would be the career I would love to strive for. I have worked on many projects not only just with clothing but showing off my leadership skills by telling a story that others’ lives

Design has always been an important thing in my life. Since my childhood I have been exposed to design. I can remember having multiple sketchbooks scattered around my room, filled with many random things from figurines to unrealistic car drawings. Growing up, the innocence of being a child allowed me to discover my creative ability at a young age. My mom saw my passion in designing things and always encouraged me to take-up opportunities that would enable me to use my skills to problem solve.

I would like to receive this scholarship because I feel like I am a good candidate. I have been working hard to get a scholarship and follow my dreams by studying in the United States. All through my life I have been working extremely hard on my grades, in my athletics and helping in my community. I feel like I would be chosen for this scholarship because of all my hard work. My goal is to be able to study mechanical engineering at a school in the United States. After I receive my degree I plan to work in car companies like Ford, General Motors, BMW, or other companies.

I have always been referred to as the “artistic kid” growing up. I would draw a lot, create amazing sculptures out of Lego’s, and was naturally inclined with technology and software. I became more interested in trying different mediums as I grew older and more aware of what is available. I’ve worked with oil paint, acrylics, charcoal, pencil, spray paint, and digital work in Adobe. I have been fortunate that my guardians have tried to support the artist in me throughout the years.

One of the three most significant events in my life that have shaped me in the way that I am is the memory of doing art with my family. Ever since I was little I remember playing with clay at my grandmother’s house. My aunts would also help shape my creative side by tracing Disney characters and showing me how to draw them. As long as I can remember I always had art with me. From the early days of preschool to now I have always gone the route of creating things.

As a child, my parents would making me practice drawing for thirty minutes a day, before I could go outside a play. As I got older, I was already enrolled in college art classes in high school, and I was preparing to give my life to my passion. After high school, I went to De Anza community college, because I had heard they had a good art program, but things changed. I had a fallout with one of my art professor, even though I still had the passion, I decide to keep an opened mind of what I wanted to with my life. Finally, I enrolled into some sociology and psychology courses, which led to a life changing event. I was fascinated with how the human brain works and how I wanted to help
