<p>Well some schools, like RISD, NYU Steinhardt studio art, so on, required an artist’s statement and plus I already had written a lot of essays for the apps because of the number of schools I applied to (15!).</p>
<p>I experiment (or at least try to) in every media possible. Right now I’m putting down Sculpture as my intended major in Sam Fox but am definitely planning on taking electives in drawing, painting, photography, etc. I don’t really know if that answers your question.
Mine was held at a local public gallery and I had to apply for the slot.</p>
<p>I applied regular:
- I knew I had the grades to be at least considered.
- I knew that my portfolio was strong, plus when I met Mauricio during a portfolio day he seemed very enthusiastic about my work (and truth be told, when I visited the campus earlier this month he had my postcard from my exhibition taped on his door =]).
- I knew that the level of my passion for art was quite apparent… as cheesy as that sounds haha. I worked/work in a studio (12 hrs/week), I was an art teacher at an art institution, attended a lottt of outside classes (but mainly because my high school doesn’t seem to like art nor offer any art APs), was art dept. editor 2yrs, and I could go on, but you get the idea. So yeah my resum</p>
