<p>Excellent recommendations from my past art teacher and Spanish teacher.</p>

<p>Important note: they initially didn’t see my portfolio because I applied undecided. But, I then sent my blog to my regional counselor ( [Wyatt</a> DeMasters: Artist in the Making](<a href=“http://wyattdemastersart.blogspot.com%5DWyatt”>http://wyattdemastersart.blogspot.com) ) who put it on file.</p>

<p>First year college student, from Ohio.</p>
