Art Personal Statement Essay, Research Paper
From an early age I have always
had a strong interest in art, and have been involved with it in some form all
through my life. In year nine I realised that it was something that I might
like to pursue as a career, I started taking it more seriously. The Chase’s art
department encouraged me very well and helped me develop my art skills. I am currently studying Art at
A-level and have had my work exhibited in a gallery and in local industry
buildings as part of the ‘Art in the Workplace’ scheme which is organised by my
college. The piece of my artwork which
was displayed, and used in a business’s workplace was a painting inspired by an
Art Department trip to Italy. In my
spare time, I enjoy running my own comedy website with my friends, which has
enabled me to learn good organisational skills. Aside from art, I enjoy playing basketball with other students
from my college every Wednesday afternoon.
I have found this to be a welcome break from normal study, allowing me
to exercise at the same time as relieving stress. My present interest in art is
more graphic/typography based, although I do enjoy all areas of art. I have
been designing graphics on my computers from a young age and have work
published in national magazines. Not all the graphical work I do is computer
based, I enjoy using traditional mediums in a clean graphical way, as I find it
more satisfying working on a larger scale and producing something more “real”.
My current course has helped me “branch out” more; I have experimented in many
disciplines successfully producing paintings, pastels and drawings, which I had
never really developed fully before. I have had two part-time jobs
involving computer related work, in which I have been able to bring art influences
into. When working for Retail Futures, an e-commerce company based in Malvern,
I designed their corporate image, and websites for clients such as Coalport and
Parcel Force. More recently I have taken another job with a more technical
slant, for another e-commerce firm, eplexus. I still do design work, in which I
have designed websites and images for “Highwaycode.com”, and Anglo Digital a
successful venture capitalist firm. Alongside my practical experience, I am
also studying Computing at my current college, which aids me to learn the
fundamentals of computer usage and programming, an area that I am interested
in. Whilst in the lower sixth, I was
asked to help with an activity arranged by Shell Oil which was aimed at
capturing the interest of pupils around the age of ten and eleven by involving
them in scientific activities.
Throughout the day I acted as a teacher for year six pupils from various
junior schools. Working in a group, we
had to demonstrate the building of a ‘balloon boat’ and then supervise the
children whilst they attempted to build their own. This helped me to use my
communication skills in explaining the theory behind building the boat to young
people who had possibly not yet encountered that stage or type of science. Throughout my time at both school
and college, I have been involved in a number of activities, and have also made
an effort to maintain a good balance between this and my academic work. Being involved in and having the ability to give
something back to my college has always been important to me, and it is
something that I am keen to continue at College. My passion is art and I look
forward to further developing my ability at foundation and degree level.
