Dear members of the assessment committee,

I have always been a student of art because of the pleasure that art itself gives me. I have loved art since I picked up a pen. I have learned many useful skills and artistic techniques due to my wide range of interests. I learned and honed my artistic abilities through formal education. When I was in the best art high school in China, my sculptures and body paintings and daily sketches were collected by the school. My fashion photography was well-received on social media. During my undergraduate sculpture program, I achieved near-perfect scores in zinc plate prints and screen prints and marbling and metal casting.

A keen eye for detail has led to a series of works based on the seemingly mundane theme of food. I also rely on reading books to deepen my work. I believe that reading is important for art creators, so I read different types of books every day to broaden my thinking and cognition. The accumulation of knowledge and my life in Europe have made me curious about the broader field of art and the world, which has made me even more determined to continue on this path.

What attracts me most to the Art Department is the importance placed on the artist's self-growth and development, as well as his or her ability to make a favourable impact on society, which is completely in line with my values. I believe that only those who have a deep knowledge and understanding of themselves and their ideas are better able to produce meaningful work in collaboration with others and society. I am particularly attracted to the inclusive and dynamic learning environment of the Fine Arts Department and the diverse backgrounds of its instructors. My undergraduate projects with classmates have impressed upon me the importance of communication in creative endeavours, so I value the opportunity to exchange ideas and perspectives with artists and professionals. I am interested in the part of the Fine Arts Department's workshop that involves cooking, which dovetails with my interest in food art. I look forward to participating in the excursion with my classmates and experiencing the power of art in a natural setting, as I believe that we are complementary to nature and that we can be its medium and convey its energy in the form of art. What also attracted me to the school was the professional and complete facilities, and I believe that only through a lot of experimentation can I find the right medium for my work.

The most important thing about art is to spread it to the public, and what we have to do is use art to make our power to solve problems for society and the world. In the next years of my studies, I would like to experiment more with video forms and other visual presentations and find some way to be part of my personal language and hopefully collaborate with people who share the same passion for creativity. Attending and organizing exhibitions, continuing my artistic career and supporting life and creativity through my skills.

I would like to conclude by reiterating my desire and passion for the art department, and I hope to be able to contribute my values and talents to the school. I believe that my artistic abilities can create beneficial communication and collaboration with fellow students and other organizations to grow together. I believe that by working together we can push the boundaries of creativity and create truly impactful work.
