Undergraduate / "Art was integrated into my life unintentionally" - Statement of Intent/Personal [3]
i'm applying to the School of Visual Arts, SUNY Purchase, and Manhattanville. THANK YOU
Art was integrated into my life unintentionally and suddenly; a mere schedule change led me from a Calculus class to a Drawing and Painting class. At first I was unaware of the complexity and the challenge that creating a piece of artwork presented, it was an unfamiliar process to me. But as the class progressed, my appreciation for artwork, as well as the challenge, grew tremendously. I began to notice that art has strong influences on everyday life, that it is contained in almost every aspect and component of it. Sometimes I catch myself staring at the architecture of a building, or the layout of a page in a magazine, contemplating the design process. Visual arts became increasingly fascinating to me, due to its subtlety yet prominence in daily life. I am entertained by the fact that art serves as a leeway for emotions to be released, and felt by other people. The power that visual arts possesses is unlike any other, it has the ability to influence the subconscious mind in profound ways.
A career in visual arts would be ideal for me. The fact that art is a universal language, that it speaks to a part of you that is usually unattainable makes me want to be involved and create it myself. The way that it feels when a paint brush is in hand, when assembling a new canvas is done. It feels right, and it has become a familiar and loved feeling to me. Although I am not exactly sure of what aspect of visual arts I want to be involved in, I know that going to a creative school will help me find out. Someday, I hope to be a creator of building, or a magazine page, or a billboard advertisement that someone looks at and wonders what it took to make this piece of art, just like I am today.
