Undergraduate / Personal Statement for Tulane! I'm struggling with coming up with something engaging! [3]
Hello I wrote an uncompleted Tulane personal statement, can any check and see what I have already is eligible for Tulane standards?
Ever since I was 5, I enjoyed drawing. While I was younger, art was nothing more than just a side hobby; But as I grew over time, I felt as if art became a much more bigger part of my life. I love art, but my interest primarily lies in creating vibrant and abstract pieces, or re-creating painful movements of my life, along with designing characters (humans and animals) and creating a backstory and implementing them in a situation that would be similar to mine.
The dedication I have towards my art stems primarily from my past. I had low self-esteem, and was diagnosed with social anxiety along with a small eating disorder. I was born with an oral condition called bi-maxillary protrusion. It disfigured the lower part of my face. I retrieved braces about 6 years ago to fix the problem, but still till this day these number of issues still affect me. During this time, I needed away to escape from reality once in a while. I never had anyone to talk so I wanted a way to portray those feelings. I feel that art became a gateway for me to showcase myself about who I am and what I like. I didn't truly have any friends and I never really liked going out to any social events, so instead, I would just decide to stay home and inspirationally draw things that made me cheerful. Whether it be drawings that displayed struggle or something happy, letting out those feelings though art helped me progressed to become the artist I am today.
Japanese culture/animation, big studios such as Ghibli and Madhouse, and Comics such as DC motivate me to do illustration as a career; they were my biggest inspiration for drawing. I remember watching the beautiful Japanese film "spirited away" and being blown away by how imaginative and emotional it is. I recall the time when I picked up my first comic book, Batman: Under the Redhood and was captivated by the creation of the characters and fictional world. The creativity, the strong storytelling, and the expression of these artists and the integration of that in their works provoked me to create vibrant/mellow, abstract, and cartoony-aesthetic works of art.
Currently, I am now pushing myself to do works that consist of capturing the simplistic aspects of life, in addition to energetic/moody and abstract work with lively color variations. I enjoy drawing works with basic ordinary things such as: Animals, people and plants. My favorite part of drawing is the "inspiration" portion, as I like portraying realistic, colorful, and cartoony-like works in a digital sense.
