Prompt: Writing is a vital component of being an artist , and an extremely important part of being a student at SAIC. Tell us about you, your art-making practices, and why you are a strong candidate for the School of the Art Institute of Chicago's (SAIC) undergraduate program.Include information about what inspires you, what does your artistic process look like, share why you are interested in and utilize certain materials, exhibitions in which you have participated, or other activities that contribute to the making of your work. If you are applying to the BFA with an Emphasis in Writing, your statement needs also to address how you imagine a studio arts environment will impact your writing practice. (The application won't accept a response shorter than 250 words.)

ESSAY Beginning:Walt Disney once said "When you're curious, you find lots of interesting things to do." And I agree. I let my artistic inquires lead me. Can I do this? What if..? How about if I experiment with...? These are just some of the questions that lead me to my designing style. I like to design based on the project mostly, the mood it must have in order to work properly. I usually let my curiosity take me places I would've never gone, to do things in my artwork that otherwise I never thought would work.

I've always been a curious person wondering how things work, as a child I used to mix cleaning solutions from my bathroom just to see what would happen, my mother used to call these "concoctions". As I got older I focused this energy on art.

HELP!!!!!: I don't know where I'm going with this i know what I'm trying to say but thats it. I wanna talk about how my curiosity has helped me as an artist and designer.

The best thing for you to do at the moment is to just write about what inspires you. You say that you want to talk about your curiosity and how it helps your art. So go ahead and discuss that. Just talk about whatever comes to your mind. Be as long and descriptive as possible. It does not matter if you feel like it is not answering the prompt, is a weak essay, or just does not feel right. What we need to draw out of you at the moment are the thoughts and feelings that will create the response to the essay. Draft those into a rough essay and post it here. We can then analyze the content for you and let you know which parts should be included, why and how it should be built up in your essay, and finally, how the chronological order of the discussion in the paper should be. The current introduction that you have is good, But I suggest that you open instead with the statement about your curiosity about art and the way you mother called it "concoctions" in order to write an interesting opening statement. The quote from Walt Disney should be put on ice for later use. Maybe as part of your closing paragraph or something. I am sure we can find a place for it if you really want to use it as a part of your essay :-)
