Hi fellows
Please, evaluate my first part of essay as it needs proofreading and correction.
My name is Anton Antonov from Moscow, Russia. 26 years old. From childhood to teenage I have had frequent encounters with all sorts of visual arts. As I had attended local art school for 5 years, I had participated in a variety of original Russian art fields such as wooden and fabric painting, as well as develop traditional skills in drawing, painting , and sculpture. Attending a last pre-professional architecture school in Russia, I had cultivated an appreciation of architecture as a form of art . Consequently by asking the questions and looking for correct information I dealt with my graduation project for a gigantic shopping mall. During my education in Moscow College of Architecture I had been preoccupied with the study of Digital Medias and as a result found my first employee right at the time of graduation. I had gained the foundation necessary to place me into the architecture field. Nevertheless, as my previous academic provider has an exclusive direct pathway into the top of Architecture University in my country I was enrolled to Moscow Architecture Institute. Keeping aside the fact that I was working as an architect technician I could manage to follow aggressive curriculum for one year. However, after a year I had to choose between theory and practice. Unfortunately I opted for the latter as I had thought that my knowledge and skills enough to pursue my true passion in architecture domain. Now I do realize that certain aspects remain elusive and I seem not to have much formal education background about the role and place of architect in society.
In view of this, it is my greatest pursuit to further my level of knowledge, the elegant design of structures,and learn design principles which certainly affect global architecture community.
To pose myself intellectually in relation to various physical and cultural contexts I have faced many opportunities to improve my knowledge independently.
Past 10 years I have visited many famous places with diversity of architecture styles, from modern Asian architecture (Hong-Kong and Singapore) to ancient Europe( Egypt, Spain, Germany),even in the Oceanic region (New Zealand, Australia, Indonesia) where I prepared my English communication skills and explore local aboriginal art and architecture landmarks. However the architecture carrier requires a wide range of expertise which I am not able to gain on my own. What appeals to me about the Architecture course offered at Dalhousie University is the range of flexibility, with profession practice and theory, to suit my desire for rapid saturation of alternative education approach.
thank you
