cincibohemian94 Typing this one a big crazy computer in TimeWarner store! I am cool :)
How I did it: It was an accident really. I've been in some form of acting since 6th grade and when it came time to look at high schools, my mother found a website for something called The School for Creative and Performing Arts in Cincinnati. Before I knew it, I was putting together a writing portfolio, memorizing a monolouge from their website, and putting together a song for my vocal audition. It took a lot of hard work and some dedication,… Read how I did it…
How I did it: Ever since dropping out of college, I have longed to further my true educational goals: art, music, travel, language.Through no real effort or planning of my own, I now find myself attending 16 hours a week of art school at the coolest educational institution I have ever been a part of. While I did not delineate a traditional route to arrive at this goal, I did manifest the result. By keeping it in my mind as something that I … Read how I did it…
How I did it: i made art for years because i loved it, then my high school teachers helped me organize my work into a portfolio. i worked all through high school to pay for it, and applied to five art schools. i got into all of them, and picked the one i found the most inspiring. then i worked hard and learned to over analyze my art and treat it like a chore instead of a love. eventually i learned to enjoy art again,… Read how I did it…

wow! very scary indeed since it’s in another country. but brilliant and a bit unexpected…
wonderful school in a tiny place…
the interview is in two week’s time
*The Parting Of The **Sensory** summer? allready?!
I am not quite as single-minded about this goal anymore- i might retire it…..I love art but I don’t think I could be happy making a living though it….but in college I certainly plan on taking lots of arts-focused classes….also this summer I’ll get another taste of the art school crowd and buzz. I plan on taking a 4 week fiber arts course at Interlochen in Mi….It should be an amazing experience. I can’t wait!

I handed the portfolio in today, along with a hundred other people. I’ve had some problems getting the neccessary paperwork sent from one country to another and if it falls because of that I’ll have to cry. In fact I already did, because it really might.
But for now, I’m relived to have done it and very excited. Whatever happens, I know I’ve worked hard and will continue to.

application time for the schools I’m trying for starts now.
I’m just trying to get the last couple of pictures finished and am sorting out the presentation. Have bought myself some pale grey passepartout card to back all the pieces with. Fairly neutral but neither black or white and draws the different styles together a bit. Written some short texts about the work to go along side it. Written a personal statement and have my references and certificates all bagged up.
Same lady who looked through it the first time offered to take a glance at the final thing and I do hope she’s positive about it..
I’m feeling generally more positive about the whole thing.

OK, I was shitting myself before this, because I do find it hard to show anyone my stuff. Should actually have dine this a lot earlierso I’d have more time to accomodate any useful criticism people gave me. But I am so glad I did at last and it was actually a very positive experience, especially since I’ve been losing faith in a lot of my pieces and the teacher I’d asked to look at them was very positive. She gave me some very useful advice and was able to see things in a different way to me, suggesting more effective ways to show pictures together that I hadn’t considered. Also reminding me that no one is looking for perfection at this stage, rather for potential and openness and an interest in seeing things differently and expressing this visually.
I am very grateful for her taking the time to this and for her insightful comments. I have regained soem of the motivation I’d lost.

So I go to life drawing and etching classes at a local college, bacause I want to learn even if I’m not in the position of going to school full time yet.
At class today I actually plucked up the courage to ask the teacher if she would take a look at my portfolio with me. She agreed and we made a date. How exciting, how nice of her and how nerve wracking.
