What Role Does Art Play in Your Life?

Artist Statement
What Role does Art play in your life? Art to me is an expression of the mind through drawing, sculpting, painting, etc. art plays a major role in my life because after I graduate from high school I would like to become a fashion designer or an artist. If I become a fashion designer I would like to own my own business in fashion. But if I become an artist I would like to live in a big house and draw and paint portraits of people all day and sell them to make money. For now,as far as art and loving art, I would not trade my life as a young artist for any other subject in the world. In my opinion this feels like where I belong and being a young artist is the best choice that I ever made.

Why did you select the work you submitted for your Art/Photography portfolio? I selected these eight pieces of art for my portfolio because these are the pieces that I most enjoyed working on and they show the thing that I like to draw. These pieces are mostly portraits of different people worked in various mediums and different artists’ styles. And these are the things that interest me most in drawing and painting my artwork.

How do you hope people will react when they look at your work? I hope that when people look at my artwork they think that it is the best work that they have yet seen and would like to see more of my works. I also hope that when people view my work that they see that I am a great artist and my work is what that look forward to seeing in the future in many different galleries all over the world. In other words I want them to see that I have potential to become anything that I want to be with my art skills. I also want people not just to look at my work and tell me how good it is but also look at my work and tell me how I can improve on my work because everyone has room for improvement no matter how good the work may

    Based on the results, the bunchberry plant, with a scientific name of Cornus canadensis, was most frequently seen in station four, the ecotone, and second most in station five, the forest which is most likely in the lower forest since it has a similar environment to that of station four, and third most in station three, the bog. It was not as frequently seen in areas of higher elevation such as the old field. It should be noted that all three locations were very moist which is expected since they receive water from the marsh. Due to its more frequent presence in moist environments, it is predicted that the bunchberry is more adapted to such locations. It is also predicted that sandy soil supports its growth since it was mostly seen in stations four and five which have sandy soil. Within and on the soil, lots of wood could be seen on the ground from remains of trees that were around the bunchberries which lead to a possibility that as the wood remains are buried in the soil, the bunchberry plant is able to use it to build roots.…

    Many artists enjoy exploring new ideas and concepts and creating them. Most artists think of themselves in one or more of the roles when approaching their art work. First, artists believe they are helping people to see the world in new and innovative ways. Secondly, they believe they are making a visual record of places, people, and events of their time and place (Sayre, 2009). Third, they are making functional objects and buildings more pleasurable and giving them meaning, and finally, artists believe they are giving form to immaterial ideas and things (Sayre, 2009).…

    However, my overall favorite, and in my opinion my most successful work is my spill drawing. Throughout the process of creating my piece, I focused on the realistic properties of my piece as well as the overall effect of the piece as a whole. While drawing, I paid attention to all the details. I kept a picture of a real eye close by, which I referenced multiple times and was therefore able to create a more realistic looking piece. In order to create a realistic looking piece, I had to focus on many different techniques while drawing. By using a picture as a reference, I was able to better recreate the values and details, and therefore creating a realistic drawing. For example, I paid close attention to the value and shading around the eye itself. Along with paying attention to value and details, my technique also significantly impacted how I went about drawing. For me, as well as most artists, the use of blank space is just as important as the penciled in part. For instance, I erased part of the iris of the eye in order to create a reflection, which in turn made it look more realistic. Overall, my spill drawing is my favorite and most successful work that I have created over this past semester. By focusing on value, shading, and precise details I was able to create a realistic drawing that I am proud to call my…

    Throughout the course of my junior year, I have been challenged to be the best artist of my ability. As a graphic designer, I have learned to view things in a different light and learned to express my creativity. Although I am still learning new things everyday about how to become a better artist, I have improved tremendously in every way ranging from the thought process all the way to finalizing each project, and I think that as the days go by I will continue to do well in my high school graphic design career, but in continuing my education in this major and working in a field closely related to it. I have produced at least 5 projects that reflect my passion for graphic design including the New York World’s Fair, currency recreation, and the handmade film poster from the first semester of my junior year and from the second half up until my most recent project, a book jacket, and an organic drink package design.…

    I have been doing art for as long as I can remember. From the time I was in Kindergarden to my senior year in high school I've been doing arts and crafts. I've had art teachers, vacation bible school leaders, and my parents teaching me how to create things my whole life. I usually only recieve art instruction when I sign up for art courses. I've completed all sorts of art projects including paintings, clay, abstract, landscapes and all other types of activities. I had two very good art instructors in high school and they were very critical and rewarding and that probably is why I enjoy art as much as I do. I've had a very broad range of activities from drawing with charcoal and pencils to painting and sculptings. For the most part most of my art activities weren't holiday centered they were more of your own imagination and idea's. All of my art projects were graded on pretty specific grading rubrics. It measured how much you worked on it and made sure that you followed all of the necessary guidelines. I have had a great experience with art in my past and I'm excited to learn more about it. My strengths in art I would say would be that I really enjoy drawing and shading pictures of things and my weakness is that I don't really know that much about the history of art and where it all came from. Art relates to society very much so. Advertising is used everywhere you go and you wouldn't have that without art skills. I am very excited to learn more about the history of art and sharpen up my old art…

    Last year, I had a class where everyone had to write positive things about people on slips of paper that those people would later receive. Most of the slips I was given had words like “artistic” written on them. It’s the one thing people think of when they see me. I’m given art supplies for birthdays and Christmas, I used to be able to fill sketchbooks in just a month, and creating just now seems like something I’m supposed to be alive for, but I didn’t get serious about it until I was in middle school and didn’t want to make a career out of it until I was a freshmen in high school. Unfortunately, I’ve been going to a school that does not offer much or any art classes but on my own, I have been climbing my way to my dreams of becoming an animator, illustrator, or tattoo artist. Going to Perpich will benefit me well in this process and I’ve already taken art classes at the Art Academy, started my own webcomic, experimented with many different mediums, and have read books about improving art styles. The visual arts is essentially my passion and I will do anything to keep it that way.…

    As far as I can remember growing up in Korea, when everyone in kindergarten were told to write down what they want to become in life, I subconsciously wrote down to become an artist. As a little kid, I had no idea in the basic structures of creating “art.” After I told myself that this is what I wanted to be, my curiosity was endless. In this day and age, I was put in after-school academy where it’s traditional in Korea for further education; however, after my commitment to art, I begged my mom to put me into art academy where I got to first explore the world of arts. I trusted my instincts and developed this love for art from scratch by never going back on my…
