Mission West Personal Statement

389 Words2 Pages

Like most young children, I enjoyed coloring and watercolor splatters, but unlike most of those children my love for art pursued beyond my elementary school years. Middle school was fine, but limited. Shawnee Mission West’s art program was an oasis to my little, freshman self. When I entered high school the much more advanced art program opened my world and offered growth. I submitted a portfolio to prove my abilities and skip Introduction to Art which made it possible to further myself. I have taken at least one art class a semester for each year I have been at West, and now I am I have down two years of Independent Art Studies in drawing and painting. It has been due to this hard work, persistence, and love for art that I have advanced and improved so greatly since I began focusing art. I would love to have a Senior Show so that I, and the people in my life, may be able to see how I have developed. My work impresses most of my family, but I feel most supported by my mother. She’s always encouraged me to pursue my dreams, whatever they may be, and every time I show her a new painting or a piece of jewelry, I can tell by her expression alone she is proud of me. She wants me to have a Senior Show almost as much, maybe even more, than I do. And I would hope I could display all the progress I have made and all the …show more content…

These multiple art classes have given me ample opportunity to advance my artwork. “Best of West” is a prestigious title to hold but one I think I have owned up to. I don’t think I’m the best artist at West, because we are blessed with many great artists here, but I do think I am one of the better ones. I have strived to accomplish more and better myself. I believe my work also speaks for itself and it is here for you to

    Tamra Gould is a senior at Edmond North High School who has shown exceptional talent in photography and exceptional character in her reaction to society’s expectations. While Gould has always expressed an interest in photography, it was not until a photo of hers received first place at a UCO competition that she truly began to recognize her talent.

  • Hidden Intellectualism By Gerald Graff

    The Art in Education In first grade we had to draw a picture of what we would be doing 20 years from then. We had to draw what job we would have, what our hair would look like, what we would be wearing, and I chose to draw a picture of me drawing a picture. As a first grader I knew that my future would mirror what I was doing in that exact moment; I would still have curly hair, and I would still be an artist. Loudly proclaiming that I was going to be an artist when I grew up was ok in elementary school, but at the end of middle school it was often challenged with “but what are you really going to be?”

    I have lived in Mason County, West Virginia for 20 years and had not noticed how much art there is within the county. First, I thought art had to be a painting or a sculpture, until I took an Art Class at MOVC with Mr. Jan Haddox. Mr. Haddox said on the first day “Art is what you like, it can be creative or unique, and does have to just be a painting or a sculpture.” This is what opened my eyes to the art in Mason County.

    The movie falls short of capturing the genuine essence of the real-world creative realm by misrepresenting various aspects of art education. It inaccurately sexualizes nudity, fails to portray the passion and dedication of art professors, exaggerates art school stereotypes, simplifies the challenges of art education, and wrongly asserts that pursuing a career as an artist is impossible. In reality, the art world celebrates the beauty and significance of nudity as a powerful artistic tool for creative expression, while art professors are known for their enthusiasm, creativity, and genuine appreciation for their students ' growth. Art schools are diverse and inclusive environments, attracting individuals of various backgrounds and interests who work hard to excel in their craft. Furthermore, with dedication and the right skills, pursuing a career as an artist is entirely possible, as the art world offers numerous opportunities for success.

    Where did I Volunteer? Originally I wanted to join an organization for my volunteer experience (similar to how I had done in the past) but after contacting organizations myself, it seemed too difficult just to choose a time and date for when I volunteered. Instead of an organization I choose to do my volunteer work and spend my time around my own neighbourhood, at Mackenzie Park. What did I do: For my volunteer experience I choose to go inside Mackenzie forest and pick up any type of litter that I could see, this included dog poop, litter, bottles, cigarette and apparently pregnancy testes?
