I hope everyone’s having a lovely Tuesday 🙂
A few months ago, I applied to two programs of CSSSA (California State Summer School of the Arts).
I applied for Creative Writing as my first choice, but also applied for Visual Arts just in case.
A few weeks ago I got my acceptance packet back!! To both programs!! I was and still am extremely excited and have high hopes for the writing program. Hopefully, over four weeks of intensive writing training, I will become a much better writer.
I decided to post my application pieces for the Visual Art program.
The prompts this year were:
- Choose any issue that interests you (something personal, political or social). Use whatever materials, techniques and processes work best to express your views on the chosen issue. Provide an explanation of the work on a separate sheet of paper.
In this assignment we are looking for your ability to communicate a personal view on a particular issue through a work of art.
- Create an original art piece that reflects who you are. Use appropriate materials and techniques to interpret your idea.
In this assignment, we will look at how you creatively interpret the problem, and how you make artistic choices.
Choose a piece of your artwork that you feel best demonstrates your technical skill and understanding of your favorite medium.
- In this assignment, we want to see that you have developed the skills needed to succeed in this advanced program.
I know I’m gonna meet some hella sick people at camp, excited for that!!!
