Choosing a Career in Art
Throughout my life I have had a deep interest in seeing as many places around the world as I possibly could. I always felt fascinated by the unknown. My family always encouraged me to follow my passion for exploration and to use every opportunity to understand more about the things that I want to accomplish in life.
Fortunately I was given the opportunity to study abroad where I learned about tools to express the things that had piled up in my mind. Weather it was storyboarding, animating and seeing how my drawings come to life, or creating characters and environments, art became the medium I chose to follow my greatest passion, the possibility to explore. I have discovered that all the places I have seen so far and the experiences that I have been through influence a process of transforming ideas from imagination into reality. This also includes, that I do realize that a career as an artist for the entertainment industry will be hard and demanding and does not only consist of creative expression - and that I am ready to rise to this challenge.

Due to my past experiences, I am convinced that further education in art will help me to grow into a creative just as responsible and hard-working individual. Although I am happy about what I have accomplished up to now, I yet have to challenge myself in order to exceed the quality of my previous work. I love creating and designing, permanently seeking to learn more. I am eager to work in an environment that encourages artistic and personal growth and teamwork with other passionate, hard-working and creative individuals as I did in the past. This proved to be inspiring, motivating and promoting at the same time. Over the last few years I was fortunate to be in such a place and to have a family that supports me following my dreams.

    Mike Rayhawk was a computer programmer studying mathematics and software engineering in his early college days at Cornell University, New York for two years. He was interested in art a little, so he did some research. He got interested in the fact that artists make really good money if they had a long term strategy for handling their career correctly. Due to his unnatural talent in art, he didn’t get into the art school, Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. So he had to continue being a computer programmer. He didn’t give up there, he took night classes for a year just to get into art school. Mike wasn’t the best artist in the school, so he worked twice as hard just to keep up. He picked up a few tricks to art and graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree of Fine Arts in Illustration, with Honors. He’s impressed many people that when a LEGO manager come to his school to hire product designers, they tricked him to pass over the product design department and go over to his exhibition instead.

    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…

    Throughout my life I have pushed myself to try new things. Whether it be participating in different sports, partaking in a variety of school courses, or coming up with any sort of new activity just to keep me busy, I found myself to have created a cast, or a mold of the type of person I am and the type of things that I can always fall back on for enjoyment. My desires for experimentation may bring me temporary joys yet I always find myself stuck to a few core activities which revolve around my passion for the arts. I am able to combine this love and experiment with styles and mediums of art and while sometimes the end product belongs in the landfill, other times I may stumble upon something truly beautiful that will further my abilities to branch out and try new things.…

The desire to create has grown exponentially with time, and so I attended the University of Iowa to expand my creative capabilities and learn from the work of experienced faculty and other students. Through my studies, I quickly learned a traditional fine arts education focused on technique. However, I learned the strength of my art resided in the conceptualization of my own story and emotions…
