The Calling and the Dream
When not a soul could be found for me to speak with, when I found no way to express all the pent up feelings I held deep inside myself, art held his hand out to me. Art has been a huge part of who I am as a person for as long as I’ve been able to hold a pencil. I’ve been drawing for most of my life, just copying what I saw originally, gradually forming my own style and my own ideas to put forth to the canvas or paper. Art, in all its glorious forms, has always been my escape from my reality. When I am creating something virgin and completely unique to me, it’s simply freeing. To let go of everything, if only for a moment, and completely immerse myself in my art is such a wonderful and indescribable feeling.
A major factor pushing me towards a degree in the Visual Arts is the way that art can enthrall a person. When I look at art, I fancy to enter the world the artist constructs. It’s alluring to think that you attain a glimpse into the mind of the one who created the piece, and for a moment there’s a connection and something is understood. Each person understands something different and feels something different when they look upon the piece. I want to produce art that causes people to feel something, anything. I want people to look at a poster or a drawing I’ve created and be able to feel something within themselves that they otherwise wouldn’t of felt. I love the psychology of art. You can see a poster on the wall, and if it’s an intriguing image you will inquire upon it’s content. If the poster is not intriguing you pass it by without another thought. I want to make the art that pulls people in.
Another factor pushing me towards a degree in the Visual Arts is that I want to leave my mark on this world, leave something that will always be there even after I am long dead and gone. Art has its way of leaving a lasting impression on people, even if they are unaware of it. Just like someone can remember the lyrics to a song they haven’t heard in years, an image that they connect with will always remain in the back of their minds, lying dormant until something digs it back up. I want to create such works that people will gaze upon them and always remember them.
Through all the careers I have gone through in my head, marine biologist, geologist, figure skater, an artist has always been the most appealing to me. For the better part of my teenage years, I have known that I wanted to create art for the remainder of my life. Art is the only thing that has ever made sense to me, and made absolutely no sense at the same time. Visual art pushes me to better myself, always finding ways to be different and creative in life and through my drawings. I feel in my heart and soul that I am truly meant for this, meant to create. When I’m drawing or designing, everything makes sense in the world, everything is beautiful in one-way or another. Art is my passion, and if I can take that passion and make a life long career out of it, then I can live a happy life.
I have several reasons for wanting to peruse a degree in Visual Arts. All of them are for me, and no one else, which is how I know that it is the right path for me.
