Personal Statement:
|
|
Pablo Picasso said; “Painting is just another way of keeping a
diary”. This quote has inspired me to work for what I want in life due to the
fact that the quote is basically telling people to express how they feel,
their thoughts and express it out loud. This is how I feel I could be if I
was to achieve my goals. My aspiration is to be a graphic designer in the
future. I have found that it will be difficult to accomplish my ambition but
I am still enthusiastic that with hard work and dedication, I will be able to
stride into my chosen career if I work for it.
I find delight in undertaking
art as a form of voicing my state of mind in a creative way. I believe I have
the accurate skills and the correct frame of mind to be able to achieve high
in the career I am aiming for. I know that throughout the duration of my life
there will be more to do than just painting pictures all day. There will be
essays to write, research to do and all whist building my portfolio up into
something that will help show my skills off to the world of business.
From the year 2001 I have been devoted to working hard to collect as
many achievements as possible to help better me for myself and my future.
These consist of; Sure Start Logo Competition (2001) Young Leader Award
(2009), Playing For Success (2010), Junior Achievement Award (2010), Peer
Mentor Attendance Certificate (2011), Peer Mentoring Award (2012), Work
Experience Attendance Certificate (2013) & also UCB Mentoring Project
(2012-13). From all these occasions I have gained many expertise. For
example; I am responsible, very well organised, I have good time management
skills, abilities in the 3D & Textiles areas of art, I have a good
computer background, I am good working on paper and I plan before doing
things so there is not many occasions where it goes wrong. For example;
getting to know the design cycle again well enough before I start a new
project so I know the root I will take to get to my outcome correctly.
I have used these skills in many types of jobs and voluntary work
since 2009. These were the following; being a volunteer at Barnsley Riding
for Disabled Association, being a newspaper distributor for the Barnsley
Independent, my year 10 work experience as a shop assistant at B.Mills &
Co. in Wombwell and finally, working as a peer mentor at both Barnsley
Academy & also at the Barnsley Summer Challenge scheme run by the YMCA
members.
The artist which have inspired me are; Bob Ross, Picasso, Van Gogh,
O’Keeffe, Warhol, Matisse & Rennie Mackintosh. All for many reasons,
firstly they may all be passed but still famous and recognised, secondly they
all have their own techniques and methods to do art but they are all at the
same level in my eyes, and finally they have all undertaken different
obstacles in their own lives but overcome them and carried on. This is very
inspirational to me as an artist.
I have visited many places in my 18 years of living but none of them
can compare to when I visited Cairo & Luxor in Egypt. The Pyramids, The
Sphinx and also the museum I went to with my family was amazing. All of these
combined factors have made me keen to try and use the Egyptian theme as often
as I could.
My artistic ambitions are to become either a graphic designer or a
cake decorator. No matter which one I finally choose, my main aspiration will
remain the same; to have people buy my work. To have this come to pass, will
be more of an achievement than anything I could imagine in the world of work.
To have people come to me and ask me to create either something special for
the wedding, birthday, special occasions etc. or either someone asking me to
use my skills to create something that will be seen by many people would make
all my hard work worthwhile.
