Professional development in the arts Certificate Rational (exerpt), Elizabeth Frone, 2016
As an artist I find the greatest inspiration in the arts, whether it be visual, musical, or theatrical. One of the things that I enjoy the most about being in advanced drawing classes in school is being surrounded by so much other talent. Just by being around so many other great artists and seeing the different works of art that are produced by other people my age inspires me to continue to work hard on my own art, and produce my own work that will inspire others as well.
Throughout my years at highschool I have worked hard in all my classes to hone my skills, and have earned enough credits in the arts that I will receive a Professional Development in the Arts certificate when I graduate in the summer. On the road to working on being eligible to receive this certificate I have seized opportunities like entering contests that challenged me to think in new ways so that I could create works of art that would hopefully be chosen to win. One such contest happened last year and required me to design and create a poster for the school’s production of the play "The Spitfire Grill". I worked hard on designing a poster that integrated new techniques and challenging angles that I had little experience with in order to challenge myself as an artist, but I also kept in mind the client and what they would want. In the end I created a piece of art that I am still proud of today, and it was also chosen to be the face of the tickets for the play.
I also worked very hard in my multimedia class and ended up being the top performer in my entire grade and was awarded an Academic Award for Multimedia. These artistic accomplishments have influenced my personal and intellectual development not only as an artist but also as a student who strives to achieve top academic performance in all of my classes. Hard working and creative skills that I’ve learned from applying myself in art translate well in helping me succeed in all my other academic courses as well.
