So February is fast approaching. I know, I know. You're thinking, "No it's not! It's still five months away!" But for us
pre-art program people, it's fast approaching! It is now time to apply myself so that Myself might apply for Photography. This is NOT an easy major to get into and one can only apply twice in one's time attending this University. I believe they let about 20 people in a year, but am not entirely sure on that number. All I know is that it's a very SMALL amount. Your chances of getting rejected are greater than being embraced in the Artists' Circle of... Art. It now becomes understandable that I am starting to stress a little, especially as I really should have been working on it over the summer instead of just sitting on my buttocks doing practically nothing all day/traveling back and forth from Santa
Horhe.
Here's the thing. I was talking to a Sister in my ward who was recently accepted into the program but rejected their offer in favor of a different program that is, apparently, about as hard to get into. However, she did give me some advice for my application (here's to hoping she actually remembers to show me a copy of the squiggle paper).
Apparently it is a good thing to look like a well-rounded artist so, when it comes to one's slides, one should put in other mediums other than Photography. I'm finding this to be somewhat of a challenge. I haven't drawn much of anything since my Sr. Year of high school. This was a good few years ago, and the last thing I drew is pictured
here (see also my
reference photo for comparative reasons). So, here's the deal. I'm looking for ideas on things to draw etc. I am also
contemplating doing a painting, but I'm really unsure about this. Suggestions and honest
criticism/encouragement at this point (and for the next five months or until I get in) will be greatly appreciated!
Behold, the Muse
