美国艺术专业留学个人陈述范文

pursued

an

academic

rather

than

creative

path

in

school,

I

have

always

been

fascinated

by

the

patterns

that

occur

in

art,

architecture

and

the

natural

world,

and

drawing

and

painting

have

heightened

my

appreciation

of

them.

Creating

art,

whether

it

is

realistic

or

abstract,

has

helped

me

to

see

the

world

more

clearly.

　　In

October

2007

I

began

studying

Classics

and

Modern

Languages

at

Oxford

University,

but

I

had

to

leave

in

my

first

term

as

the

problems

my

dyspraxia

caused

me

were

more

severe

than

anticipated

and

I

struggled

to

cope

with

day-to-day

living

and

developed

mental

health

problems.

Studying

this

course

would

give

me

an

opportunity

to

get

back

into

Higher

Education

and

to

learn

more

about

something

which

has

always

interested

me.

　　Although

I

have

no

formal

qualifications

in

art,

I

have

kept

up

my

passion

for

it

outside

the

curriculum.

My

favourite

material

to

work

with

is

charcoal,

as

I

find

it

helps

me

to

portray

texture

better

than

any

other

material,

although

I

also

enjoy

working

with

paints,

pencil,

collage

and

I

have

recently

begun

to

develop

an

interest

in

tapestry

and

relish

the

opportunity

to

explore

new

media

which

this

course

would

offer

me.

I

have

recently

been

doing

a

life-drawing

project

on

wood,

which

stems

from

my

interest

in

the

forms

and

textures

in

nature.

I

have

also

been

inspired

by

the

art

I

have

seen

as

part

of

my

study

of

other

subjects.

On

a

school

trip

to

Spain,

I

visited

various

museums

and

was

particularly

moved

by

Picasso's

Guernica

at

the

Reina

Sofia

Museum

and

I

was

fascinated

by

Hieronymus

Bosch's

Garden

of

Earthly

delights

which

I

saw

at

the

Prado.

At

the

Prado,

I

was

also

privileged

to

see

some

of

the

works

of

El

Greco,

which

I

found

deeply

moving.

As

a

practising

Christian,

the

art

of

the

spiritual

matters

particularly

to

me,

and

I

want

to

learn

more

about

both

Christian

art

and

the

iconography

and

architecture

of

other

major

world

religions.

Another

thing

which

left

a

deep

impression

upon

me

when

I

visited

Spain

was

the

Moorish

architecture

I

saw

in

Toledo.

I

am

also

interested

in

the

psychology

behind

art

and

how

people

are

empowered

by

artistic

self-expression.

For

this

reason,

I

am

a

supporter

of

the

work

of

The

Autism

Acceptance

Project,

an

organisation

which

showcases

the

artwork

of

autistic

adults.

　　In

my

spare

time,

I

have

undertaken

a

variety

of

voluntary

work.

I

helped

with

my

school's

Youth

SVP

scheme,

which

organised

clubs

to

help

local

primary

school

with

reading.

I

also

was

a

Youth

Leader

at

Edmund

Rice

Camp,

a

week-long

summer

play

scheme

for

children

aged

between

seven

and

eleven.

This

year,

I

have

worked

at

The

Croft

Nursery

School

in

Newcastle-under-Lyme

with

children

aged

three

to

four.

I

have

enjoyed

this

immensely

and

feel

it

has

improved

my

ability

to

collaborate

with

others.

Alongside

this,

my

love

of

the

countryside

has

led

me

to

complete

the

Duke

of

Edinburgh's

award

（bronze）

and

have

participated

in

Student

Cross,

a

125-mile

hike

from

Oxford

to

Walsingham.

　　Learning

about

other

cultures,

both

those

of

the

past

and

of

the

present,

is

also

a

hobby

of

mine.

For

this

reason

I

have

always

been

engrossed

by

the

study

of

languages

and

I

am

currently

learning

ancient

Greek.

I

also

enjoy

reading

a

variety

of

literature

and

creative

writing

（both

fiction

and

non-fiction）

and

have

had

several

current

events

articles

published

online.

My

curiosity

about

language,

literature

and

culture

sets

my

enthusiasm

for

art

in

a

broader

context

and

is

a

source

of

inspiration.
