Here’s my (accepted) csssa app for 2015! I applied for printmaking, and I haven’t seen a lot of applications online that aren’t animation, so here’s one.

works A, C, then B. 

my explanation for work A was:

Young girls are influenced with stereotypical beliefs that maliciously shape how they conduct their lives. Society’s crippling standards of beauty are slowly but forcefully piercing into vulnerable minds like shards of glass.

Pre-CSSSA Visual Arts Challenge Prompt #4 - What’s your favorite animal? (Quick sketch of two friends.)

Precsssa challenge 6/22 Besides my desk I think the space between my bed and my closet is pretty interesting, since it’s where I keep a lot of theater memorabilia, gifts, my swords and loot from the office of a teacher of mine’s. Examples of what you could find here include flower crowns, masks, wigs, origami boxes shaped like candy, wooden swords, fencing foils, a violin bow, and if we include the first cabinet, art supplies and old sketchbooks.

Accepted CSSSA Application 2015–Visual Arts I thought it’d be cool to have these together in a set, since CSSSA is just around the corner and I’ve received requests in the past to make a full post. I learned about CSSSA in late January, began the app, and then got sick for three-ish weeks, completely stopping my working abilities until 3 days before the deadline! It’s not my greatest work, but I’m proud of all of it. Asssignment A- ballpoint pen on found paper. Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria. This piece conveys the growing issue of antibiotic resistance in common bacterial infections. My favorite part is the composition’s parallel structure. My least favorite part is the lackluster, not-as-dramatic-as-I’d-like lighting. 2 days. Assignment B- acrylic on canvas board. Study! Fox. This was the last piece I made for the app. I’m a fox that has big issues devoting myself to academics and my art, and I’m upset with my lack of ability to focus on either one, lol. My favorite part is the background, and my least favorite part is the flatness of the middle/foreground due to the overexposed lighting. 2 days. Assignment C- watercolor. Tanuki Raiding a Tokyo Bar. I chose this piece from a mock-concentration I made in AP this year to showcase my technical skill in watercolor as well as illustrative story telling. My favorite part is the lighting composition. My least favorite part is the disjointedness of the various objects due to my tight method of watercoloring. 3 days.

Hey guys! Some of you may know that the Tony Awards were this past Sunday, but what you may not know is that Michael Fields, the CSSSA director, was nominated for an award! Michael was nominated for the Excellence in Theatre Education Award! The video above was aired during the Tony awards to celebrate the nominees, and features two CSSSA alumni mentioning Michael’s name! 

Let’s give a big CONGRATS to Michael!

my CSSSA (a summer art program) application pieces - I’m going for visual arts and hopefully end up in painting! :)

first piece represents a social issue, and while I didn’t work as long on it as the others, I think the message is still important

second piece is something that kind of summarizes or represents me, so of course I went for a painting study feat music

third is just to show off technical skill so I drew paul mccartney what else is new

I doubt anyone will really see this but I’m just very glad to be done with this oh boy ok thanks for your time

My (accepted) CSSSA 2015 Visual Arts app.

I’m a little embarrassed when comparing it to other Visual apps I’ve seen because they display some incredible drawing skills. I think I need to beef up before the summer lol 

Assignment A was a demonstration of the interconnectedness of humans an animals by giving an animal human clothing. It was done with watercolor.

B was my self portrait, featuring a sculpture inspired by ruby-throated hummingbird feathers. It was the converse of assignment A, demonstrating the interconnectedness of animals and myself by putting myself in animal “clothing.” It was done with laser-cut MDF and iridescent acrylics

C is my technical skill piece, so it sorta speaks for itself lmao. Uergh there’s a lot of things I would want to change but it did the trick lol! It was done with charcoal 

#such creative sculpture! #application #studentart #precsssa
