Tips to remember...
Talked to Cathie today for a bit (head of the Art Dept). Things I should remember from that conversation:
1.) No matter what level of work the rest of my senior class is at, if they are lower, don't lower *my* level of work to "match" theirs. Keep getting better and doing the best that *I* can.
2.) Trying to get into grad school with a BA as opposed to a BFA is apparently a challenge. Not impossible, but a challenge. So far, my GPA, my writing abilities, and how I would present myself in an interview is most likely up to a grad school standard. Also, the fact that I'm of a more mature age than some is also in my favor, as it will look like I actually know that this is what I want to do, and will work at it. That leaves the "problem" being my portfolio. I need to start making art quite a bit right now, and KEEP making art. Make it *good*. Make it up to the standards of someone that went to art school for their undergrad.
Speaking of portfolios and artwork, here's some stuff that I did this semester! Most of it for Drawing II, but some I did on my own.
If you click on any of these pieces, it'll take you to a bigger version. They're fairly large in person, so a bunch of detail gets lost, even in the large versions, and some of the color isn't quite true, though I've done my best to fix it.
