The Art Student University Abstract Experience

Broken Heart – abstract art

Do you think art is important?

Do you think the arts should be an essential part of education?

How do you think studying art is useful for the future?

What should be in an art school application portfolio?

How do you present a portfolio?

What gives you the best chance of being accepted by the art school of your dreams?

I show my art for those who are in the process of creating an art application portfolio for a foundation course, certificate, associate or undergraduate degree and for specific art-related areas, such as Architecture, Fine Art, Graphic Design, Illustration, Interior Design, Animation, Game Design, Film and other creative, visual art-based courses. 

The above painting titled (Broken Heart) is a recent work of my own using the abstract expressionist style that is my own creation called Spontaneous Emotional Ejection.

My own paintings have been regularly reviewed on this site by the general public for some time now and they receive popular ongoing general positive appraisal, and of course negative appraisal too.

A solitary genius, an eccentric being with a soul of a dreamer, a cultural connoisseur, and a visionary for the ages, these are just a few words that have been used to describe my own art.

Art and design portfolios from students who have recently gained acceptance to a range of art schools from around the world helps guide you through the application process when you can find them online that is.

Whether you are at the beginning of your studies or at the very end, you sure have heard countless times so far that studying is the best period of a person’s life.

At the first glance it seems like a cliché, which people always pronounced with a certain dose of sadness.

With all the commitments, strict professors and difficult exams for which one needs to study for months, it does not really seem to be an amusing period of life.

1. The Freedom — you are finally on your own and you can arrange your free time the way you please. This is something every young person dreams of. The students that live outside their hometown or in some other country get to really experience this advantage. You can do or stop doing things you couldn’t even dream of in your parents’ home. A spontaneous party, a cake for lunch or a stroll at 4 am, why not?

2. The Independence — Going away from home can be both stressful and difficult, but there are very few things that will contribute your personal development and self-reliance as much as this experience. At first you might think you won’t be able to survive without your mom’s kitchen. But soon the idea that you can eat anything and anytime becomes more and more tempting. If you have decided to study in a foreign country, then you are facing the real challenge. However, when you get used to it, there are no limits for you anymore. You are going to develop enough creativity and imagination to be able to handle anything.

3. The Friendships — While studying, you are going to meet new people, and often very different from your self — the people of other nationalities, religions, characters and points of view, but also some people of similar interests and with some of them staying friends for life. According to statistics, people create the largest number of lifelong friendships at the university. You have similar troubles, you find yourself in an unknown environment, you have the same temptations, obligations, desires … Also, many people meet their greatest love just while studying.

4. The Knowledge — We assume that you study the things you are interested in. Studying will satisfy all your curiosity in a particular field. There are also numerous associations and extracurricular activities where you can gain some additional skills and meet people who share your passion.

5. Having Fun — You get up early for lectures, you should not be late, your timetable is very busy, you have lots of homework, seminars, projects … Still, you will remember your college days for the best parties you’ve ever been to or perhaps organized yourself. Nightlife and student days have many things in common. Of course, one should have boundaries when it comes to anything in life.

Just a friendly reminder to all students — I know that health concerns aren’t the main focus when you go overseas for higher education, but sometimes unpredictable things can happen. Having a student health insurance will give you greater peace of mind wherever you are. Don’t forget that.

Studying is one of the most turbulent and most intense periods of a person’s life. A whole new horizon opens in front of you, and the lessons that you will learn do not only come from books you read.

The best comes when you successfully overcome all the problems and obstacles, tasks and obligations that the study brings, and you are finally able to say that you are a grown up. You were gradually changing every single day you spent as a student. Do not be surprised if you start your academic education as one person, and finish it as another, usually a better one.

Most ex-students will agree that studying really is the most precious life period, but the problem is that we only become aware of that fact when the student days are behind us.
