My passion is art.
I have always been surrounded by people who partake in the joy of creating art, and they have spoken highly of the joy it brings them as well as others. My uncle was an artist, my mother always had his paintings hung up around the house as well as his photography. My father also has been drawing and sketching since he was young, and he wanted to pass down the joy he received from creating. I was never limited in how I could create, from banging on pots and pans and scribbling on paper to playing in the school band and learning new techniques in art electives. My mother has often placed things in front of me and asked me to draw them, noting my improvements and saving the artwork. Attending Parsons Summer Intensive Studies will help me grow and mature while being able to bring joy into my life with art.
"Nadia has shown a great deal of interest in the arts. She has a substantial number of drawings that she has done on her own. Though Nadia has interest in the arts, she lacks technical skills. I believe that Parsons Summer Intensive Studies will propel her forward in this regard. It will also allow her to make more of an informed decision when it is time to apply for colleges in the fall."
This school year has been by far the most challenging. With AP tests and the normal allotment of high school drama, it's been hard to keep my grades and my spirits up, but I did it! My American Studies teacher taught me that "Nothing worth doing is easy," and my chemistry teacher taught me that "Words have meaning". I've explored abstract concepts like beauty, dignity, and time. Looking back, I couldn't be happier with my growth and the shedding of my former self.
Looking forward, I couldn't be more excited to spend my summer at Parsons and be immersed in the 'art world.' Learning new techniques and having a class that solely revolves around something I'm passionate about -- I'm exhilarated just thinking about it! There aren't words to explain how grateful I am to those who have helped me along the way and have supported me on my journey!
