Best of luck!

An art school will want to know about you — your influences, motivations, projects, style, — and to be original that can’t be just like anyone else’s essay. It has to be YOU.

First, this is an Art School, and while they’re most assuredly looking for intelligent students that can write and express themselves, they want to see that you are passionate about your field of study.

So, my advice to you would be to follow the standard essay format, make sure you illustrate to them how much you want to go to their school, what your plans are for your field of study and how much love you have for what it is you’re trying to study.

Make sure you use spell check too. Not to be mean, but it’s ‘consider’ not ‘concider’. They will definitely look at things like that.

Most importantly, make sure you’re not going to Art School because you thinks its an easy way out, or because people looked at the doodles you did in your notebook and told you that you’re a great artist.

Art School is where you’re going to truly find out what it is your made out of, what slant and voice your artwork will take, and more importantly the type of artist and person you plan on being for the rest of your life.
