I admire people that strive for their goals. I'm a bluntly realistic thinker so even though this would be my dream university, I don't think I'm fit for it. Coming from Louisiana and all, the tuition fee is expensive and I'm not a genius. 😅 But they keep emailing me and it's quite exciting.

I am an art student and i may have a chance to study abroad im intrested in classic art and i want to learn a good drughtsmenship in painting and drawing, in these schools they do not focus on skill they just focuse on what comes out of the artist just the creativity . I think that its necesary to have a good draughtsmenship because you can express yourself better and skillfuly because art is not just crazy installations and stuff its more than that people are taking art wrong nowdays and some people may say that painting realisticly its not creative or just copying nature in fact you can express yourself better in realism style of painting and not sticking a banana with ducktape on the wall .😊
