This symposium was especially helpful to me, as I am in the process of thinking about what I want to do and what colleges I would like to learn more about and eventually apply for. It was interesting to see people’s different experiences in the college art program and their different paths. There were students of illustration, craft, sculpture, architecture, and more. I did not know about the Art Foundation Program and how it is a prerequisite for many art colleges for their art majors. Overall, the students felt that the program was helpful although exhausting, I believe that a foundational program like this would ensure that a student has all of the basic skills in many different art forms. I think it would make me a well-rounded art student if I chose to go to art college. However, I do not think I would go to college for art, rather I would go to a college of architecture. I love crafting art and making statements through artwork, but I am really interested in architecture, in which art is a component. The art students recounting of their curriculum and workload gave me the impression of a lot more freedom, which I definitely look forward to in my future. However, I do not work well without some guidelines and fittingly the architecture student described that architecture was creating a work with guidelines. Architecture is about both the design and about fitting the demands of the consumer, which I respond to well. That is the kind of creating that I am really interested in. I think this symposium helped push me further towards applying to an architecture college and made me excited for the possibility to do a mentorship with an architecture firm next year.
