For more than 2 months I worked on my application for UCSB's Masters in Fine Arts program. And for more than 10 years I have been making art and teaching. I had reference letters from 2 local principals, a PhD graduate, and a founder of a non-profit. I created a vast 20 piece portfolio of my art and gave every possible bit of effort to write my two entrance essays... Only to find out after waiting for 3 months that I got "denied". What fools they are?! They are missing out on such a creative and motivated force, they don't even know! They told me later their reasoning was because my art is "too eclectic in style and medium". I know I dabble in a lot of mediums and styles (woodburning, drawing, painting, photography, jewelry, poetry, and more...) but that is how my creativity flows! They recommended I focus on one practice for a year and reapply but I don't know if I want to do that. That feels limiting. Maybe this is a sign I should go to another school? No matter what, I will not give up on my dreams! Michael Jordan was denied from playing on his high school basketball team and became the greatest to ever play the game so I know this won't stop me. I guess this specific plan wasn't in the cards for me. But don't worry, I hustle hard and believe in myself so this will only stoke my fire.
