AS A MULTIDISCIPLINARY ARTIST WITH EXPERIENCE IN PAINTING, DRAWING, AND CERAMICS, I HOPE TO EXPAND MY CREATIVITY AS I PURSUE AN ADVERTISING DEGREE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS URBANA-CHAMPAIGN. IN THE SUMMER OF 2021, I PARTICIPATED IN A FIGURE DRAWING INTENSIVE COURSE AT THE SCHOOL OF THE ART INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO, EXPLORING MEDIUMS SUCH AS CHARCOAL, WATERCOLOR, COLORED PENCIL, AND CONTE CRAYON. THROUGHOUT MY SENIOR YEAR AP ART COURSE, I FOCUSED ON MASTERING OIL PAINT. NOW, MY GOAL IS TO EXPOSE MYSELF TO A WIDE VARIETY OF MEDIUMS THAT I CAN APPLY TO MY FUTURE IN ADVERTISING, MARKETING, AND DESIGN.
