O. Art is, at its most basic form, expression. Its the portrayal of an artist’s inner creativity displayed on an outer “surface”(canvas, paper, dance floor, clothes), whether it be from what they see, hear, experience, or just what generally appeals to them.

1. I don’t have a favorite art form, but I do love theater. The presentation of a story through a character or characters can engage almost all the senses, and the fact that each show is different based on the audience’s mood adds to the excitement. Adding music, dance, and song can also deepen the experience.

2. My favorite historical period is the 1920’s, mostly because is was a time when “fun” took precedence. It produced some of the greatest literature (by Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Langston Hughes), and the slang, dance, music, and fashion were also revolutionary.

3. My academic strength lies in the social sciences (sociology, philosophy, economics). I’m able to breakdown and understand the material and ideas presented easily when it concerns those subjects. My non-academic strength is my willingness to try new things.

4. I do feel comfortable with new technologies. Its become easier to understand their functions, therefore using them has also become easier.

5. I would give myself a 8/10 for my writing skills. I don’t write everyday, and I feel that if I did I would be way more confident in what I write.
