Hello!<\/p>\n

Art has always been something that I want to bring into school projects or different aspects of my life. In school, I\u2019ve always wanted to approach class projects in a different way which normally translates to an artistic approach. For instance, we had a very open ended project in an English class in high school where we could interpret readings into anything we wanted to make- most people wrote passages in a journal or painted what they thought the scenes would look like. For my project, I created a shadow box representing themes from the passages we had read.<\/p>\n

Outside of school, I\u2019ve always loved to do creative art projects, but not anything like drawing or painting. In high school, I had a mini cake decorating business where I could create cakes and decorate them in many ways. I then progressed to pumpkin carving where every year I push myself to do something more intricate and complicated. I can now create my own patters or just freehand carvings to make pumpkins of things that I want to make.<\/p>\n

I haven\u2019t had a lot of experience with technology in the sense of coding and designing electronics. The types of experiences that I have had don\u2019t necessarily entail building or designing things, but knowing and learning how it works. When I worked for Disney, my first co-op involved running three different attractions in Tomorrowland, and my second co-op was with Engineering Services in Magic Kingdom. I have learned and played with a lot of technology that is used all over the parks from attractions to shows to parades and more. Being able to see how certain effects happen is something I can draw from and use.<\/p>\n

Other creative arts I enjoy include piano and theater. I have never been in a play or musical, but I am very passionate about the shows and have worked a little backstage. I have seen many plays live and loved all of them! I have been playing the piano since Kindergarten and like to mess around on the piano in my free time.<\/p>\n

As far as creative inspirations, I don\u2019t think there are any specific people that inspire me. My career is focused on working for a themed entertainment industry with the top companies being Disney Parks and Resorts and Universal Studios. The work that they do to bring a story to life so people can experience and live in inspires me. It also works in the opposite ways where I see other inspiration and I imagine where I can involve or include it in an attraction or experience at a theme park.<\/p>\n

As I mentioned before, my goal is to work for Disney or Universal. I have completed two six-month Co-Ops with Disney and this has confirmed the fact that I want to work in this industry. My artistic goals are included in this career goal because I hope to help with the creation of an attraction or, bigger picture, a whole park. I want to assist in having people be blown away at how something happens and leaving the attraction wondering how it happened. I like to work with senses and make people feel something as they experience whatever it is they are experiencing; it\u2019s not just \u2018pretty\u2019 and \u2018cool\u2019.<\/p>\n

My recent creative projects are probably my pumpkins that I carved. I started to just freehand designs and while I know that they aren\u2019t my best work, I am still proud of being able to carve what I want to carve. Next year I hope to take more time to draw out a pattern and create a cool new design. I am excited to see what I can do in the future from school work to professional work and work in my own time.<\/p>\n
