(I found more that I wanted to say here that I talked about during my POL)
Pol preparation questions. (Even though I already did my POL)
Part 1:
1.) How was your work as an intern meaningful to your education?
- I got the opportunity to interview a few artists during internship so I got to work on my social skills a lot. I had to figure out how to keep a conversation with someone I didn't know moving along even when I ran out of things to say. For me, this was very difficult because i'm not a social person, and I don't willingly talk to people i'm not familiar with very often so I don't have a lot of practice.
- During the first week I got to practice basic drawing elements, such as how to draw the figure correctly and proportionately, how to draw and shade 3D shapes, etc... This was great because I never take the time to do this, so my figure drawings need a lot of work.
- I got to learn about the real world aspects of art. As in the business part of it. This was wonderful to learn because going into internship, it's what I had hoped to learn the most about. I understand what I need to do to sell or license my art in the future, so now I have a more clearer direction in life after/during college and also my last year of high school.
2.) How was your work significant or meaningful to the world beyond school and your specific internship site?
- Like I said, I have a better understanding of the business aspect of art and I plan to use that as soon as possible. During Internship I have started to develop a character i've been drawing all year and I plan to continue working on this character until i'm 18. Once I'm 18, if i've done enough with my work I plan to go to a licensing convention in Las Vegas to try to sell my work.
- I now have a clearer career plan, as well as career choice. Before going into internship I wanted to do animation but after a few interviews and a lot of character design work, I've decided instead I want to go into character design. I still plan to make animations on my own on the side, and most likely they will be for and about my characters, but it won't may not be the main focus of my work.
3.) What did you learn about your own work from your internship project?
- I learned how to better turn an idea into something real. For the longest time I would make random characters and ideas and right now they are stored away in old sketchbooks and they will most likely never be looked at again. During internship I took a character i've started drawing this year and developed him a lot more then I ever have with anything else. We made business cards, a story for my character, finalized artwork, and i'm going to continue to make more stuff over the next few years. I plan to work on doing this with other things I create so I have less "dead end" artwork.
- I also improved my figure drawing and my communication skills.

Part 2:
1.) How did your view of live beyond high school change or develop during your time as an intern?
Before internship I had only planned for college and after that everything was super uncertain and blurry. Now I have a more clear plan of what I hope to be working on and where I want to be in life. In other words, I no longer plan to live in a very colorful cardboard box on the streets somewhere until someone wants to buy my art.
2.) What new questions has your internship inspired you to ask about our world? What has it made you wonder about? What are you moved to go out and do or learn about on your own time?
- My question: How will changes in society during the time i'm in college change how I pursue my career? The world is constantly changing, for example, in 20 years many new jobs will be jobs that don't exist right now. And at the same time, many jobs we have now wont exist in the future. I wonder how this will change and effect my career choice.
- I wonder what art i'll be doing by the time I graduate. As an artist and as a person, me as well as every other artist is always changing. As I change the art i create will change. For a while for example, I created a lot of animal art for the most part, and now I create hybrid animals and landscapes. I can't wait to find out what i'll be doing say 10 years from now.
- I want to learn more about the licensing convention in Las Vegas. I already know that I can't go unless i'm 18 or older, but that's ok because it gives me 2 years to work on my characters and stories so that when i'm 18, I can try to sell my work. I need to do more research still on the more specific things I need to do before I go to the convention.
