I feel that attending BTWHSPVA for high school has aided me in becoming a better artist, and that it has also prepared me for majoring in fine arts. When I recently checked the requirements for obtaining a BA in Fine Arts, I noticed that the four-year structure was similar to that of BTW's. I feel like I will be basically repeating everything that I have done in four years. One thing that will be different is that I have to take art discussion classes.
Over the last four years, I was able to learn the basic principles of Drawing and Design. When I attend USC in the fall, I will be required to take an introductory drawing, design, and sculpture course. (Which is similar to the set up of freshman year.) During my junior year , I will be taking advanced drawing and painting courses (which is similar to AP, but it is college, of course.) I feel that the past four years have given me an inside view of how my undergraduate years of college will be.
Attending BTW has greatly prepared me for college. The school teaches its students that they must be responsible for themselves, and that there is no excuse for having late assignments. I have learned throughout my senior year that there is no real limit to what a person can do for themselves. There are always resources that can assist a person. If you feel that you need help completing a task, you should take the initiative when trying to accomplish that task.
