2010-2025 Form

Departments of education and school districts always have to make decisions about what to include in their curriculum.  There are a lot of life skills that people need that aren't taught in school.  The question is should those skills be taught in schools?I teach high school, so I'll talk about that.  The typical high school curriculum is supposed to give students a broad-based education that prepares them to be citizens in a democracy and to be able to think critically.  For a democracy to work, we need educated, discerning citizens with the ability to make good decisions based on evidence and objective thought.  In theory, people who are well informed about history, culture, science, mathematics, etc., and are capable of critical, unbiased thinking, will have the tools to participate in a democracy and make good decisions for themselves and for society at large.  In addition to that, they should be learning how to be learners, how to do effective, basic research, and collaborate with other people.  If that happens, figuring out how to do procedural tasks in real life should not provide much of a challenge.  We can't possibly teach every necessary life skill people need, but we can help students become better at knowing how to acquire the skills they need.  Should we teach them how to change a tire when they can easily consult a book or search the internet to find step by step instructions for that?  Should we teach them how to balance a check book or teach them how to think mathematically and make sense of problems so that the simple task of balancing a check book (which requires simple arithmetic and the ability to enter numbers and words in columns and rows in obvious ways) is easy for them to figure out.  If we teach them to be good at critical thinking and have some problem solving skills they will be able to apply those overarching skills to all sorts of every day tasks that shouldn't be difficult for someone with decent cognitive ability  to figure out.  It's analogous to asking why a culinary school didn't teach its students the steps and ingredients to a specific recipe.  The school taught them about more general food preparation and food science skills so that they can figure out how to make a lot of specific recipes without much trouble.  They're also able to create their own recipes.So, do we want citizens with very specific skill sets that they need to get through day to day life or do we want citizens with critical thinking, problem solving, and other overarching cognitive skills that will allow them to easily acquire ANY simple, procedural skill they may come to need at any point in their lives?

During my first few years in undergrad, I felt like an average student. Thanks to a class I took my 4th year, my professor made it clear to me that I was. In fact, I felt like I was below average since none of my work had the potential to be in an art portfolio. After taking this class, I spent another year completely shifting my work in a field I was interested in and deal with every day - computers and new technology. Eventually, I was able to create a decent enough body of work to apply for a MFA. Currently, I am a first year graduate student in the Digital+Media department at RISD.To get in to any graduate program, you have to be more than just average. Regardless of what department you're interested in applying to, you will need to show three things:Your interests and how they relate specifically to the program and department.Willingness to learn and enthusiasm in your field of interest.The ability to create graduate level art work in a portfolio.Good luck! College applications are painful, but rewarding.

Why you need a guy?

Heads up to the asker: I was not not an international student when I attended RISD.I was rejected the first time I applied. I was upset because RISD was my "dream school." During my freshman year at another school, I definitely knew I would regret it if I didn't try getting in again. From looking back at my thought process and how I tackled my application materials, I did a few things differently that may have helped RISD be confident enough to accept me this time around:I dedicated more time with the concept rather than technical accuracy of the famous (or infamous) bike drawing prompt. I can't tell you for sure, but I think they want to see more of your perspective and story about the bike in the drawing, rather than being able to photorealistically render it. Of course it's safest in my opinion to nail both technicality and concept.I gave little to no thought when I wrote the required essay prompts. I just wrote exactly what was on my mind and never really showed it to anyone because I wanted RISD to evaluate just my abilities in writing. I think they want to see how you think and express your ideas in the context of it being submitted as an essay, even if it's not formally written. I would encourage you to write about something that even you would enjoy reading about and make it an honest piece of writing about yourself. Being honest will seriously get you so far in life, even past college. What helped me start writing was thinking about how I would be able to let the reader have a fun time learning about me, rather than trying to seem like I'm just another student trying to seem unique and impressive when I'm not. It's the RISD hiring team's first impression of you. Just to give you an idea of what I wrote about for when they had an option of writing about a passion that is not art or design, I just wrote about my love for Popeyes and fried chicken.Most important thing I did (I think) was totally revamping what I put into my portfolio. I don't have links of my before and after portfolios, but the second time around I remember submitting more figure and gestural drawings from direct observation. I included work that I just had a lot of fun making and were technically well drawn and painted. Variety seriously will help you out so try to have a mix of drawings and paintings! I'm not too sure about what needs to be in the portfolios nowadays, but quality over quantity is another metric I would keep in mind!RISD seems to be highly selective when they process applications and various factors seem to exist, beyond just the application materials that impact the decisions. I met peers who got accepted because they had connections affiliated with RISD. Others, even with what I'd call a "sloppy" portfolio, got accepted and they even question how they got in. Few I knew got in because of their parents' generous donations to the school.I learned over time that in the real world, connections, luck, and money will give you an advantage over someone else who may lack those things. It can make the journey a bit easier for you to get in. For me, I didn't have any connections or money, but still got accepted. It's possible I got lucky too, but I like to believe that my hard work and perseverance paid off. If you apply and get rejected the first time, if you really want to go to RISD, I'd highly encourage you to try again! If you don't fail, you won't learn. And knowing how to learn is the most valuable skill you will get in life and especially at RISD!I hope this helped you out in some way! Best of luck to all your future endeavors :)

I took 3 summer classes at URI, I definitely liked it. The classes are higher paced, so you spend more time each week in the classroom, but they are VERY short, so they do require more time.But as I was only taking one class per session, I had plenty of time -even while I had 2 jobs at the time- to work on my school work and get good grades.Bonus: there’s always parking in the summer sessions, it doesn’t take 15 minutes to walk to class once you’re on campus, because you can park virtually anywhere.
