Why Interested?
I choose to apply to svu because it is a school I have been highly interested in since I was in high school. I am really impressed with there student work and it is in the city I have always been interested in living in eventually. I think it will help me grow further as a artist and improve my work visually and conceptually.
Why here instead of elsewhere?
I choose svu because it is one of the top two places recommended to live in the us to promote yourself as a artist and a photographer. I have always want to live in that city and I am highly impressed with their faculty and student work when compared to other schools.
What makes it unique?
Its being in a big city gives more opportunities and unique experiences and also it being a strictly art school I think helps its students become more successful.
Professor: Charles Traul (the chair of photography)
I choose Charles because he is the head of the mfa photography program. He is the highest influencing person in the program so I decided to research him because he is the one who run the department helps create programs for the students
This is taken from his biography from his site.
