Thank you so much! Yeah, it was such a last minute decision, but I'm hoping my portfolio and grades will make up for my essay and three drawings. X]] Haha, I decided to draw a tree with a house on its shoulder, riding a bicycle actually (haha, with the title "moving day" because of the tree house)--kinda out there, but my teacher told me not to be afraid of that. Again, than you so much for replying!! Haha, when I get to the next two pics, I'll let you know! I still have no idea what to do for the double sided paper and the third drawing too. X]

ps. when i say "people aren't nearly as talented"--that's all relative. i know students who came here last fall with no clue how to draw, but you taught them the basics and suddenly you see they have the most incredible eye for design or pattern or 3d, and now they're going into textiles or interior architecture or something. a lot of people forget about majors other than lets say, illustration, and think the evaluation criteria is just on skills such as drawing. it's more about your eye, because risd doesn't ask you to declare a major yet, and the possibilities at this art school really are wide open. it's great and i love it here
