An art related career that I am very interested in and would like to pursue is Architecture and Design. Architects are responsible for designing buildings and making sure they are fit for construction. First, they are hired by a client to design an ideal building that the client has in mind. This is where the art comes in, because the drawings will be detailed and specific according to the client’s preferences. Then, the architect would have to incorporate math and science to turn the drawing into a construction plan and to make sure the building is in line with the client’s budget and can realistically be constructed.
In order to become an architect, you must have either a Bachelor of Architecture degree or a Master of Architecture degree. Another requirement is a three year training period called the “Architectural Experience Program.” During this period, you will be trained by a licensed Architect and will gain experience in all the necessary areas. The three most common majors for this career are Architecture, Architectural Engineering, and Interior Design. The top 4 Schools with architecture programs in Virginia are University of Virginia, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Hampton University, and Norfolk State University.

This is a synthesis piece of my passion in learning other cultures and my interest in Architecture. The Colosseum drawings, along with the 3-D structure of the letters, represent Architecture, while the color scheme and the word "ciao" represent my love for Italian culture. In this painting, I showed my interest in Architecture with the lighthouse, along with a scene of nature which I find to be important to Architecture. My passion for other cultures is displayed at the bottom where I wrote "I love you" in different languages on the colorful land. The different colors represent the diversity in the various cultures of the world.
