Dear Admissions Officer Amy Adams:
It is with great pleasure that I am writing this letter of recommendation for Susie
Student. In the past four years, I have taught Susie in a number of visual arts
courses in all of which she has excelled. Based on my experience with Susie, I
can say without the shadow of a doubt that she is one of the most naturally
talented and hardworking art students with whom I have had the opportunity to
work. She is exceptionally well prepared to move onto the collegiate level, and it
is clear to me that she has a very bright future in the creative arts.
Susie is very mature for her age and she approaches her art with an astute sense of
objectivity. She processes constructive criticism well and is always willing to go
the extra mile in order to take her work to the highest level of formal and
conceptual refinement. Susie has a very methodical creative process; she develops
her concepts thoughtfully, creates interesting exploratory sketches, and builds
meticulous scale models before she commits herself, with confidence, to the
fabrication process. Once Susie begins fabrication, she works with precision and
purpose. Her skills of craftsmanship are highly developed and she has an
incredibly astute attention to detail. In
addition,
I have been impressed by Susie’s
ability to couple her attention to detail with a broader stylistic focus that allows
her to consider how effectively her compositions function as a whole. Therein,
Susie creates sculptures that are cohesive in form and eloquent in their
communication of sophisticated concepts. All in all, Susie is an incredibly well
