Creating Art in Japan

My proudest moment during my time abroad is when I combined the two areas of study: art and Japanese. I was wandering around Osaka one day, and wound up in a gallery. I was able to strike up an hour-long conversation in Japanese about art with the owners of the gallery, establishing both an art connection and new friendship. Because of my studies I was able to create a potentially helpful contact to further my career in art and open up the doors to showing my art on a global level.

The host university, Osaka University of the Arts, evaluates portfolios and assigns each student to studio arts classes that fit individual background, goals and linguistic needs.
