Alexandrea's Story

My passion is fashion. Ever since I was very little I've always been interested in fashion. I just love the thought of being able to make a piece of art out of clothing through creativity and drive. I discovered my love for fashion when I went to a fashion show at a very young age. From then on, I've dedicated myself to try and learn as much as I can to help my knowledge of fashion flourish.The fashion world is very competitive and I feel I would be a great competitor in this game. I feel so because of my drive, determination, and willingness to learn from someone else who can help further my study of fashion. Fashion is a big part of my life and the way I express myself. Every morning I get excited to put on a new outfit.

Attending Silvermine Arts Center Teen Workshops will strengthen my ability to do what I feel is my calling and is my future. I believe going to Silvermine I will be able to experience what it's like to pursue my dreams and use what I've learned to generate creative clothing. I believe that with practice and strong work ethic I will be able to create my imprint on the fashion world. At Silvermine Arts Center Teen Workshops, I would be exposed to real world situations and how to tackle them, giving me a better understanding of how the fashion world works and how to utilize what I've experienced at my time being there.

A Note from Ms. Gentile, Alexandrea's Teacher

Alexandrea is very artistic and excels in creative projects. Being exposed to a sophisticated program such as Silvermine Arts Center Teen Workshops will be a life-changing experience for Alexandrea. These kind of experiences give kids confidence that might otherwise be hard to develop. I think the people she meets and being exposed to this kind of environment will be wonderful for her.

I had sooo much fun,truly Thank you!

First,I want to thank every kind heart that helped me attend this program I truly appreciate you.My experience at the Silvermine Art Program was such a great adventure.Everyday that week I would wake up super happy to learn and meet the same people who were interested in the same thing I was. I met so many awesome people and I know I can call them my friends. With the classes I took my teacher/instructor really helped me a lot and allowed me to grow throughout that week.Between the two classes I took I really like the figure drawing class more.I believe I enjoyed that class more because I am interested in fashion and designing clothes and learning to figure draw is a huge aspect of the art of fashion.The figure drawing class taught me that not everyone's body is the same and that it should be celebrated in the fashion world.This experience has truthfully inspired me to work harder and practice more on my craft because of how much I love it. I hope and wish to take more programs that will also help me enhance my learning in art.Thank you!

I am so ready to have this experience!

I honestly can not wait to have this experience to explore art. I believe I am gonna have so much fun,meet so talented people,and learn different things that I never tried to explore.There I believe I will learn more of what my weaknesses are and strengths.This will truly be a huge milestone for me and my art career.I want to thank everyone who donated to help me find out what I want to do when I get older.
