2015-4-28 姐姐今天终于接到加州暑假艺术学校（California State Summer School for the Arts - CSSSA）的录取通知书，暑假要去加州艺术学院（CalArts）学习做动漫了。姐姐的一个也是学美术也非常有天赋的一个同学一直想着去CalArts的暑假项目培训，但去年和今年都没有接到通知。因为CalArts的暑假动漫班，主要是对加州的高中学生开，每年招约五百名，分七个专业，录取的比例是三分之一，而外州的孩子，第一是价格贵，是本州的三倍还多，第二是有名额限制，根据CalArts在自己网页和通知书上吹牛，说外州学生录取的总数，不超过二十名。 姐姐去年就被CalArts接受过，但是没有去，今年她是志在必得，所以大学和研究所的暑假实习，一个都没有申请。她去年暑假在医药研究所打工挣了两千块，今年得了美术协会的奖学金2000块，虽然加起来，还不够交学费的。 马里兰艺术学校（MICA）也在两个星期之前，给姐姐发来了通知，并让在五月初给答复，姐姐正在着急呢，因为CalArts的录取通知书，一般是在五月中旬才发出， 是所有的暑假项目中最晚的。去年就是相同的原因，姐姐先接受了一家医药研究所做实习，没有去CalArts和MICA。我们做家长的， 知道这些培训班，是以赚钱为目的的，但也 只好安慰她，说肯定会收的，因为不收她是CalArts的损失，让她自己，先给学校写信催一催。也给MICA写信，说明情况。结果大概还没等写信，人家通知和表格就先给寄来了。 看起来这两个学校，尤其是CalArts，今年是学乖了一点。 The California State Summer School for the Arts (CSSSA) is a rigorous pre-professional training program in the visual and performing arts, creative writing, animation, and film for talented artists of high school age. CSSSA provides a supportive environment in which students hone acquired skills and explore new techniques and ideas for an intense and exciting learning experience. The School was created by the California Legislature, held its first session in 1987 and will conduct its 29th session in 2015. This intense, four week program was held at CalArts and was divided into seven different departments—animation, creative writing, dance, film and video, music, theater, and visual arts - and admitted 500 teenagers every year, only one-third of those who applied. California residents enrolled in grades nine through twelve may apply to attend CSSSA. Students from outside of California may also apply; twenty are admitted each year. Participants are selected in the spring, on the basis of their talent and creativity as demonstrated through assignments and teacher recommendations.
