My name is Michael Williamson, but I go by "Will."
I am a fourth year, technically 2nd year, transfer student. I transferred from Saddleback College after earning my Associates of Arts (A.A.) in Liberal Arts and Sciences. While at community college, I focused my energy in theater and film production; later, I discovered writing, in particular screenwriting. I am a World Arts and Cultures major, and I am planning to minor in Public Affairs.
I am taking this course because it is a combination of both art history and theory, and and art practice. In high school I took two years of art, both introductory and advanced, and I believe I excelled in "free sketch." Although I do not find myself participating in art as a profession after I graduate, I do plan on continuing courses in the different forms of art as I continue to practice and further develop my craft.
Ultimately, I want to become both a paid and credited screenwriter, as well as become a published novelist. I am working on the 2nd draft of my novel Turds: An Untold Story, which is about four Marines and their entry and exit from the military. The emphasis of my book will focus on the lives of four different service members and their engagement with the political culture and environment of the military.
For fun I write, produce and direct Youtube videos for my channel, the #StudentHeroesExperiment, on the weekends with my friends and local LA aspiring filmmakers. It is a lot of fun, and I recommend becoming a Youtube creator as it is a great opportunity for independent artists from any platform to express themselves and showcase their work.

Although this is a LATE POST, I do appreciate this class as it has forced me to think from a different perspective.
Go Bruins!
