Abstract:
This portfolio displays a variety of responses to selected Graduate Records Examination (GRE) Issue topics through a variety of media: comic strips. poetry. collages. photographs. and creative non-fiction. These responses have been compiled in a PowerPoint to be viewed along with the binder of written responses. These works represent a culmination of my mind's wanderings. especially due to its expansion from my acquired education at Ball State. From researching the GRE writing component's structure and history. I have written a larger response to the issue of standardized writing in my Artist Statement. Having freed myself from the paranoia of a weighted response being only in the form of an essay, my imagination has soared—something the Honors College has always encouraged. and for which I am thankful.
