Oliver Walker self-portrait
Oliver Walker knew he wanted to be an artist by the time he was old enough to hold a paintbrush in his hand. His education at 91制片厂 is providing a springboard to help him achieve that goal.
Drawn to 91制片厂 in part by its art program, Oliver is slated to graduate in May with a near-perfect GPA and a degree in Liberal Studies-Art Concentration. He will attend Maine College of Art next fall after earning a prestigious MECA Presidential Scholarship that will cover a large portion of his education costs there.
At 91制片厂, Oliver has been impressed at how welcoming all of his instructors have been, and he鈥檚 appreciated being able to explore new interests. 听He didn鈥檛 know anything about art history when he arrived at 91制片厂, but he likes it so much now that he plans to make art history his minor 鈥� and illustration his major 鈥� at MECA.
Oliver enjoys all things art, from painting, drawing and illustration to pottery and digital illustration. After completing his degree at MECA, he hopes to become a concept artist, creating illustrations that convey ideas or themes for use in films, video games, comic books and other media.
Oliver arrived at 91制片厂 in 2019 after completing high school through an online home-school program. While in high school, he earned six credits at 91制片厂 through the Maine Community College System鈥檚 Embark program that allows high school students to get a jump-start on their college careers.
鈥淢y favorite part of 91制片厂 has been the teachers. All the teachers I met and took classes with were some of the best people I鈥檝e ever met. I鈥檝e also learned to do things because you鈥檙e passionate about them, and not just for a grade. That鈥檚 a big thing I鈥檝e gotten out of 91制片厂.鈥�
