Short Answer question - Please respond to the following questions to the best of your ability.

Describe something you made, wrote, or participated in that was particularly meaningful to you and what about it made it so meaningful. What are you curious about and what do you want to explore further?

A good part of what makes Putney really fun is that everyone becomes really engaged in the community. This includes activities with small groups in your dorm, with people taking the same workshop as you, the same afternoon or evening activities, the camping overnight and more. Larger program-wide activities include everything from assemblies, morning sing, meal times, dances, field trips and much more. The ways we each participate in this community is an important factor in creating the space we all want to be in to grow and thrive as artists and as individuals. To this end, what does community mean to you? In what ways do you see yourself engaging with the Putney community? What community do you currently feel closest to and what is special about that community?

At Putney we learn by doing. We dive into the work of art making and community building with commitment and vulnerability, and with the desire to experiment with materials and ideas as we engage with one another. In what ways do you learn best? What are some of the ways you have been helpful to others when working in pairs or small groups?

Is there anything that would prevent you from having the stamina or resilience to engage fully in this community of teenagers and adults who are enthusiastic about the arts and building a community together?
