Congratulations to Kelly Chen on her acceptance to Art Center College of Design in Entertainment Design/Illustration with a Scholarship of $15,000 per year $60,000 4 years

Additional School accepted were:

• UCI
• UCSB
• UCSD

Entertainment Design is designing concept for characters, vehicles, props, and environments, for fictional worlds, and digitally render for: (films, video games, animation, and theme parks, etc.). Students learn to make their designs creative, innovative, visually appealing as well as functional.


Kelly’s journey began 2 years ago when she enrolled in the portfolio program seeking skills knowledge and any educational information leading her to a path of success in the Entertainment Arts.
​

Kelly has always been naturally talented. She was one of the most excited students, eager to learn all she could absorbing every aspect of her experience here.


I can recall a student who was intimidated by the challenging profession and the competitive nature of her dream school choice (Art Center), to someone who at the end, inspired her peers and instructors by the amount of work produced and her style.


What I remember most about Kelly is that she always asked as many questions as possible about her career and welcomed critique. Conversations with her were fruitful and caught the attentions of other students to motivate them and participate in the critical dialogue during class sessions.


Parents were not sure of this major and the expense to commit to the high risk, but Kelly pursued and never gave up on her dream.

Kelly maintained high grades and was accepted to many UC’s as well. We are very excited to see what Kelly’s future will bring with a well-deserved scholarship!

WCAAD offers college-bound students a unique combination of practical expertise and mentorship to help them develop the skills, knowledge, and confidence to choose the right school for them – and get in!
