This is fairly straightforward, but you might encounter a little trouble. If you do, don't worry.
Sometimes I really hate the "standard" format for academic writing in college. You know what it looks like: Double-spaced, no images, MLA style, etc. Does it have to be this way? No. I still think it's an important skill to learn, but it's not the only way to write, especially in a college dedicated to art and design.
Here's how to do it. Write your essay as you normally do. After you've finished the draft, select the entire document and make it single-spaced. After doing that, select the entire document again (or keep it highlighted) and go to the layout tab and select columns, then select 2 columns. The last step is to insert an image in the top left corner. Your choice: It could be your own art, something else, whatever. Don't worry about Copywrite; this is clearly educational and within Fair Use provisions. You can also choose not to include an image. Under the image, put your title "Why Am I an Artist?", your name, and the date. Remember to proofread the essay (yes, again) before uploading it no later than noon this Thursday. Check out the examples from last year's class. The first two are successful essays, and the last one not so much.
