Art schools don't relaly make decisions about students on a purely subjective basis ( like or dislike your work) they're looking for people who demonstrate some talent and, more importantly, passion for pursuing an education in the arts.What might be a greater challenge for you, since you're so young yet determined on your style of work, is being open to change. Being teachable is pretty important. There is no point in going to art school at all if you're set on your style, method, ideas, etc. In other words, don't go to art school if your only objective is having a degree to put on your resume.Art school can, and should, challenge your perceptions of what you do, and how you do it. They will require you to take formal drawing classes, life drawing and still-life painting and that sort of thing. You may indeed stay with your abstract style, but you'll build out skills that will help you do all sorts of work, if you choose to, including figurative (or realistic) work.I doubt any school will actively work against your desire to paint a certain way, but you may need to do other things to succeed in the courses you take. In other words, you'll be able to use your style in school, but you may not be able to get by on that alone.(Graduate of School of Visual Arts, NYC)
