I chose to study the Art and Design Foundation year based on a recommendation from one of my Sixth Form Art teachers. I studied Fine Art at A-Level but found that I was more interested in Graphic Design. I wanted to build up skills in this area before embarking on a degree in it, so my teacher suggested the Art and Design Foundation year.
The teaching at Loughborough University has allowed me to broaden my understanding on what Art and Design can be. Before coming to Loughborough, I was familiar with common mediums such as painting and drawing, but the teaching here showed me how I could think beyond this and create work that is more interactive and dynamic.
