My advice to anyone considering studying the Fine Art course is to be patient with yourself and your practice. You cannot expect to ‘find your niche’ in the first year and you cannot expect to always love your work. Every artist has their bad days, and every artist has those dream-like moments – it’s key to reflect on your personal growth and development of your practice throughout your whole career, and that’s exactly why the tutors are there.
The nature of being an artist is that your work can touch on very personal subject matters, and the Tutors and Student Services helped me find my voice and mode of expression with dealing with my own. Not only did they support me and my own well-being, but in doing this they have shown me I can freely express my voice through the arts, and it has led me to where I am today.
