The work that I have submitted is a mixture of my current ongoing work from this year and my A level work from last year. I have chosen some of my favourite work and the pieces that I feel reflect my style, the way I work and my interests best.
Observational Drawings
I use a lot of textured surfaces in my work, I think they give drawings and paintings a depth and make them more interesting.
Timed Life Drawings
Paintings from 'Life and Death' Project
Expressive skull paintings done in black acrylic using a pallet knife.
Sketchbook Pages

The shoes above I made out of pages from old books. They are presented along side one of the pages of research that I carried out to go with it. They are part of a paper garments assignment that I chose to base on the artist Jennifer Collier.
For as long as I can remember, I have been really passionate about art and I cannot see myself doing anything else. I don't think there is anything more exciting than being completely lost in a project and flooded with ideas. I love the satisfaction of admiring a finished painting when you have put so much time and effort into it. I love the way art gives you the freedom to let your imagination run wild. Aswell as art I have a huge interest in Music, Singing, playing guitar and Baking. I use these hobbies as an outlet from work and the pressures of everyday life.
I want to do this course because I want to extend my art knowledge and develop as an artist. I feel that this course would suits me because I want to be pushed outside my comfort zone and learn as much as I possibly can aswell as gaining more experience in the area. As a career I would like to become an art teacher so I think that this course will give me the right skills to progress and achieve my goal.
