This selection of my work consists of pieces dating back to when I took my A-levels up to recent pieces of work; only a few months old, that I have produced during my time on an art foundation course in Liverpool. I have chosen these (quite contrasting) pieces to show the development of my work and the progression of my own skills over the course of 3 years, from moving away from one set way of working, to straying from a media that feels comfortable to draw with, to experimenting with a variety of materials to see what outcome that may lead to.
I believe that over the past few months I have benefitted greatly as an artist as not only have I opened up to a new way of thinking about using other techniques and materials but I have also discovered hidden talents when using them that I had not known I had possessed nor did I think I was capable of producing work of a certain quality with them.
I am interested in this course because I understand that there is always room for improvement and I want to develop my knowledge of Fine Art and my skills to the best of my ability in higher education so that I can excel in an artistic career of my choosing in the working world. I am also interested in a course here as I have visited Manchester on various occasions and found the city to be a place beneficial in drawing inspiration from, from the vibrancy of student life to the assortment of differing buildings to the various galleries dotted about the city that I would visit to research artists that I have yet to discover.
