Art and Design – Art Foundation

  

 

Currently studying for a Masters in Fine Art at the Wimbledon College of Art, Victoria values her time studying on a Art Foundation course at Chesterfield College as she felt it prepared her really well for further studies in the subject.

 

Victoria explains, “I’m really happy I chose the Art Foundation course at College however as it broadened my horizons and made me realise that there is more to art than just painting. Tutors encourage you to try new things and experiment with techniques which allows you to choose exactly which path of further study and career to pursue.


“If I had to choose one element of the course which I benefitted from more than anything else I would have to say the life drawing classes which were amazing and helped me so much. All of the skills I acquired and subsequent portfolio of diverse work I collated really stood me in good stead for university interviews.

   

Case Study: Victoria

 

“All of the tutors and technicians are second to none and the facilities at College definitely opened up a wider range of possibilities for developing my work. I can safely say that without the Art Foundation course I wouldn’t have progressed as I have done.


“Whilst studying for my Masters I’m also currently working as an assistant for a paint and performance artist called Franko B and an installation artist called David Rickard which is a great way of gaining industry experience.”
