Progression

After this course finishes I will be going to University. I am going to study Modelmaking at the Arts University of Bournemouth. I had my interview last year and got a place, so the purpose of this course is to improve my skills and gain confidence in the processes I will need for the course. This project has been very helpful for me in preparing for University, firstly in learning the process of writing a project proposal. I had not done this for any of my previous projects so it was good to have support from my tutor and peers when writing it, and I expect it will make me feel more confident to write this sort of proposal in the future. I have also learnt skills in modelmaking, such as making a plaster cast and working with latex, and have had more practise in following a design through to the completion of the model. These will all be useful for University and will hopefully make me feel more prepared when I start in September.

I have enjoyed this course a lot, especially the wide range of projects we have been able to work on and new things I have been able to try. I am glad that I chose to follow the photomedia pathway because I think it has given me the most freedom to make things I want to make, as well as encouraging me to try things I would not normally do such as photography, film and animation.
