Today was the official end before the end of my year at Northbrook College in Worthing studying for an Art Foundation specialising in Fine Art.
(By end before the end i mean there is just the Private View and BBQ to go and it is all over.)
It's been amazing how fast it has gone, and whilst not all of it has been enjoyable i am really glad i did it. I wasn't ready for Uni a year ago and certainly wasn't ready to take a "gap year." Plus i seem to be developing an addiction to qualifications, which makes me potentially the most qualified person to ever be rejected from Lidl..or B&Q..or Halfords..but my battle with unemployment is a whole different blog-story!
So Foundation. I got my grade, a Merit. Which is what i deserve. And expected. But its not a Distinction. I really do put unnecessary pressure on me. Again...i'll save that for another blog.
More excitingly, my artwork got selected to adorn the posters and invites for the exhibition! What to see one? : )
The photo is of a college friend Mr Charles Stanley, who can be found on all good myspaces and in the band Charlie and the Ketamen. He probably won't see this shameless plugging, but he is ace so check him out if you fancy it. He's also selling some of his paintings done on the Foundation Course, and if you, unlike me don't live in a 300 year old cottage i think you have no reason not to buy one to add "interest" to your abode.
I'll post some Exhibition shots soon, if anyone is local..or overwhelmingly curious and has time to spare please come to see it!
