Are We Normal: Linking with our environment.
These images are all about how we link and are influenced by our enviroment. to do this i manipulated the image of portriats as well as some images of their surroundings and made one images. I like the way that it looks as though they are blending together and the way they look as though they are meant to be like that.

Are We Normal: Water
These images where really fun to do. I took these images under water using a special tripod. It is nothing i have ever done before but i love the way the images have come out. My favourite thing about these images are the colours and the way it changes the image so much.

Are We Normal: Out And About.
These images are all about going out and about. For this shoot i went to one of my favourite places and a place that has special meaning to me. i took images along a path that i walk through alot. This likes to are we normal because its all about how we link ourselves to places and what is around you. I like these images because they make me feel peaceful and i love the colours and dreamy feel it gives.and if i could have improved then i would have made them more interesting.

Personal Statement
I am a hardworking, confident and enthusiastic person who
loves working with people. I pride myself on my ability to take on new
challenges and work effectively with new people and individually.
I first discovered my passion for art when I visited to the
galleries in London. Seeing all the varying forms of art from all different
artists I felt inspired. I distinctly remember a trip to the V&A to see an
exhibition based around the theme of Chinese culture. One dress really stood
out from the rest; a student had hand painted the most intricate pattern and
created a really beautiful item which drew your eye from wherever you stood in
the room. From then on I was hooked so proceeded to study art at GCSE and progressed
to a BTEC level 3 Extended Diploma in Art and Design.
In GCSE level I studied two creative subjects as my choices.
One was Art and the other was the Diploma in Creative and Media. Both of these
subjects really intensified my passion for the subject which increased further
when I started college. College gave me the opportunity participate in subjects
that I had never done before such as Textiles, Photography, Fine Art and
Graphics which allowed me to gain experience in a range of subjects.
After studying art in design at both level 2 and level 3 I know
this course would be a fantastic next step and an exciting new prospect for me.
This course will allow me to try something new and exciting and broaden my skills
and education in the arts.
I used to be part of an operatics society in Tiverton. I
loved the buzz off making the show happen and performing. Not only did I enjoy
being part of the show, I also loved getting involved in the set making,
costumes and makeup. Participating in the shows got me used to working to a
brief, with pressure and a deadline. The skills I picked up there will be a
helpful and a valuable asset to this course as it taught me how to handle the
pressure and keep to a schedule.
In my spare time I love to paint. I’ve just started painting
to briefs for clients after someone saw my work in our house and spread the
word. I really enjoy doing this because I get to do what I enjoy and make
people happy at the same time. I also have a part time job which has helped me
become independent and responsible.
I have always been really inspired by artists who have blossomed
from nowhere and have created really beautiful, unusual and unique pieces of
work. My favorite painter in Stephen Simpson. I saw his work hidden in a local
gallery and his paintings is so unusual and unique, they are hard to look away
from. He uses all different mediums and utilizes them all together to create
something that cannot be duplicated. The quality of really inspires me.
University, although challenging, will upmost provide me
with an exciting new adventure. This is a subject I’m am extremely passionate
about and this course will allow me to expand my skills, knowledge and
experience in the arts ready for the industry.

Apprenticeships
Apprenticeships
PHOTO IMAGING
This is the first work
apprenticeship that I have found. This placement is all about photography and
the techniques that surround it. I think this would be a good placement for me
as I will be doing something different all the time so I will never get bored
with what I am doing. Job roles include photo imaging briefs, undertaking
photographic assignments, colour management procedures, using minilab
equipment, technical adjustment of images, image cataloguing and freelance
working. Also not only will I be learning ne w things but I will be earning too
and the starting salary is £12,00 and goes up as you go. Also as it is an
advanced level apprenticeship means that its specialized so you know that you
will defiantly be doing what it says on the website.
Apprenticeships
INTERNATIONAL SERVICE
This is an apprenticeship
that links really well with what I want to do with my gap year. This
apprenticeship is all about giving something back to people who are less
fortunate. It is a lot cheaper then some of the gap year opportunities that GVI
are offering. When your there you get all the training and support you need to
help the other people. When your there ill be working with community-based organisations
working at a grassroots level, established national and
international charities, local, regional and
national government departments. I think this would be a good thing for me to
do as it is a cheaper way to help people and also allows you to give something
back to people who cant help themselves.
