Meet The Students

Jessica has explored a few varied themes throughout her time on this degree, including the history of witchcraft, friendship and connection with nature. Her favourite way to produce work is to draw her ideas out traditionally. Once she is happy with the drawing she will process it by using Photoshop, Jessica also enjoys making animations as well when she can. Jessica also sells art through her etsy page and is hoping to get a job creating educational content for kids once she has completed this foundation degree.

Throughout her two years studying this degree Susan has explored themes of self-identity, society's labels upon judgement, perceptions of pre-judgement, and communication through lines. Now, she is finishing her foundation degree by exploring the 7 stages of grief. Susan's work has delved into creating awareness and support for the disabled community. Susan hopes to continue her studies and complete her bachelor's degree in visual communications. 

Sam's current work focuses on visuals and realism as the project he is working on currently has a lot of film and photography. He likes to leave his work open to interpretation from his audience, a lot of his work does have meaning to it but he prefers to keep that to himself and allow the audience to come up with their thoughts and theories. In the future, Sam would like to continue his passion for animation by uploading his work to his YouTube channel linked below. He would love to get a job in the same field working hard where he can work for himself and have full creative freedom.

Katie has spent the past two years of this foundation degree exploring concepts of managing isolation and searching for an escape. She has played around with natural elements in her work by using soil, moss and rainwater. During her time on this foundation degree, she has experimented with photography, drawing and painting. Katie says her strongest skill as an artist is her paintings, she has been painting for many years and her most common themes are femininity, nature and mythology. Once she qualifies by completing another year in Plymouth Katie hopes to fulfil her dream job by becoming a self-employed artist. 

Ella has spent the past two years exploring various themes such as the balance of love vs death, how women are treated in society, her relationship with her father, a discovery into textiles & bioluminescence and opening the conversation of sex and sexuality in the 21st century. Ella is hoping to pursue her passion in art by continuing to make her arts and crafts as seen on her Instagram. 

Emily's usual drawing style includes lots of stylised figures, she also enjoys experimenting with other types of drawings. While her work is mostly done via procreate she also likes to play around with other mediums to see what she makes. She is hoping to go to Plymouth next year to finish her degree in animation.

Over the two years on the degree, Marie has explored themes such as looking into her own identity as an artist, challenging societal norms by highlighting the rat race mentality in society, exploring the essence of humanity and in her final module exploring the relationship between time and mortality.
