Before I get carried away blogging about different projects that I'm sure I'll be diving into, I wanted to introduce the course and why I am studying it. I have chosen to do my BA (hons) Fine Art degree at Plymouth College of Art. It is one of only four specialised art and design colleges left in the UK on the south coast of England. Plymouth has an awesome art scene, with many art museums and galleries spaced across the city. I'm actually lucky enough to start my degree at the exact time the British Art Show 7 - Days of the Comet, is in town.
I'm choosing to study fine art, as it has no boundaries and there is endless opportunity to learn new skills and incorporate all types of media into my development. I wish to become an art therapist, specialising in working with individuals with autism.
'Art Therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses art media as it's primary code of communication.'
- British Association of Art Therapists
I have a whole bunch of reasons why I wish to pursue this career, but I won't go into that now. I am just looking forward to combining these two passions together. I am very excited to get stuck in with this course, learn new ways of experiencing the world and to become a more creative person.
