Blogger, it's been 2 months since my last confession...

Since I last posted on here I attended my interview at Edinburgh College! It was a great experience, I was able to mingle with fellow hopeful students and get to know a bit about each other before we were taken in individually for our 10 minute interviews.

I was asked questions like;

1. Why do you want to do this course?
2. What was the last exhibition you saw?
3. What do you think the strongest piece in your portfolio is?

My lecturer had helped me the week leading up to the interview with the portfolio itself, mounting photographs, drawings, prints etc. I had explanations at the ready for each board of work but was only able to convey these through my answers to their questions.

It was great to see their facilities and where I will hopefully be studying for the next 2 years. I was able to ask them a few questions of my own at the end of the interview. I enquired about how much freedom and flexibility we will have as students when it comes to projects, also I was eager to find out about life drawing classes and how regular they would be.

The interview panel told me they really enjoyed looking through my work and especially watching the video pieces I included on a disc for them to view with the portfolio.

I was told we would here back from them later in May. So until then the pressure is on regarding our current units: Papermaking (due in this Wednesday), Surface Pattern (due the Tuesday after) and Info Graphics and Final Major Project sometime around that time too! I still have bits and pieces to get together and sketchbook work to polish off but apart from that everything is on schedule!
