'Starry back'
Chloe, a Level 3 Art & Design student has titled her piece ‘Starry Back’ inspired by Van Gogh’s ‘Starry Night’. Chloe has spent the last four months working on this to support her in building a summative portfolio for her final major project.
“I have thoroughly enjoyed my time studying at Bedford College, the teachers have been very supportive and have helped me to find what I love within the world of art,” said Chloe.
Chloe has plans to extend her education with us, opting to study a Higher National Certificate in Art.
'Beauty in Destruction'
Abby, who studies an Access to Higher Education course has titled her piece ‘Beauty in Destruction’. This is a modern dystopia piece reflecting on the world and what we leave behind with new developments.
Abby said: “I really just wanted to showcase metaphorically the way in which we leave the planet as humans. We make all of these technological advancements leaving behind breadcrumbs of what used to be. However, I wanted to show that there is still hope and that is why I decided to include the plants growing within debris.”
Abby has now accepted her place at Lincoln University, where she will be joining in September.
