I am inspired by puppet makers.  My particular favourites are Jim Henson and Nick Parks. My interests are in those used for television, film and theatre.  I am interested in all sizes from small hand puppets to large machine operated puppets such as those in War Horse.  I love how Nick Parks is able to demonstrate emotion through his clever portrayal of characters which are widely known and how Jim Henson was able to create a globally recognised brand using puppets showing different personalities and characteristics.

Higher education - Costume design and making

The costume design and making course focuses equally on the development of both skills in design and making. Using the traditional, technical and bespoke techniques. This is used to help you construct finished costumes for that will eventually be used for film, advert (TV), festival and theatre.

This course will help to develop skills in such areas as pattern cutting, tailoring, millinery/wigs, costume props, puppets, fabric knowledge.

- Take part in live industry projects
- Take trips to see opera, ballet, theatre and dance performances

- Exhibit your work in your final year at our Degree Shows.

I have chosen this course because it offers the opportunity to design clothing and costumes for design tasks. I enjoy costume design and feel that I could learn new skills which will further my knowledge in this area and allow me to take trips to theatres where I would be able to get a closer perspective on how costumes are designed for the use of stage.

Volunteer opportunities/Work experience

An area of work experience I would like  to be a part of is to gain a placement at the Royal Opera House in Purfleet.  having had the experience to go there on a few occasions with my current course I feel this is an area I would like to explore further.  There are several areas of expertise I am interested in, these are art administration, costumer production, props, scenic art and scenic carpentry and metalwork.  Most placement last from a few days to several weeks and are based at Purfleet or in Covent Garden.  There is no cost for placements other than travel costs.

Over the last academic year I have had the opportunity of working with St Clere's secondary school for up to four weeks as a volunteer.  I worked in the schools Art and design departments.

This was self directed because I felt that working in a school environment within  the area in which  I am also studying ( this being art ) would be a good experience as well as showing a desire to improve myself and my knowledge in a different work environment on my CV. For this I had to prepare the pupils equipment through the gathering of necessary resources before lessons started.  I also assisted  the teachers with tasks such as preparing books and assisting them in order to mark quicker by alphabetically ordering them.

Another opportunity I was giving while in this position was going around the class and helping pupils when needed.

I feel that this has supported me as a student because I was able to view pupils work as an observer from a different perspective other than that of the pupil, this has helped me to understand what is required of me from a teachers perspective.

The Cambridge Architecture Tripos is oriented around the teaching of design – from the smallest detail to the scale of the city.

This involves individual studio tutorials and regular critical reviews in which you are encouraged to explore your own ideas and develop your own approach to design.

- This course includes classes in computer-aided design, representation and life-drawing.

- At the end of each year you submit a portfolio of studio work and course work in addition to taking written examinations.

I would like to do this course because I am interested in the design stage of a structure. This would be a good course for me as I will be able to use Drawing skills taught to me in art classes to further develop a detailed perspective of the plan and interior designs for buildings and structures.
