bit of an update but i got a place at chelsea for fine art (:

[@pujasharma9321]

This was really helpful, thank you!!! I've just sent off my UCAS applications for a load of Fine Art BA's and I'm just waiting to hear back about interviews now haha, it's going to be weird to have them all online this year though XD I just wanted to ask if they asked much about artists who interest you/ inspire your work?

[@JosephLosper]

Oh that's so exciting! Good luck with your applications! Online art school certainly is a different experience but as many disadvantages as it brings I think there's a new set of challenges and skills to overcome and learn.. I's definitely possible to benefit from it. It's the same as always, you'll get out as much as you put into it 👼🏻 That's a good question! I don't remember being asked that question but it's a good question that I could definitely see being asked in the interview. Preparing a solid answer for it just in case would be a good idea i think! 😊

[@pujasharma9321]

@@JosephLosper I couldn't agree with you more about online art school, this isn't quite how I expected my foundation year to go but I'm certainly still learning a lot from it 😅 Thanks, that's great to know! I'm really just trying to imagine every angle they could come from so I can be as prepared as I can. Again a big thank you for your videos! I'm so glad I came across them as there's hardly any about UK Fine Art degrees on youtube 😊

[@trevorkhaleesi8373]

I’m a beginner but I’m so curious like what is fine arts is it all kinds of painting styles of what

[@JosephLosper]

Don't be nervous! Have confidence!!! You're not the first person this week to tell me that? What's happening in the universe? 😯👼🏻

[@sashasimpson5063]

Hey this video was very helpful. I am applying and I have an interview soon. How do I actually talk about my portfolio. Do I just say what I drew and how I did it? Thank you.

[@JosephLosper]

I'm glad you found it helpful! When you're talking about your portfolio I would suggest trying to talk about the reasons behind your decisions more than just describing the decision. Talk more about the why than the what 👼🏻

[@ellejayne1129]

Hello:) Obviously at the moment interviews are taken place and portfolios are uploaded online, I was just wondering where you uploaded your video piece to. Would it be best if I uploaded my video piece onto youtube and copy the link at the bottom of my pdf portfolio? x

[@JosephLosper]

I actually had a physical interview since I was accepted in 2018 so i'm not sure about the current online format. I think if there's a way for you to upload it to vimeo or youtube and add a hyperlink in the PDF then that might be the best way I assume but it also might be worth just shooting an email to someone at the university and asking if they already have a system in place for showing video. In my interview i just showed physically printed screenshots from the video works and talked about them, i never actually showed the full videos in the interview 👼🏻

[@ellejayne1129]

@@JosephLosper Brilliant, i’ll add the link to my portfolio and let the unis know:) Thank you for your help! x

[@christophernettles2468]

Do you have any tips on writing personal statement?

[@JosephLosper]

I've tried to find my personal statement but unfortunately can't. My best advice for it would be to show don't tell. Find a way to demonstrate your knowledge, enthusiasm and drive without just blatantly saying it. For example if you want to show that you are driven, you can talk about how you collaborated with artists, found a venue and put on a show together outside of your course. Rather than just saying 'I'm a very driven individual.' The personal statement isn't really very long so you want to make sure that everything thats in there is important and you're not repeating yourself! 👼🏻

[@christophernettles2468]

@@JosephLosper Thank You! I have never put on a show or anything like that but I am making references to projects in my portfolio that indicate the passion I have for a specific process or the passion I have for narrative and story telling. I don’t know if that’s the right way to go about it, or if it’s too basic but that’s what I’m doing lol. Btw I’m applying for foundations at CSM.

[@JosephLosper]

@@christophernettles2468 I think that's a really good thing to add! I think that will be great for applying to foundation 👼🏻 Good luck with your application!!!
