My first post

My first Blog
My name is Amanda and I have recently graduated  with a 2-1 BA Hons degree in fine art sculpture.
I have not always been as passionate about art, but art has always been a part of my life.
After only gaining 14 credits out of a possible 30 in an access course to higher education but not wanting to clean toilets for a living, I decided to play on my strengths and enrolled in a foundation art course where i fell completely in love with sculpture. For a creative mind, having no limitations in your media can only be a plus!
During the final year of my degree, I also wrote a book - ‘My Name Is Soldier’, which is the core of my current work.

I feel that art is completely subjective and is something that in practice and with enthusiasm can only receive praise. I would like to teach the subject to support others on their journey, to imbue in them an enthusiasm and freedom to express themselves and enjoy art.
