Qualifications and Training
BA Hons Computer and Video Games with Art Foundation– 2009 to 2013
I am studying on this course as both an aid to my digital and traditional skills. I have received an unconditional offer with a first year of an art foundation, due to my last course being so sub-par.
ABC Foundation Studies in Art and Media – 2008 to 2009 – Pass Grade
My study on the foundation in art was mostly to help improve my traditional art skills, though I didn’t find the course taught me much in the area of Art. For example they never touched colour theory or perspective and only started life drawing a month before leaving.

This course helped me refine my already present digital art skills. Due to my previous experience with digital art, predominantly video game development I was able to over the expectations. I regularly helped and taught both students and teachers in their understanding of the skills applicable.
