Art
A few things to help you on your journey into arts education at university or foundation studies in art and design.
The best advice for a practical route is to keep working: drawing, painting, taking photographs and videos. Travel: see galleries, cities, train stations, building sites, rivers, etc, etc - find out what it is that interests you and get stuck in. There are two mini projects below to help you on your way. Once you have completed one of these, set yourself your own project focusing on an area of investigation that you feel suits your way of working more accurately.
