Wysing Arts Centre


A few weeks ago I discovered the wonder that is Wysing Arts Centre. It is situated near Cambridge. They do a young artists talent programe which consists of a 3 day intensive course followed by a session every month. It also includes trips to place like the TATE modern and a chance to meet the TATE modern's young artists. The course ends with an exhibition of all the work.
A few weeks ago there was an open day which was a chance for the artists to look at your application and give advice as to what could be changed.  I have chosen to do the digital course in photography but will also have a chance to take part in film making and various other digital opportunities.
 For the application you need to make a statement of 100 words as to why you want to be on the course and 3 images or other material . The artist Simon gave me plenty of time to talk over my application and what 3 items would be best. I had prepared a presentation on my holiday to France with photos which although he liked he thought it was to much like holiday snaps.
 I took a few photos at wysing arts centre which are pictured below.  They are of my felted piece taken in the grounds of wysing arts centre against a backdrop of different works of art.

My felted wall hanging taken at wysing arts centre. It was taken on the door handle of an art house made entirely out of recycled materials.

This was taken layed on top of a rusted metal sculpture, again at wysing arts centre.
 In the end my 3 items are a photo of a blurred landscape, a photo of a felted piece inspired by the blurred photo and this blog can be counted as one.
 I will let you know what the feedback is and whether I got onto the course as only 12 people are allowed on.
Speak soon
