RECENT NEWS STORIES

Dachshund looking up into the camera

<p>Last month, members of the public had the opportunity to book their dogs onto a free pet photoshoot in the photography studios at Loxton Campus. These sessions were run by Year 1 and Year 2 <a href="https://www.weston.ac.uk/what-can-i-study/courses-16-18-year-olds/creat… 3 Photography</a> students, offering them a valuable hands-on learning experience.<o:p></o:p></p><p>The students had the chance to photograph a wide variety of dog breeds, including Dachshunds, Huskies, French Bulldogs, Pomeranians, and many others. This annual event is always in high demand and sells out quickly. Not only does it provide an exciting real-world opportunity for students to enhance their photography skills, but it also allows the public to receive stunning, high-quality portraits of their beloved pets—completely free of charge.<o:p></o:p></p><p>The experience proved to be an excellent challenge for the students, helping them adapt to the needs of each dog. Not only this, capturing the perfect shot developed the students’ patience, quick thinking, and the ability to work with energetic subjects that were not always keen to sit still! These kinds of challenges are typical in professional photography due to the dynamic nature of the job, making this the perfect way for learners to gain industry experience in a controlled environment and prepare them for their future careers.<o:p></o:p></p><p>As well as gaining invaluable experience in a fast-paced, client-focused setting, the students also got to develop their personal portfolios that they can use after college.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Paul French, one of our <a href="https://www.weston.ac.uk/what-can-i-study/courses-16-18-year-olds/creat…; lecturers who organises the event each year, ensures it runs smoothly for the public, the students, and the dogs. "This event provides invaluable experience for our learners, giving them a glimpse into their future as photographers and insight into the industry. The students stepped up to the challenge and portrayed a fantastic level of maturity and professionalism—a great reflection of Weston College and the well-rounded students we produce", Paul added.<o:p></o:p></p><p>The annual dog photoshoot continues to be a highlight for both students and the community, encouraging skill development, creativity, and the joy of capturing unforgettable moments with your precious pups.</p><p>Check out a few of this year's amazing pet portraits:</p><drupal-entity alt="&quot;Black and brown dog quizzically looking into the camera&quot;" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="407a8c3b-5108-4231-b49e-536f9efaae03" data-embed-button="file_browser" data-entity-embed-display="image:image" data-entity-embed-display-settings="{&quot;image_style&quot;:&quot;max_500x500&quot;,&quot;image_link&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;image_loading&quot;:{&quot;attribute&quot;:&quot;lazy&quot;}}">&nbsp;</drupal-entity><p>&nbsp;</p><drupal-entity alt="&quot;Grey and white dog crouched towards the camera&quot;" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="0a106a66-2cf8-4270-84e0-792159c50063" data-embed-button="file_browser" data-entity-embed-display="image:image" data-entity-embed-display-settings="{&quot;image_style&quot;:&quot;max_500x500&quot;,&quot;image_link&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;image_loading&quot;:{&quot;attribute&quot;:&quot;lazy&quot;}}">&nbsp;</drupal-entity><p>&nbsp;</p><drupal-entity alt="&quot;French bulldog looking at the camera with her tongue out&quot;" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="88dfd4f4-829f-4910-8ed8-806789f438e2" data-embed-button="file_browser" data-entity-embed-display="image:image" data-entity-embed-display-settings="{&quot;image_style&quot;:&quot;max_500x500&quot;,&quot;image_link&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;image_loading&quot;:{&quot;attribute&quot;:&quot;lazy&quot;}}">&nbsp;</drupal-entity><p>&nbsp;</p><drupal-entity alt="&quot;Pomeranian looking at the camera with her tongue out&quot;" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b388addb-90de-49c8-8944-8c66c1e9157f" data-embed-button="file_browser" data-entity-embed-display="image:image" data-entity-embed-display-settings="{&quot;image_style&quot;:&quot;max_500x500&quot;,&quot;image_link&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;image_loading&quot;:{&quot;attribute&quot;:&quot;lazy&quot;}}">&nbsp;</drupal-entity><p>&nbsp;</p><drupal-entity alt="&quot;Light brown dachshund looking up into the camera&quot;" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="313c0b4c-6463-4560-845f-5a8e74ab17fe" data-embed-button="file_browser" data-entity-embed-display="image:image" data-entity-embed-display-settings="{&quot;image_style&quot;:&quot;max_500x500&quot;,&quot;image_link&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;image_loading&quot;:{&quot;attribute&quot;:&quot;lazy&quot;}}">&nbsp;</drupal-entity><p>&nbsp;</p><p><o:p></o:p></p><p><a href="https://www.weston.ac.uk/what-can-i-study/courses-16-18-year-olds/creat… you’re interested in applying to one of our Photography courses in September, click here.</a><o:p></o:p></p>

William's fashion designs on models

<p>We are thrilled to celebrate the outstanding success of&nbsp;<strong>William Palmer</strong>, a former <a href="https://www.weston.ac.uk/what-can-i-study/courses-adults/art-design-gra… Art &amp; Design</a> student at Weston College, who has been recognised with the top award at London Fashion Week. William was honoured with the prestigious&nbsp;<strong>L'Oréal Professional Creative Award</strong>&nbsp;for his MA show at the renowned&nbsp;<strong>Central Saint Martins (CSM)</strong>.<o:p></o:p></p><p>William’s exceptional talent and creative vision shone through at the&nbsp;<strong>Central Saint Martins MA Fashion press show</strong>, where his work captivated the industry’s leading figures. The winners were selected by none other than&nbsp;<strong>Yu Masui</strong>, the eccentric Japanese influencer and talent scout for the esteemed&nbsp;<strong>LVMH Prize</strong>, further solidifying William’s place among fashion’s rising stars.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Since his Foundation year at Weston College, William has built on that knowledge and had a lot of experience with products before landing a place at&nbsp;<strong>CSM</strong>. He was hired by&nbsp;<strong>Dover Street Market</strong>&nbsp;to produce collections for&nbsp;<strong>Gosha Rubchinskiy</strong>&nbsp;and later oversaw the product development of brands under the Dover Street Market Paris umbrella, such as&nbsp;<strong>ERL</strong>.<o:p></o:p></p><p>During the show, William was one of the very few who showed clothes that could be immediately sold on a shop floor, including an oversized duffle coat, a check shirt, and a trench coat.<o:p></o:p></p><p>It was a fun collection, too. “I took the tongue-in-cheek attitude of lad culture, subverting it through funny fabrics, like the tea towels, and the teacup hats. I use humour a lot also. I drew parallels between adolescence and adulthood. I’m trying to make a more playful, carefree type of guy. The world would be better for everyone,” William added.</p><drupal-entity alt="&quot;Three of William&apos;s designs on models: 1 in a large, oversized duffle coat, 1 tea towel flannel shirt and a teacup hat, and 1 in a brown coat and a hoodie jumpsuit&quot;" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="47299540-b2e8-4281-aee3-facf3cca9cb4" data-embed-button="file_browser" data-entity-embed-display="image:image" data-entity-embed-display-settings="{&quot;image_style&quot;:&quot;max_500x500&quot;,&quot;image_link&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;image_loading&quot;:{&quot;attribute&quot;:&quot;lazy&quot;}}">&nbsp;</drupal-entity><p><em>Image courtesy of Women's Wear Daily</em></p><p>The <a href="https://www.weston.ac.uk/what-can-i-study/courses-adults/art-design-gra… Art &amp; Design</a> course at Weston College provided William with the skills and techniques required to get into Central Saint Martins at the University of the Arts London, saying, “My pre-degree course provided me with essential foundational skills, basic knowledge, and the opportunity to develop a portfolio that ultimately helped me secure further studies.&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></p><p>It was during my A-Level studies at Weston College that I first discovered my drive to pursue fashion design. Following that, I enrolled in an Art Foundation course, which became one of my most memorable years. Surrounded by a diverse group of creatives from various backgrounds, I had the chance to specialize in fashion for the first time. This focused approach allowed me to take my passion seriously, equipping me with the skills and confidence to continue my studies in London.<o:p></o:p></p><p><strong>Rachel Clayton</strong>, William's former tutor at&nbsp;<strong>Weston College's Foundation Art &amp; Design</strong>&nbsp;programme, shared his pride: "William's dedication and innovative approach were evident from the start. I am over the moon to see him receive such a distinguished honour. His journey from a dedicated <a href="https://www.weston.ac.uk/what-can-i-study/courses-adults/art-design-gra… Art &amp; Design</a> learner at Weston College to receiving one of the most coveted accolades in the fashion industry is truly inspiring. This achievement is a testament to his hard work, passion, and innovative approach to fashion design.”<o:p></o:p></p><p>His former tutors and everyone at Weston College are incredibly proud of this remarkable milestone in his career. We look forward to seeing his continued success and influence in the fashion world.</p><p>To see more of William's amazing designs, check out his Instagram <em>@williampalmer_uk</em><o:p></o:p></p><p><a href="https://www.weston.ac.uk/what-can-i-study/courses-adults/art-design-gra… you are interested in applying to our UAL Foundation Art &amp; Design course, click here.</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>If you are passionate about education and are looking for an opportunity to join the staff team at a leading college, then look at the latest job vacancies available at Weston College&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.weston.ac.uk/jobs?utm_source=main-menu&amp;utm_medium=main-…; rel="noreferrer noopener" title="https://www.weston.ac.uk/jobs?utm_source=main-menu&amp;utm_medium=main-…; target="_blank"><strong>here</strong></a><strong>.

This could be to gain the experience required to complete a specific degree course, or simply to develop their skills and build on their existing knowledge, creating a portfolio for the future. &nbsp;</span></p><p style="margin-bottom:8px;margin-left:0;margin-top:0px;"><span style="font-size:inherit;">The course is aimed at developing individuality and encourages creative and visual thinking through to Level 4 with a variety of materials and approaches. This gives learners the chance to pursue a creative focus, developing a more in-depth understanding of a subject to determine which area of study they may want to specialise in. This often leads to our students studying at the most prestigious art-based universities to further their careers and passions.&nbsp;</span></p><p style="margin-bottom:8px;margin-left:0;margin-top:0px;"><span style="font-size:inherit;">Our current </span><a href="https://www.weston.ac.uk/what-can-i-study/courses-adults/art-design-gra…; rel="noreferrer noopener" title="https://www.weston.ac.uk/what-can-i-study/courses-adults/art-design-gra…; target="_blank"><span style="color:#37797B;font-size:inherit;">UAL Foundation Diploma</span></a><span style="font-size:inherit;"> learners have been working hard on a project in which the students were given two randomly generated words which they had to base their project on. This gave the learners creative freedom, allowing them to develop a theme using their own artistic individuality with a medium of their choice.&nbsp;</span></p><p style="margin-bottom:8px;margin-left:0;margin-top:0px;"><span style="font-size:inherit;">We interviewed 4 students who have completed this project to find out how they have found the course so far, as well as how it has benefitted them to make sure students are well informed about their options before making decisions about their future.&nbsp;</span><o:p></o:p></p><p style="margin-bottom:8px;"><strong>SIENNA</strong></p><p style="margin-bottom:8px;">Sienna, a <a href="https://www.weston.ac.uk/what-can-i-study/courses-adults/art-design-gra…; rel="noreferrer noopener" title="https://www.weston.ac.uk/what-can-i-study/courses-adults/art-design-gra…; target="_blank">UAL Foundation Diploma</a> student, was recommended this course by her Sixth Form lecturers as it gave her the opportunity to develop new skills and further her knowledge of the subject. The theme of her final piece was about past societal opinions and what was classed as peculiar, and comparing this idea with the diverse and accepting society nowadays. This project gave her a better understanding of her preferred medium which she plans to develop within a Fine Art degree at university.</p><drupal-entity alt="&quot;Sienna standing next to her final project&quot;" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="70b3e329-460b-4752-ac04-e0650b048fd5" data-embed-button="file_browser" data-entity-embed-display="image:image" data-entity-embed-display-settings="{&quot;image_style&quot;:&quot;max_500x500&quot;,&quot;image_link&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;image_loading&quot;:{&quot;attribute&quot;:&quot;lazy&quot;}}">&nbsp;</drupal-entity><p style="margin-bottom:8px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin-bottom:8px;"><strong>AMY</strong></p><p style="margin-bottom:8px;">Amy, a <a href="https://www.weston.ac.uk/what-can-i-study/courses-16-18-year-olds/art-d…; rel="noreferrer noopener" title="https://www.weston.ac.uk/what-can-i-study/courses-16-18-year-olds/art-d…; target="_blank">UAL Extended Diploma student in Art, Design and Communication</a>, chose this course due to the advanced equipment available and the specialist workshops that vary in skill and ability, adding “I have loved it so much so far! The tutors have both been extremely supportive, helping me to further adapt and expand my ideas to produce well thought out and compositional work.”</p><p style="margin-bottom:8px;">Amy’s two randomly generated words were ‘deficient’ and ‘abrasive’, and after much research, she decided to base her final project on the negative opinions surrounding homelessness. She explored Maslow’s Law of Needs theory and determined that homeless people lack the same opportunities because of their status in society due to preconceptions of their background. With this in mind, Amy created a suit jacket, playing into the idea of employment for the homeless to symbolise that they deserve the same opportunities in life.</p><p style="margin-bottom:8px;">After this course, Amy plans to progress to university to either complete a Fine Art course or an Art Sculptural course.</p><drupal-entity alt="&quot;Amy standing next to her her project: a paper mache suit jacket&quot;" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e3b58c01-f52f-4e31-bf22-622437b8f888" data-embed-button="file_browser" data-entity-embed-display="image:image" data-entity-embed-display-settings="{&quot;image_style&quot;:&quot;max_500x500&quot;,&quot;image_link&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;image_loading&quot;:{&quot;attribute&quot;:&quot;lazy&quot;}}">&nbsp;</drupal-entity><p style="margin-bottom:8px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin-bottom:8px;"><strong>EDEN</strong></p><p style="margin-bottom:8px;">Eden, a <a href="https://www.weston.ac.uk/what-can-i-study/courses-16-18-year-olds/art-d…; rel="noreferrer noopener" title="https://www.weston.ac.uk/what-can-i-study/courses-16-18-year-olds/art-d…; target="_blank">UAL Extended Diploma student in Art, Design and Communication</a>, chose this course as she wanted to explore different processes and techniques to build her skills, adding, “I wasn't sure exactly what area of Art and Design I wanted to go into so this course allowed me to experiment and figure out what I liked best.”</p><p style="margin-bottom:8px;">Eden’s two randomly generated words were ‘curvilinear’ and ‘inferior’ where she decided on the theme of afro hair, creating a dress that included designs that she screen-printed onto fabric.</p><p style="margin-bottom:8px;">“I drew inspiration from my own experiences of having afro hair as well as the history of hair in African culture. The designs I screen-printed came from various Afro hairstyles. The shape was inspired by African dresses and the bright colours and patterns were inspired by tignon headscarves.”</p><p style="margin-bottom:8px;">After this course, Eden plans to go to university to study Textile Design.</p><drupal-entity alt="&quot;Eden standing next to her final project: a printed dress&quot;" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="156551ce-a7b7-401f-b94d-39d23e8cc7fb" data-embed-button="file_browser" data-entity-embed-display="image:image" data-entity-embed-display-settings="{&quot;image_style&quot;:&quot;max_500x500&quot;,&quot;image_link&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;image_loading&quot;:{&quot;attribute&quot;:&quot;lazy&quot;}}">&nbsp;</drupal-entity><p style="margin-bottom:8px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin-bottom:8px;"><strong>MOLLY</strong></p><p style="margin-bottom:8px;">Molly, a <a href="https://www.weston.ac.uk/what-can-i-study/courses-adults/art-design-gra…; rel="noreferrer noopener" title="https://www.weston.ac.uk/what-can-i-study/courses-adults/art-design-gra…; target="_blank">UAL Foundation Diploma</a> student, chose this course as she was undecided of what she wanted to do after leaving Sixth Form and wanted to give herself another year to find what she enjoyed doing. This course has allowed her to explore different techniques and where she discovered her love for screen printing on textiles which she hadn’t previously attempted.</p><p style="margin-bottom:8px;">Molly’s words were ‘voluminous’ and ‘quincunx’. She discovered that quincunx relates to a repetitive pattern which she created and transferred onto a silk screen, and voluminous related to the excessive silhouette shape of the garment that she created.</p><p style="margin-bottom:8px;">After this course, Molly plans to apply to a BA Hons Fashion and Textiles degree.</p><drupal-entity alt="&quot;Molly standing next to her final project: a printed blouse&quot;" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="444865d6-a294-4672-b682-34532e5e49d6" data-embed-button="file_browser" data-entity-embed-display="image:image" data-entity-embed-display-settings="{&quot;image_style&quot;:&quot;max_500x500&quot;,&quot;image_link&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;image_loading&quot;:{&quot;attribute&quot;:&quot;lazy&quot;}}">&nbsp;</drupal-entity><p style="margin-bottom:8px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin-bottom:8px;">Overall, it is evident that this course allows students to explore different artistic techniques that they may not have previously had the chance to try.

Dachshund looking up into the camera

<p>Last month, members of the public had the opportunity to book their dogs onto a free pet photoshoot in the photography studios at Loxton Campus. These sessions were run by Year 1 and Year 2 <a href="https://www.weston.ac.uk/what-can-i-study/courses-16-18-year-olds/creat… 3 Photography</a> students, offering them a valuable hands-on learning experience.<o:p></o:p></p><p>The students had the chance to photograph a wide variety of dog breeds, including Dachshunds, Huskies, French Bulldogs, Pomeranians, and many others. This annual event is always in high demand and sells out quickly. Not only does it provide an exciting real-world opportunity for students to enhance their photography skills, but it also allows the public to receive stunning, high-quality portraits of their beloved pets—completely free of charge.<o:p></o:p></p><p>The experience proved to be an excellent challenge for the students, helping them adapt to the needs of each dog. Not only this, capturing the perfect shot developed the students’ patience, quick thinking, and the ability to work with energetic subjects that were not always keen to sit still! These kinds of challenges are typical in professional photography due to the dynamic nature of the job, making this the perfect way for learners to gain industry experience in a controlled environment and prepare them for their future careers.<o:p></o:p></p><p>As well as gaining invaluable experience in a fast-paced, client-focused setting, the students also got to develop their personal portfolios that they can use after college.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Paul French, one of our <a href="https://www.weston.ac.uk/what-can-i-study/courses-16-18-year-olds/creat…; lecturers who organises the event each year, ensures it runs smoothly for the public, the students, and the dogs. "This event provides invaluable experience for our learners, giving them a glimpse into their future as photographers and insight into the industry. The students stepped up to the challenge and portrayed a fantastic level of maturity and professionalism—a great reflection of Weston College and the well-rounded students we produce", Paul added.<o:p></o:p></p><p>The annual dog photoshoot continues to be a highlight for both students and the community, encouraging skill development, creativity, and the joy of capturing unforgettable moments with your precious pups.</p><p>Check out a few of this year's amazing pet portraits:</p><drupal-entity alt="&quot;Black and brown dog quizzically looking into the camera&quot;" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="407a8c3b-5108-4231-b49e-536f9efaae03" data-embed-button="file_browser" data-entity-embed-display="image:image" data-entity-embed-display-settings="{&quot;image_style&quot;:&quot;max_500x500&quot;,&quot;image_link&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;image_loading&quot;:{&quot;attribute&quot;:&quot;lazy&quot;}}">&nbsp;</drupal-entity><p>&nbsp;</p><drupal-entity alt="&quot;Grey and white dog crouched towards the camera&quot;" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="0a106a66-2cf8-4270-84e0-792159c50063" data-embed-button="file_browser" data-entity-embed-display="image:image" data-entity-embed-display-settings="{&quot;image_style&quot;:&quot;max_500x500&quot;,&quot;image_link&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;image_loading&quot;:{&quot;attribute&quot;:&quot;lazy&quot;}}">&nbsp;</drupal-entity><p>&nbsp;</p><drupal-entity alt="&quot;French bulldog looking at the camera with her tongue out&quot;" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="88dfd4f4-829f-4910-8ed8-806789f438e2" data-embed-button="file_browser" data-entity-embed-display="image:image" data-entity-embed-display-settings="{&quot;image_style&quot;:&quot;max_500x500&quot;,&quot;image_link&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;image_loading&quot;:{&quot;attribute&quot;:&quot;lazy&quot;}}">&nbsp;</drupal-entity><p>&nbsp;</p><drupal-entity alt="&quot;Pomeranian looking at the camera with her tongue out&quot;" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b388addb-90de-49c8-8944-8c66c1e9157f" data-embed-button="file_browser" data-entity-embed-display="image:image" data-entity-embed-display-settings="{&quot;image_style&quot;:&quot;max_500x500&quot;,&quot;image_link&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;image_loading&quot;:{&quot;attribute&quot;:&quot;lazy&quot;}}">&nbsp;</drupal-entity><p>&nbsp;</p><drupal-entity alt="&quot;Light brown dachshund looking up into the camera&quot;" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="313c0b4c-6463-4560-845f-5a8e74ab17fe" data-embed-button="file_browser" data-entity-embed-display="image:image" data-entity-embed-display-settings="{&quot;image_style&quot;:&quot;max_500x500&quot;,&quot;image_link&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;image_loading&quot;:{&quot;attribute&quot;:&quot;lazy&quot;}}">&nbsp;</drupal-entity><p>&nbsp;</p><p><o:p></o:p></p><p><a href="https://www.weston.ac.uk/what-can-i-study/courses-16-18-year-olds/creat… you’re interested in applying to one of our Photography courses in September, click here.</a><o:p></o:p></p>

William's fashion designs on models

<p>We are thrilled to celebrate the outstanding success of&nbsp;<strong>William Palmer</strong>, a former <a href="https://www.weston.ac.uk/what-can-i-study/courses-adults/art-design-gra… Art &amp; Design</a> student at Weston College, who has been recognised with the top award at London Fashion Week. William was honoured with the prestigious&nbsp;<strong>L'Oréal Professional Creative Award</strong>&nbsp;for his MA show at the renowned&nbsp;<strong>Central Saint Martins (CSM)</strong>.<o:p></o:p></p><p>William’s exceptional talent and creative vision shone through at the&nbsp;<strong>Central Saint Martins MA Fashion press show</strong>, where his work captivated the industry’s leading figures. The winners were selected by none other than&nbsp;<strong>Yu Masui</strong>, the eccentric Japanese influencer and talent scout for the esteemed&nbsp;<strong>LVMH Prize</strong>, further solidifying William’s place among fashion’s rising stars.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Since his Foundation year at Weston College, William has built on that knowledge and had a lot of experience with products before landing a place at&nbsp;<strong>CSM</strong>. He was hired by&nbsp;<strong>Dover Street Market</strong>&nbsp;to produce collections for&nbsp;<strong>Gosha Rubchinskiy</strong>&nbsp;and later oversaw the product development of brands under the Dover Street Market Paris umbrella, such as&nbsp;<strong>ERL</strong>.<o:p></o:p></p><p>During the show, William was one of the very few who showed clothes that could be immediately sold on a shop floor, including an oversized duffle coat, a check shirt, and a trench coat.<o:p></o:p></p><p>It was a fun collection, too. “I took the tongue-in-cheek attitude of lad culture, subverting it through funny fabrics, like the tea towels, and the teacup hats. I use humour a lot also. I drew parallels between adolescence and adulthood. I’m trying to make a more playful, carefree type of guy. The world would be better for everyone,” William added.</p><drupal-entity alt="&quot;Three of William&apos;s designs on models: 1 in a large, oversized duffle coat, 1 tea towel flannel shirt and a teacup hat, and 1 in a brown coat and a hoodie jumpsuit&quot;" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="47299540-b2e8-4281-aee3-facf3cca9cb4" data-embed-button="file_browser" data-entity-embed-display="image:image" data-entity-embed-display-settings="{&quot;image_style&quot;:&quot;max_500x500&quot;,&quot;image_link&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;image_loading&quot;:{&quot;attribute&quot;:&quot;lazy&quot;}}">&nbsp;</drupal-entity><p><em>Image courtesy of Women's Wear Daily</em></p><p>The <a href="https://www.weston.ac.uk/what-can-i-study/courses-adults/art-design-gra… Art &amp; Design</a> course at Weston College provided William with the skills and techniques required to get into Central Saint Martins at the University of the Arts London, saying, “My pre-degree course provided me with essential foundational skills, basic knowledge, and the opportunity to develop a portfolio that ultimately helped me secure further studies.&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></p><p>It was during my A-Level studies at Weston College that I first discovered my drive to pursue fashion design. Following that, I enrolled in an Art Foundation course, which became one of my most memorable years. Surrounded by a diverse group of creatives from various backgrounds, I had the chance to specialize in fashion for the first time. This focused approach allowed me to take my passion seriously, equipping me with the skills and confidence to continue my studies in London.<o:p></o:p></p><p><strong>Rachel Clayton</strong>, William's former tutor at&nbsp;<strong>Weston College's Foundation Art &amp; Design</strong>&nbsp;programme, shared his pride: "William's dedication and innovative approach were evident from the start. I am over the moon to see him receive such a distinguished honour. His journey from a dedicated <a href="https://www.weston.ac.uk/what-can-i-study/courses-adults/art-design-gra… Art &amp; Design</a> learner at Weston College to receiving one of the most coveted accolades in the fashion industry is truly inspiring. This achievement is a testament to his hard work, passion, and innovative approach to fashion design.”<o:p></o:p></p><p>His former tutors and everyone at Weston College are incredibly proud of this remarkable milestone in his career. We look forward to seeing his continued success and influence in the fashion world.</p><p>To see more of William's amazing designs, check out his Instagram <em>@williampalmer_uk</em><o:p></o:p></p><p><a href="https://www.weston.ac.uk/what-can-i-study/courses-adults/art-design-gra… you are interested in applying to our UAL Foundation Art &amp; Design course, click here.</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>If you are passionate about education and are looking for an opportunity to join the staff team at a leading college, then look at the latest job vacancies available at Weston College&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.weston.ac.uk/jobs?utm_source=main-menu&amp;utm_medium=main-…; rel="noreferrer noopener" title="https://www.weston.ac.uk/jobs?utm_source=main-menu&amp;utm_medium=main-…; target="_blank"><strong>here</strong></a><strong>.

UAL Extended Diploma Art and Design final project designs

This could be to gain the experience required to complete a specific degree course, or simply to develop their skills and build on their existing knowledge, creating a portfolio for the future. &nbsp;</span></p><p style="margin-bottom:8px;margin-left:0;margin-top:0px;"><span style="font-size:inherit;">The course is aimed at developing individuality and encourages creative and visual thinking through to Level 4 with a variety of materials and approaches. This gives learners the chance to pursue a creative focus, developing a more in-depth understanding of a subject to determine which area of study they may want to specialise in. This often leads to our students studying at the most prestigious art-based universities to further their careers and passions.&nbsp;</span></p><p style="margin-bottom:8px;margin-left:0;margin-top:0px;"><span style="font-size:inherit;">Our current </span><a href="https://www.weston.ac.uk/what-can-i-study/courses-adults/art-design-gra…; rel="noreferrer noopener" title="https://www.weston.ac.uk/what-can-i-study/courses-adults/art-design-gra…; target="_blank"><span style="color:#37797B;font-size:inherit;">UAL Foundation Diploma</span></a><span style="font-size:inherit;"> learners have been working hard on a project in which the students were given two randomly generated words which they had to base their project on. This gave the learners creative freedom, allowing them to develop a theme using their own artistic individuality with a medium of their choice.&nbsp;</span></p><p style="margin-bottom:8px;margin-left:0;margin-top:0px;"><span style="font-size:inherit;">We interviewed 4 students who have completed this project to find out how they have found the course so far, as well as how it has benefitted them to make sure students are well informed about their options before making decisions about their future.&nbsp;</span><o:p></o:p></p><p style="margin-bottom:8px;"><strong>SIENNA</strong></p><p style="margin-bottom:8px;">Sienna, a <a href="https://www.weston.ac.uk/what-can-i-study/courses-adults/art-design-gra…; rel="noreferrer noopener" title="https://www.weston.ac.uk/what-can-i-study/courses-adults/art-design-gra…; target="_blank">UAL Foundation Diploma</a> student, was recommended this course by her Sixth Form lecturers as it gave her the opportunity to develop new skills and further her knowledge of the subject. The theme of her final piece was about past societal opinions and what was classed as peculiar, and comparing this idea with the diverse and accepting society nowadays. This project gave her a better understanding of her preferred medium which she plans to develop within a Fine Art degree at university.</p><drupal-entity alt="&quot;Sienna standing next to her final project&quot;" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="70b3e329-460b-4752-ac04-e0650b048fd5" data-embed-button="file_browser" data-entity-embed-display="image:image" data-entity-embed-display-settings="{&quot;image_style&quot;:&quot;max_500x500&quot;,&quot;image_link&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;image_loading&quot;:{&quot;attribute&quot;:&quot;lazy&quot;}}">&nbsp;</drupal-entity><p style="margin-bottom:8px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin-bottom:8px;"><strong>AMY</strong></p><p style="margin-bottom:8px;">Amy, a <a href="https://www.weston.ac.uk/what-can-i-study/courses-16-18-year-olds/art-d…; rel="noreferrer noopener" title="https://www.weston.ac.uk/what-can-i-study/courses-16-18-year-olds/art-d…; target="_blank">UAL Extended Diploma student in Art, Design and Communication</a>, chose this course due to the advanced equipment available and the specialist workshops that vary in skill and ability, adding “I have loved it so much so far! The tutors have both been extremely supportive, helping me to further adapt and expand my ideas to produce well thought out and compositional work.”</p><p style="margin-bottom:8px;">Amy’s two randomly generated words were ‘deficient’ and ‘abrasive’, and after much research, she decided to base her final project on the negative opinions surrounding homelessness. She explored Maslow’s Law of Needs theory and determined that homeless people lack the same opportunities because of their status in society due to preconceptions of their background. With this in mind, Amy created a suit jacket, playing into the idea of employment for the homeless to symbolise that they deserve the same opportunities in life.</p><p style="margin-bottom:8px;">After this course, Amy plans to progress to university to either complete a Fine Art course or an Art Sculptural course.</p><drupal-entity alt="&quot;Amy standing next to her her project: a paper mache suit jacket&quot;" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e3b58c01-f52f-4e31-bf22-622437b8f888" data-embed-button="file_browser" data-entity-embed-display="image:image" data-entity-embed-display-settings="{&quot;image_style&quot;:&quot;max_500x500&quot;,&quot;image_link&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;image_loading&quot;:{&quot;attribute&quot;:&quot;lazy&quot;}}">&nbsp;</drupal-entity><p style="margin-bottom:8px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin-bottom:8px;"><strong>EDEN</strong></p><p style="margin-bottom:8px;">Eden, a <a href="https://www.weston.ac.uk/what-can-i-study/courses-16-18-year-olds/art-d…; rel="noreferrer noopener" title="https://www.weston.ac.uk/what-can-i-study/courses-16-18-year-olds/art-d…; target="_blank">UAL Extended Diploma student in Art, Design and Communication</a>, chose this course as she wanted to explore different processes and techniques to build her skills, adding, “I wasn't sure exactly what area of Art and Design I wanted to go into so this course allowed me to experiment and figure out what I liked best.”</p><p style="margin-bottom:8px;">Eden’s two randomly generated words were ‘curvilinear’ and ‘inferior’ where she decided on the theme of afro hair, creating a dress that included designs that she screen-printed onto fabric.</p><p style="margin-bottom:8px;">“I drew inspiration from my own experiences of having afro hair as well as the history of hair in African culture. The designs I screen-printed came from various Afro hairstyles. The shape was inspired by African dresses and the bright colours and patterns were inspired by tignon headscarves.”</p><p style="margin-bottom:8px;">After this course, Eden plans to go to university to study Textile Design.</p><drupal-entity alt="&quot;Eden standing next to her final project: a printed dress&quot;" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="156551ce-a7b7-401f-b94d-39d23e8cc7fb" data-embed-button="file_browser" data-entity-embed-display="image:image" data-entity-embed-display-settings="{&quot;image_style&quot;:&quot;max_500x500&quot;,&quot;image_link&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;image_loading&quot;:{&quot;attribute&quot;:&quot;lazy&quot;}}">&nbsp;</drupal-entity><p style="margin-bottom:8px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin-bottom:8px;"><strong>MOLLY</strong></p><p style="margin-bottom:8px;">Molly, a <a href="https://www.weston.ac.uk/what-can-i-study/courses-adults/art-design-gra…; rel="noreferrer noopener" title="https://www.weston.ac.uk/what-can-i-study/courses-adults/art-design-gra…; target="_blank">UAL Foundation Diploma</a> student, chose this course as she was undecided of what she wanted to do after leaving Sixth Form and wanted to give herself another year to find what she enjoyed doing. This course has allowed her to explore different techniques and where she discovered her love for screen printing on textiles which she hadn’t previously attempted.</p><p style="margin-bottom:8px;">Molly’s words were ‘voluminous’ and ‘quincunx’. She discovered that quincunx relates to a repetitive pattern which she created and transferred onto a silk screen, and voluminous related to the excessive silhouette shape of the garment that she created.</p><p style="margin-bottom:8px;">After this course, Molly plans to apply to a BA Hons Fashion and Textiles degree.</p><drupal-entity alt="&quot;Molly standing next to her final project: a printed blouse&quot;" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="444865d6-a294-4672-b682-34532e5e49d6" data-embed-button="file_browser" data-entity-embed-display="image:image" data-entity-embed-display-settings="{&quot;image_style&quot;:&quot;max_500x500&quot;,&quot;image_link&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;image_loading&quot;:{&quot;attribute&quot;:&quot;lazy&quot;}}">&nbsp;</drupal-entity><p style="margin-bottom:8px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin-bottom:8px;">Overall, it is evident that this course allows students to explore different artistic techniques that they may not have previously had the chance to try.
