Interviews

I currently have contacted people around me who may have access to artist’s that I would be able to interview. I thought that this would be the most effective way to gain opportunities for a response as without direct contact my email requests to artists way not get seen.

My housemate has given me the contact details of her stepmum who is a current artist who practises painting and produces lots of abstract work. She exhibits ….

My grandparents have worked at the University of Leicester and over the years have become friends with or formed acquaintances with a wide variety of people who all career paths. So I thought it was worth asking them if they knew an y artists that I would interview.

Megan Hunter

Megan Hunter is a Leicester based portrait artist, who uses oil paints to create realistic likeness to people who she is portraying. I was fortunate enough for Megan to give me some time to interview her and gain some greater insight into her practise.

Work Experience

As part of my research into future career possibilities, I have been looking into education. I have began by contacting my A-level tutor requesting to volunteer in the Art department.

I think gaining some work experience in a classroom environment would be beneficial to me to see behind the scenes of lesson planning and the current curriculum that teachers have. This will give me a greater insight into wether a career in education would be a career worth pursuing.
