Tom's Portfolio Path: Inspirational Quote..

the guy behind the blog..

I am a college student currently studying a BTEC National Diploma at Level 3 in Art & 3D Design. When I chose my GCSE's i hadn't a clue what I wanted to be. I just took the ones I liked the look of. This consisted of Maths, English, Science, ICT, Geography, Resistant Materials and German, that's including the compulsory subjects. I passed them all, and gained a healthy range of grades of qualification.

First of all, i'm not an artist.. But I do like to experiment with all the different media's and materials I can when I am designing. I'm a sucker for a new pack of pencils and even find pleasure from a pristine shaped rubber, I could say i'm quite a perfectionist but when it comes down to designing, I am not afraid to get stuck in and learn from mistakes.

When i started my college course we had a rule.. We had to draw in pen. We were taught to hate the rubber, and told that in design there are no mistakes, within reason..

Inspirational Quote..

The public space is born and grows with us, it shifts and develops in time, geography, volume and colour.

Like a lighthouse on the coast we need to place points of reference in our lives that will help us to fix, like the base of a perfume, the most fleeting scents and swiftest sparkles.

Art in public places should help to fix the impalpable, fleeting beauty, the perfume of our memory.

Chicago 2002, Aeneas Wilder
