Reflective Essay For Foundation Course

651 Words3 Pages

I am currently on a Foundation Diploma at the Basingstoke College of Technology where I have enjoyed exploring a range of subjects such as 3D design, fine art, photography and graphic design. My initial intent of studying on the foundation course was to gain an insight into what path I would like to follow but instead I found I was more drawn to the course because it offered me a greater sense of freedom and a way to express my individuality. So far the foundation has enabled me to experiment with different types of media, and has also helped developed my creative thinking. The initial development I found was the importance of the creative process and how gathering primary and secondary research can be so vital. Through my first project I found this approach to research was particularly apparent, it broke certain restrictions and helped me create a coherent outcome. I went to life drawing and observational skill sessions. I established a greater amount of mark-making techniques through this exploration and broke the use of traditional mediums.

  • DFCS Reflective Essay

    584 Words  | 3 Pages

    My biggest expectation going into the internship at DFCS was that I would learn more about the social work/social services field and confirm that social work was truly what I wanted to spend my life doing as a career. I also expected to confirm my thought that DFCS was a place I would enjoy working and could see myself working in the future after graduate school. This internship met my personal expectations, however it happened in a way much differently than I expected. While the internship experience did confirm that I love social work and the social services field, it showed me that DFCS is not the agency that I want to work with as a career. I stand behind DFCS 100%; however, I don’t think I could work with DFCS long term.

    Ever since I heard of landscape architecture and what landscape architects do, it has always been my only ambition because it incorporates my passions and hobbies into study and eventually a job. From a young age, I have always loved design, art, photography, nature and outdoor spaces all of which are points of interests and skills that landscape architects require. In my previous studies, related subjects to landscape architecture that I have studied and have had a keen interest in were IGCSE Art and Design as well as Geography (both of which I obtained the A* grade). I feel that these two subjects have been the starting point in helping me to decide that landscape architecture is the right pathway for me.
