An interview with Megan Banks
Megan Banks advances her career by taking on a BA (Hons) Photography Course at Hereford College of Arts. Read our interview with Megan and check out her awesome blog at 'It's like Meg' here
Previous High School: Earl Mortimer College,
Leominster
Why did you choose to
come to HCA:
It
gave me a chance to do something I love and I wanted to find where my art could
take me and what careers it could lead to.
What have been the
highlights for you over the past 2 years:
In
the 2nd year you really start to understand the importance of all
the experimenting and finding out about a whole range of art & design
subjects you do in the first year, because you are constantly learning. Whatever you do here influences how you think
and you take that all with you in the second, specialist year. It means you
have a greater level of confidence to work on self -initiated projects.
Anything you have been
particularly proud about whilst on the course
I’ve
had quite a few opportunities to exhibit my work – it’s a good feeling to know
people are looking at my work, and hopefully like it. I’m pretty proud of my final portfolio too.
How would you describe
the culture and atmosphere at the College:
Everyone
is gets along. They are really open to
individual ideas and opinions and you never feel like you are being judged.
What you would you say
to someone thinking about doing the course:
If
you want to try out new way of learning and new experiences – this course
delivers!
What advice would you
give someone in Year 10 or 11:
You
have to have an interest in art & design to start with but because of all
the different pathways and the support you get from tutors a whole range of
possibilities open up for you.
What do you plan to do
when you leave the course:
I’ve
been offered a place at HCA to study BA (Hons) Photography
And long-term plans:
To
have a really successful photography business and develop a unique style of
photography.
