Throughout my Senior Phase I have chosen a range of subjects including Art & Design.
This has inspired me as I plan to study Fashion, Textiles and Performance Costume at University. From there I would like to work in the theatre or film industry as a costume designer or maker.
By studying Art & Design I have developed my creativity skills as well as my organisational and time management skills, by working under pressure to complete my work by the deadlines.
